Eye love it! Some people have some skills at painting but you really have an eye for it.

Lovely work on the eye-beast!

Dudes and dudettes I have another model

This is sort of a dragon ogre? I actually really quite like the job on him but he was hard to photograph which is a shame because I thought the photo's looked good on the camera the skin looks cool and I wanted to shy away from just doing an Ork green style on him, his face sadly didn't have as much detail as the rest of the sculpt but overall he's pretty beastly looking, I can tell you now I wouldn't want to meet him in a cave somewhere! Oh and I really like his horns!

Some green at last! Very nice, lovely model, and brilliant paint job.

I love how you basically use greyscale washing as your go to paint technique. I've always been a fan of this style and I wish I still had my skaven that I painted that way.

Looks great Damo. Were you going to do anything for it's eyes? The face needs something to give it focus I think.

Hey guys thanks again, not going to play any more with him Gits, the model is pretty muddy when it comes to his face, the larger areas of the bigger models are all great but they struggle with anything crisp and smaller, so faces and hands etc fall down a bit on quality i've got to sort of make bits up as I paint. but I do like them all, really great designs and characterful models

now another big guy! a Cyclops this time, good fun painting the skin a dusty mountain weathered colour and seeing what I can do keeping the comic style on all of them, a few blended highlights with the final one being more of an edge highlight and quite bold seems to have done the trick on them.

These monsters are INSANELY cool damo. I must say, you leave some mighty compliments on my page but whenever i come over here i always feel small when it comes to imagination and raw artistic output. You just have the vision bro. You got that 3rd eye ninja ish, and all of your works are larger than life because of it! I can practice technique all day but ill never have the imagination you bring to the table. Always inspiring my friend!! (( and i should mentionL the consistency of top level execution is the nail in the coffin) You da cat!!

Holy bejesus these are great. You have a fantastic eye for colors, man. And the sculpting is awesome. Looking forward to seeing even more.

Never skip eye day

Painting is amazing. You really bring out all the nice details in those amazing sculpts

I'm moving ahead pretty well with these guys and have another one done! this is a cave troll i'm imagining him from icy climes so have used lots of blues and greys again, I know I said it before but this slightly comic style is really fun for me to do as it speeds up my process heaps and on the larger models it just works so bloody well!

Its nice to see you painting some fantasy monsters, they look very cool.

Really like the eye guy

So cool!

Especially the eye monster and the troll.

Troll came out very nice. The blues work well.

Lots of fun. I like his nose, looks like he's got hay fever from the local weather!

Smashing work on the beasties, Nerdy.

Wow, amazing work on here! I must say, the eye beast needs some small veins in the whites of the eyes though, that would take it into nightmare territory!

Great work on those big guys, Damo - are they all from Massive Darkness?

While most Gnomes steal underpants, these guys will steal your heart literally, they'll cut that bastard out and take it home with them!





I also got a little box in the post! now this is some beautifully packed and presented models! the models themselves are stunningly crisp and the quality is 10/10. i'll show you the models when I assemble them but I got the big Ork boss, the Gabriel Angelos type one and the banshee/boneshee as well as the enforcer.arbites model,

The lil fellas look great. Could be a mascot for a travel site or something.

I'm looking forward to seeing these Artel models. I really like the designs they have been putting out.

Love the new blog. Your figures keep getting better!

I love those Gnome guys, so full of character!

Thanks fella's the Gnomes look pretty distinct even with a limited palette they work well! and I've got some nice Ogre models on the desk now with heaps of skin! LOVIN' IT!

Hey guys i've been working on some Ogres for Whaley and i'm pretty much done with all the skin, I really enjoy the flesh painting and thought i's see how my normal skin method looked over different first washes, I went over a blue, flesh, red, yellow, green/brown, brown washes and worked it up from then! the final result isn't too different but I think it might add more subtle colours on more in depth models. so far I'm pretty pleased with them and think the models will pop once the extra details get filled in.

So much skin! Did you find that any of the colors worked better or worse then expected?

Definitely like the top ones skin (with the Orange hair) so rich and smooth!

The guy at the top is the normal way with ogryn flesh but I prefer the darker agrax+ogryn wash it's almost greenish but works well, that's the skinny ogre with the horned helm.

Very interesting exercise Nerdy. They all look spectacular but it's really cool to see the subtle differences between them.

A little bit more, I got the base browns on everything else which will act as the base for browns, golds and bone colours. you can start to see the image of them as a whole now and they all look pretty cool! couple of pics are blurry but you can still see the difference in the feel with the change of washes.

I really like the variation in skin tone Nerdy. Makes them look quite natural.
