My 3 adopted cats !

I love them very much :3

SORRY NOT SORRY I was crying before our summer practise meeting, because painting sucks

But then I remember I can draw nude Thanquol, so life started to get better

Btw I think he's actually more of an oldrat than a twink

Prophet of the Horned Rat

Without further ado, the prophet of the horned rat in all his splendor!

It was my first project such a large size and a plot component. It inspired and scared me. In total, it took about 150 hours. I painted it in two stages — the winter one, when I was still in a hurry to finish it for the Squidmar Open, and the spring one, when I rested and continued painting it in May.

During the winter, I suffered from melancholy, anxiety, and burnout. I forced myself to work on the garbage will-of-the-Great-Horned-Rat interpreter and, of course, did not get any pleasure from it. Then I could only finish the trees, the head, and start the dress. After that, I sought psychological help and pushed the miniature away.

Right now Vizzik, along with his entourage, is walking through a humid autumn forest, not noticing how he bends trees under his weight, scares animals and misses an ambush by a hostile clan. Initially, he and a large group of semiblind followers explored a huge fragment of a warpstone. When I returned after the break, I threw out this idea and reduced the size of the diorama to the base of the sewer giant. I’m also threw out his sword and turned his head slightly.

The base initially came out badly — the foam layers did not stick together, sanding the sides was a nightmare, and a lot of space remained unused. In general, it's good that I replaced it. And you can also play with him now! I won't do it, but I can't not report it.

On the other hand, 3 other skaven will definitely not be able to play as independent units now. I don't play warhammer at all, as I find downtime incredibly boring, so they'll be more useful next to basement Moses.

Did you know that our laboratory colleagues can't see well? I'd like to think that Skaven have very limited eyesight, so it's quite possible that an acolyte in a gas mask not only didn't sense the impending threat, but also didn't see it and is only thinking about the target right in front of him.

In addition to the Skaven, there are a huge number of rats, sticks, trees from Epic Basing, bushes and leaves from Vallejo and AK and other small animals — I really wanted to show the invasion of bipedal rodents into fall forest.

I encountered a lot of problems when assembling the final work, and I learned even more during painting. This miniature became a test and a teacher for me. It was difficult, and I could have done it alone, but with a much worse result. Thanks to everyone who supported me:

My wife, who bought me a Vizzik, Acolyte Globadier, tolerates my rat obsession and is always ready to give honest feedback.

To everyone I asked for feedback on this project.

@sallllltywater for allowing his drawing to be used for the scarf.

Print-Paint-Repeat for printing all additional elements of the base.

Epic Basing for making such great additions to our miniatures.

Sculptors at Games Workshop — without them, I wouldn't have this project. The prices for miniatures are still brutal.

I still cannot stop thinking about how much she looks like miao ying… i feel sorry for my commissioner…

Cropping this JUST to be safe, but another wonderful commission by @sallllltywater. I've always loved how rough and sketch your style looks, almost like a graphic novel! It's Khorne and Slaanesh in a scene from my fic Misbegotten, which explores the circumstances of Malal's birth.
