I clicked on the title expecting to see some strange army of Pokemon converted miniatures. I was both pleased and oddly a little disappointed to see I was wrong.

Striking Scorpions color scheme, baby.
Well, not the Grey, but the Green/yellow certainly is familiar.
I feel like the studio white scheme is extremely limiting
and looks washed out on screen, but is beautiful to see
in person.

I have a hobby lamp and a lightbox to control what light gets
to the miniature. The backdrop came with the portable studio
thing.

My second unit of Kriel Warriors. To distinguish them from

One of my favorite miniatures ever. I like it so much that I keep it on
display even as I change the miniatures around it on the Wall of Done. It's
painted miniature 161 for 2011, the owl mounted elf from CMON.

Thanks! Yeah, that's kind of how I get by. Can you imagine trying to
build up the colors on those feathers with just layering techniques?
163 is the Vanguard for Ashlynn and maybe Broadsides Bart.

Man I need to look into picking up some warjacks to convert into necrons. I am thinking they would make some pretty spiffy immortals.

Maybe. Light warjacks are on 40mm bases. I wonder if they'd be too big?

It might be a bit too big, but the immortals are supposed to dwarf a space marine, so you never know.

Pulsating Possessed Chaos Marine

My only criticism is that you should go over your washes with a thinned down paint to make stuff like the capes and armor look more crisp. Its easier to show than describe but here goes: Since shadows hit,for realism, paint after the washes and work your way into the crevices, then carefully wash the crevice with a brown/black or mix it with the color of the basecolor for more realistic blending, making sure the wash only stays in the recesses and doesnt escape back onto the cape. This can be frustrating at first, but well worth the effort. You should reference any pro paint job on the site, mine are good but no golden demons.l Other than that awesome job and keep it up! Also, dont afraid to matte varnish, I noticed some of your skin is probably shinier than you want it.

Thanks for the advice.
I do highlight after washes. I just don't have patience for the
blending you describe.
I don't like Matte Varnish. I use a satin to help me remember
which miniatures are completed.

The malifaux crew looks nice. I like the warm colors you selected for them, it gives nice contrast to the cold flesh tones.

I don't think so. People churn out army after army and they inspire me. I
remember back on ye olde dakka when Waaagh Gonads used to set aside
an entire 40k or fantasy army for his holiday and just post about finishing
it from start to finish.
And those airbrush guys. Wow. They can pump em' out.

Well, you have to see it through the eyes of someone who managed paint about 22 minis in 4 1/2 months while painting in a, for him, good pace
Anyway, great as ever.
