Knowing I could easily brush these back on gave me a bit of courage to move forward with the weathering. Regular readers will remember that I've been using zenithal priming on my miniatures since acquiring an airbrush last Fall the mongrels were the first that I've primed differently since then, using a basecoat of Vallejo Model Air GunMetal and zenithal highlights of VMA Steel. I interpreted the card art of the mongrels to depict old, rusty, mechanical dogs, and I decided this would be a good chance to try painting rust. Almost all of my colors are custom mixed from a limited collection of paints, and so it's arduous or impossible to re-mix base colors should I need to cover up weathering gone awry. When I paint a miniature, especially if I am happy with it, then I am loath to risk messing it up. For those who don't know, "weathering" is the process of taking a nicely painted miniature and making it look dirty and worn. Once I got my head clear and my confidence up, I jumped in with the mongrels. Smooth, featureless surfaces are the worst-there's nowhere to hide. This means they do look like children's toys, but it also means a lot of trouble painting. Most of the miniatures are comprised of simple, smooth geometric shapes with very little detail. When I primed the figures, I was struck by how very round they are. I find that there's a problem here where the longer you put the brushes down, somehow they become more intimidating to pick up.

There were a few reasons for this, including Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire, as well as more professional obligations.
I picked up a copy as soon as I could and got the figures primed, but then I went several weeks without touching my brushes.
