Hello,

i`m from Poland and wanted to present you here with results of my artistic efforts.
I hope you will be entertained and maybe find some inspiration for your armies, as i will be painting models from many systems.
Comments and feedback are sincerely welcome.

My lizardmen army:

I wanted to share with you new portion of photos from my artistic beginnings.

Very nice, the fire-like crests really add a decent colour splash to the whole scheme. Also the blending on the terradon's banner is very good.

Thank you for appreciation of my color choices. I spent a lot of time on the banners. I wanted it to look like a rainbow of rainforest. Year after painting standards this way i found out that rainbow banners symbolize homosexuals.

Today i upload heroes of my Lizardmen army.

Skink Priests, one is a simple, yet suprisingly pretty conversion.


Saurus Scan Veterans. Mounted Veteran is converted from Saurus Oldblood on foot model. I really, really liked both infantry models, but needed only one on foot. Official Veterans on Cold Ones are very poorly sculpted so i never even considered owning them.

Hello, today i add Lizardmen Lords to my gallery.

Amateurishly sculpted Slann Mage Priest, as i didn't like the passive pose of official Slann.





Great model of Oldblood on Carnosaur. I tweaked it a bit to my liking adding halberd/great weapon instead of spear and horn and tongue to carnosaur.

Well...overall great job, painting that much to that high of a level is just awesome. Only thing i didn't love was the slaan. They are supposed to be ancient, basically unmoving, master of magic.

Yours looks like its been possessed by nurgle or something. I guess I've just always been a massive fan of the slaan as is.

Thanks for the comment. I agree that Slann resembles some fallen Nurgle acolyte. Unfortunately that was the best i could do at the time. I was marked by nurgle plague of skill-lessness.

Now we are almost over with begginer stuff, so brace yourselves because alongside winter there will come some awsome minis.

Skinks Snipers.
Story background: Unit of Skinks Skirmishers (Scouts) is set on the back of Wood Elf army (played by Tomek Tutaj the Polish WE player at ETC 2014). I placed it there for blocking-march purposes and didn't expect much of it. During my 1st turn i menaged to get a shot at Wood Elf lord on Dragon with talisman (3+ ward save that is lost after 1st unsaved roll). On 10 shots fired 4 poisoned darts were randomed at the lord and i meneaged to take off the ward with 1st poison and lord died! Of cource i ended up losing this game anyways cause Tomek is such a great player.
Nevertheless it became my inspiration for creating elite skink sniper unit in memmory of that shooting round.

WIP without basing so you can see the paintjob:


Ready and based:

Hello there.
We came to the conclusion of my lizardmen army. This are one of the last photos of my lizardmen and soon we get to 40k stuff.

Aquatic skinks, nothing special about them, just wanted to experiment with water bases.




Skinks Bloody Berserkers of Sotek

Storyline: Unit of skinks survives charge of 5 chaos warhounds and kills them in combat, actually saughters with weapons no breaking in combat involved. In the other game vs Tomek Tutaj they survive hail of arrows (like 30+) and not die, nor panic on their own LD which lets me block a charge on the flank of Stegadon later this game. They earn reputation of insanely courageus and bloodthirsty skinks. I rewarded them with fierce look they deserved.

Here comes a little break in Warhammer Fantasy and for a closing photo i give you my first attempt at NMM.



Next up W40k, Dark Angels. See you soon.

I love the paint on the Sniper Skins, I'd love to see something similar carry over to the rest of your army.

Opening photos for my first commission: Dark Angels

Interesting, that first Dark Angel's squad has some pretty different colors from the usual. Was it the client's request?

I think hey look cool but at the same time, I feel the armor looks a bit flat with no highlighting.

The little flame detail is totally awesome

Sorry for falling silent had a lot of stuff to do. On the bright side i will be soon lunching website with a lot of my photos. Posting photo of 1 mini from 3 diffrent angels is impractical here so i think my thread and website will complement each other well.

