EDIT: turning this into a general infinity thread, now that I've started collecting, myself





So, did these as a commission, pretty happy with the results, so I thought I'd share. A few more details on my blog (http://spiralingcadaver.blogspot.com/2012/12/your-eyes-shine-just-like-mine-step.html)

Wow, very nice and creative effects on the blacks.

The blacks are stunning.

I like the glowing effects.

The high-sheen synthetic-material blacks are great, but the glow effects are even better.

The eyes on the... uh... Sophotect (curse these CB names!) are especially nice.

I think a non-white, less-bright, higher-contrast background (shopped in after photography maybe) would have shown these minis off to even greater effect.

(Did I use enough hyphens?)

These are really nice op, love the glow.

I'm genuinely torn - the stylized effects (purple glow, reflective black) are great, but it feels like a lot of the sculpted subtlety is lost. As a painting exercise it almost feels like a waste of the base models' quality (and believe me, the visual impact is strong enough to make saying even that difficult). As gaming miniatures to be viewed at arm's length, however, these are absolutely fantastic.

Are they perfect or do I want more out of them? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK, ANYMORE! Thanks, spiralingcadaver. You've set my critical eye spinning in a dizzying loop.

Great work on the glowing effects on such tiny eyes .

Thanks, all, for the comments!

I agree that I could have pushed the detail/subtlety for the minis more, but I think you got it right-- I was hired to do gaming minis, not display minis.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my own ALEPH, since I do agree that Infinity has some of the most subtle details out there. However, I'm already repeating the color scheme on my own Malifaux Kirai crew, since those models are notably less detail-oriented than Infinity's line. In short, I'm happy with the paint job, but agree that it might not have fit best with Infinity's details.

A bit of threadomancy, here...

Some Nomads, with notes

Love your stuff!

Thanks!

Starting my own collection finally.... (notes)

So, working on the other side of Icestorm (notes)

They look beautiful!

Great work.

Thanks! (Sorry for the communication dropout...)

Also, some fun action shots with Angry Mojo's terrain (tips, more pics, and a review):

Very nice!

I love the TO Camo effect you have made with the one mini there, looks extremely effective.

Thanks- yeah, that guy was a lot of fun to do... gonna' need to get a few more TO guys just because I liked doing him up. Also, a closer pic, since I guess I forgot to post him before...

A test for shasvastii... (notes)

Soo... it's been a long while, but getting back into Infinity (notes)

Fantastic work. These minis are nothing if not distinctive, really like the striking colour scheme!

Thanks! Yeah, i've liked playing with the broader, more gestural highlights.
