The Speakeasy

[Deathwing]

As of late, I have been working on my two boards for Historicon and I thought I would share some in-progress shots. The pictures aren't the best as my work area has no above lighting.

Mystery of the Last Tsar board

This board is green now, but will be covered in thicker grasses with a heavy dusting of snow to represent a mountainous region during the Russian summer. They're probably wouldn't be snow, but I'm taking Hollywood liberties. The rocks and road have been drybrushed white to help get a more even snow effect.

A Question of Loyalties board

Set in souther England during the English Civil War, this board is the remake of my first LaVale board. The first board (the first picture) was nice, but I really thought I could do it better. This board will be heavily flocked and still needs to be painted. The Pardulon buildings really set the tone.

The Pardulon buildings are gorgeous, and I would by lying if I didn't immediately confess to considerable jealousy of them. I can't wait to see the re-done LaVale board.

I really like the snowy Russian board. Simple crossroads are really effective, and I like the subtlety of the snow design. Good job with the tire track gouges in the mud, too!
