Oh man are the skin tones good on her Minus... it's like looking at a photograph.

I love reading your comments guys. It's so motivating !


This evening, Candice looks like this :




She's still not finished, of course. ^^

Exquisite.

There's a whole sucker-punch vibe there I'm digging big time.

Done !

Just fantastic!! (Applause)

Really like the dark blue dress vs the light skin.

Thanks Gits !

Oh my goodness that's beautiful, top of the class. If you don't enter the painting competition it'll be criminal!

Btw. Steve hasn't replied yet, do you know if he got my email?

The dress looks real man.
Outstanding job.

@ Casey : I didn't. ^^
I'm an army painter, not a brush godlike. I saw the WIP version by Skiv (the guy who sculpted her) and mine is way faaaar from his painting level.
I'm still happy with my version, though. ^^

@ SelvaggioSaggy : thanks !


I just finished painting Malekith. Next I'll paint his dragon you can partially see on the left.

That's so pretty it makes my face hurt.

Made me laugh !

Oh god poor guy has been impaled

cant unseen

Well! This is quite the battle, and quite the models. I like all of them as well as the excellent terrain.

That looks... *really* uncomfortable...

Hahaha.
Now you all know why he hates everybody that much.

Well...
Let's see what's next.




A dragon... few more ratmen for my Mordheim skaven gang, and something totally new for me : Askaris for Eden.

Oooooh! Aaaaah!

How wonderful! Those figures in the front are really cool.

Wow, what a blog you have here Minus, so man great pieces. Zombies are fantastic and the BFG is eye popping - love the bases on these... My favourite at the moment though is your female commissar. Beautiful sculpt with a top notch paint job that complements it. Keep up the good work

They are from the "Eden" range. It's a skirmish game in a post apocalyptic world.
I had an initiation game with a friend few weeks ago and we really enjoeyed it. Plus the models are great so we decided to start playing Eden.

Thank you Ruglud !
The female Comissar was sculpted by Steve Party (keep this name in mind, you could hear about him sooner or later ) and is available on eurobitz.com. He also sculpted Candice.



I have some new candies for your eyes !
I just finished painting my ratmen for Mordheim. The new warriors :



And the (now) full band :




Enjoy !
Next : the dragon and the Askari warriors for Eden.

All of it! I'm particularly interested in those Eden miniatures though. I'm always happy to see something new and characterful and they certainly fit the bill.

The Skaven are brilliant, a great job as always!

P.S. Paid Steve for a couple of copies of Candice, can't wait to get a hold of them!

Very dynamic, love them!

I'm currently making some trials on pices of paper to try to find appropriate colors associations. I know I want the clothes to be purple (who said "AGAIN" ? ) and make some searches for the other textures, and particularly the skin tone. I don't know if I go with normal skin tone and variations only on the mutated bodyparts, or if I use less common colors like a palid green... or maybe I'll use completely crazy colors like on my second Zombicide abomination.
If anyone has ideas, this could help !

Nice.

Thanks Gits. I'm happy with the way the rust turned out. Quite funny since it was the easiest thing to paint on them.


I have one general question : it's not the first time this happens to me, I have people coming to my dakka gallery and giving me zero notes and this drops the average note drastically. I noticed this since I have models whose notes decrease by 2 points with a single vote... I don't post on dakka for the notes (I paint for my pleasure ^^ ), I post here to share and discuss, so I don't really care about the notes themselves (I know what my painting level is) but I'd like to know if this is something common.
Can't believe people have nothing else to do than dropping our notes...

Happens to all of us. It's how pathetic people get their jollies I guess.

I don't have any suggestions on the paint scheme. Just do what you do so well!


That sucks that people are doing that. There is supposed to be some sort of system to block that from happening too severely but Lego might have to give it a shunt to get it working again. Sadly the world and therefore the internet is full of hateful wastes of space. Don't let it bug you too much though, just remember how sad and pathetic their lives must be if that's what they do for kicks.


Now get some paint on those cool minis!

Is this people just flicking through the photos and not voting at all just looking, or is it people voting deliberately low?

It would have to be deliberately low voting with malicious intent. As I say, there is so supposed to be a block against the odd very different vote so one really low vote should get discounted but if multiple people do it it'll probably start to have an effect. Not voting has no effect on the gallery unless you hit the N/A vote which is still technically a vote. That said, voting is good for the health of the gallery, as is being thorough when you upload images.

Back on topic though...

Okay, so that's not just me. ^^
Don't worry, I don't bother that much about those notes. As I said I paint first of all for ME. I know what my painting is worth. ^^


I have just started putting colors splashes on my first Askari warrior (for Eden). I think I love these models already. They seem to be a real pleasure to paint. I'm eagger to paint them all !
First I have to finish the first mini to validate my color scheme.


I'll post WIP pictures later.
