As life has been super-crazy-stressful-busy (sounds like the title of a Red Hot Chili Peppers album) lately, I was resigned that a few "must finish" projects had to be set aside for a bit. I then recalled I had a set almost ready to go. I added a few doodles I had done over the past year and viola, a set was almost half done. OK... So.. I could finish this!  The whole point is to make minis inspired by 70s and 80s sci fi movies. You might recognize the sources for some of these minis. There will also be some support/material for Darkfast Dungeons/Save the Day and White Star RPG.  |

That hallway is spectacular. Is it yours or from somewhere else?

There are a lot of things to like about it. Enough detail to look 'real', yet not distracting. Your figures look good on it

I think a whole Space Princess set would be fun. |

So, another Extrastellar set is on the way. The original idea came from some new Where No Man has Gone Before minis I was working on scanning when I realized I had a lot of colonist jumpsuit figures. With a few more I could have a whole set... That's what happened.   |

Yeah, those should work pretty well as a base for »Space 1999« mods...  |

Yes, and yes, the new minis will go there. |

Nice work David! Add a white peacoat on the males and you have Star Blazers/Uchuu Seinkan Yamato figures.

Or just a black and white line art option, easy to customize from that.  |

Or just a black and white line art option, easy to customize from that. Personally, I'd still start with the colored version, to preserve the shading. First step is make a new layer and desaturate it. Then create a separate copy of that desaturated layer for each section (pants, tunic, shield, etc.). I colorize the layer for each section, then use layer masks to reveal the colorized version, and then flatten it all at the end. If I were to work from a line-art version, I'd lose the artist's shading, and have to do that all over again, which would involve the airbrush tool at the very least. |

They look good with the Mantis. I think this is the first time I've seen one in grey.