Terminators:






Closer look on the standard:

The lizardmen are wonderful! really like the colour transition on the orange frills, and your highlighting work on the bone is ace. Unusual to see fantasy armies looking so characterful too, so keep it up!

Thanks for complimenting my lizards.

After pretty successful attempt at freehand on the Terminator Standard i was asked for some conversions that would allow my freehands to shine again:

WIPs:





Finnished model:

Time for some heavy gear:

Magnetized tanks:

Sideviews for freehand fans.

After advanced top of the line units, it's time for some good old rhinos.



...and some heavy hitters to balance things out.

AT the end of the weekend let's return to fantasy universe:

Some Slayers with Ungrim:

I wanted to share with you photos of collections that I was entrusted to paint and sometimes convert.

If you like photos presented here you can easily watch more angles of miniatures you fancy and of course my other works on my freshly ariesen website.

http://lukaszzelazek.com/

To accordingly reflect that event let's start with Tomb Kings.

Here is a big-ass transformer Necrosphinx. It can be dissasembled (magnets) and transformed into Khemrian Warsphinx but i need to recognize the obsidian pattern on the body to find adequate photos to illustrate that.
Nevertheless, dear Visitors, I hope you enjoy the upcomming obsidian Tomb Kings Construct army:

Here is the Sphinx that above Necrosphinx could transform into. Good alternative for very unpopular and situational models like Necrosphinx, who is efficient only in some scenarios vs other Monsters.
I`m curious what you guys think about this work.

Cheers.

So basing on the lack of responses I think the works that I presented so far are too weak.
I don't wanna bore you with my posts so I decided to skip the ancient works of mine, you will be able to watch them on my website but here I will post only the high level stuff from now on.
Hope you enjoy the change in quality.

Here are some Space Wolfs I painted for fun in commission free time.

The marble effect looks really nice and so do the wolves.

Thanks for appreciating my 00 brush Giraffex, I like the weathered look on marines and I was insisting on my client to agree on it. As the saying goes: "Knight in a shiny armour has never had his metal truly tested"

Well after thinking about it my view about lack of responses was a misconception. There are still quite a lot of people visiting my gallery so thats really cool of you. People probably just choose not to comment but if you feel like you have some valuable opinion then please share it with me here or by PM cause i`m curious.

After that little rant let's come back to the essence of this topic:

Space Wolfs Blood Claw:

Another Space Wolf, this time Scout:








I also uploaded my recent commission of Nurgle Chaos Space Marines on CMON if you want to you can rate them as soon as the photo gets active status. http://www.coolminiornot.com/380595
I will upload here more photos of them soon.
If you are planning on commissioning painting of some models please consider also my offer.

Hello, I present you next portion of 40k photos.

Today I have a question:
I posted my Space Wolfs and above CSM on CMON to check if I`m as good as I think I am. Nurgle Marines got so much higher notes than Blood Claw and frankly said I`m stunned and baffled. I spent so much time on skin shading and cool base with cracking ice and snow and that model got only a note of 6, while CSM got over 7 points average when it's mostly airbrush fast painting with some pigments to imitate rust. Does any explanation come to your mind?

Blood Claw: http://www.coolminiornot.com/380537

Nurgle CSM: http://www.coolminiornot.com/380595

I guess it's clear who would win this duel if it came to looks.

Another, more detailed take on papa Nurgle beloved children:

Great work here, mate.
I think that out of all, the chaos space marines are the best looking ones - contrast between the soil, rocks and corrupter armour works wonders.

Well done !

Thanks ciuncky, I`m still learning the color composision and stuff. There is also thing called texture composition, so if I had hard, stiff, CSMs to contrast that you add soft grass and liquid on bases. I did simillar think with Space Wolfs (soft and fluffy looking snow).

So now time to switch systems completly. Time for a game from Corvus Belli; Infinity:

First up is Ironman! Kirpal Sighn.

Hello. Today I present you some mechanical support of PanO army. Beautiful models, it was fun to paint them as walking PanOceania logos.
