Spent time with your loved ones and play as often as you can!

Playing something actively and being aware of it is helpful for the soul. If you do not play enough or lose the key on how to play, find it by playing more. Playing is a creative thing that happens just in a moment. There are many similarities to painting. While painting you should play, not wearing a corset of rules that takes your breath for a fun game. If you play while painting this message is not aimed at you, if you don't this is for you.

Keep on happy playing!
Roman

Dear Ladies and gentlemen,

once again some time has passed quietly (way too fast in our opinion) and it is urgently time for the next update about Roman´s and Bene´s Zombie Community Project. We did not forget this in early 2017, the months just passed so fast ... and yeah, well.

If you don´t know what we are talking about you are welcome to check the link below, where the idea behind the project is explained. You will also find there a link to all the updates and names on people who are supporting us in this:

Let's dive right in to the great numbers of our supporters 
- this high number of Zombies was given to Roman and Bene at Roman's Speedpainting Masterclass - a mixture of different Zombies painted by different participants:


Wow, we were speechless. Thank you all so much! This is a great push forward. Thank you so much for a really cool Speedpainting Masterclass.




This great idea by David caught our eyes - you might recognize someone:


We had to start our third board of Zombies sponsored by the community:





As Roman was able to paint some more Zombies too and had to start his second board. The numbers are rising. Everything together looks like this right now:









Thank you, Ole for a) being a supercool private coaching student and b) for the donation of two painted Zombies plus a box full of CMON Zombicie Zombies:

 
Here is a little insight in some stages of work while Roman was painting Zombies as prep for the upcoming Speedpainting class - all painted in 15 Minutes as this is the goal for mastering speedpainting:




Even faster when you do four in a row ...


My first full board of Zombies:

And the second started board ...



Many thanks for your continous support. We also continue to push this forward and we are happy that we planned so much time for this project. It will be epic, huge and a neverending story, but when it is done it will be amazing, thanks to all your help!

What are the next steps?
Bene and Roman do not get tired of painting Zombies, just a little slower in this early 2017. As there is already a good number of Zombies both decided to meet soon for a little progress on the basework for this never seen before diorama, some progress on the base incoming to see everything of the full picture grow together. Of course we will keep you updated on this.


That is at least what we thought, but frankly it is still just Zombies going on right now.

We are slowly entering stage #02 of our project plan.
You can read the initial plans on the project and our work schedule here.

STAGE#01 - ending
Painting as much Zombies as possible. Many, in a good quality, but not too high as we need masses.

STAGE#02 - incoming
As soon as we got a good amount of painted Zombies we will start working on the lower area of the base and the bridge. Build, paint and then we can already add the first painted Zombies to see how many more we need. This is good for motivation.

STAGE#03
Frankly, more Zombies.

STAGE#04
As soon as the ground is packed and painted we will start working on the upper area of the highway. Prepare the road, looted cars and the dramatic moment that is happening on top.

STAGE#05
We guess more Zombies again and finalizing the epic scene on top which will still be a surprise for you. Final paintwork, final sculpting and conversion work and finalizing everything.

STAGE#06 
Of course there will be a stage 6, but we do not know it yet.
 

How can you still help us?

Well, we need more Zombies still :D

Roman's Last Light WIP - Full Step by Step.

Your highlights are mainly based on adding more and more white?
They are loosing their color power and turn to look greyish in the end?

Well, if you only add white to brighten up a color you will desaturate it, try to mix in a tiny portion of another color during your highlight process to avoid this. Yellow works wonders and is very powerful, but also every other color works. Highlight with color!
