Up this week for the album of the week (ish) is a classic from Clannad. Clannad is an Irish group that gained fame and popularity in the 80's. They started as a traditional Irish music group. Their name means "family" in Gaelic. They are the brothers and sisters of another Irish superstar - Enya. While not the first album to integrate their traditional celtic sound with modern popular music, that would be Magical Ring with the mega hit "Harry's Game", it was the first to gain my attention. Check out the duet with Bono on "In A Lifetime". I love this album.
BLACK FANG COMPLETED
Also, the Black Fang Tribe are finally done. The Black Fang Tribe live in the canyons of Brimstone and in the Blasted Wastes. They consume darkstone for mystical powers and this has mutated them and driven them mad. Their tell-tale characteristics are white eyes full of void energy and darkstone stained lips. I am really happy with the cohesion of the unit as a whole. I worked hard on the feathers and the darkstone feel of the amulets, axes, and mouths. They still look like little boys who ate too much blueberry pie, but I am happy overall. I added a few details to the bases with skulls and rocks. Next up is a character miniature and the Magma Giant. It had been so long since I painted, my skills got rusty but with the shutdown of schools I have at least two straight weeks to practice. There has to be an easier way...
