I'm back with Eden "in game" photos.
I had a very interesting game with a good friend, and posted a battle report on my blog. Once again, it's written in french, but a) you don't need to read french to watch the photos and b) that's another good occasion to try the included translator.

The report is here : http://code660066.blogspot.fr/2015/08/eden-partie-jokers-vs-matriarcat.html


But I'll show you some photos here :





 
 

Lovely work as usual Minus - gotta say though, your wrecked vehicles are top kahunna - awesome stuff. I say that calls for a wee tutorial

Hi Januine !
Do you mean a tutorial on how to make those wrecks ? Or how to paint them ?



Btw, I'd like to ask people in here a question.
I'm considering the idea of painting some models for others. Not intending to make this as a full time job, but just a side activity to make a little money with something I like. I'd rather paint single models, as heroes, or skirmish games warbands, because there are already tons of army painters that are cheaper as I would ever be. Plus I feel like I'd do a better job on paintings that I appreciate, and I like individual models better than blobs of 90 zombies/soldiers/goblins.
I'd like an objective feedback on my skill. Do you think someone could be interested ? Would people be afraid to buy from another country ? And what do you think would be a fair price for those commissions ?
Be honest, it's just an idea for the moment and I can't decide if it's a good one or a bad one, so any comment is welcome.

Both Minus! And as to you doing commisions.....I say go for it. The figures I've seen of yours here are top notch. I'm sure there'd be a market for a Minus original. Pricing and such - no idea at all!!

I say go for it minus. Your painting skills are there for sure. I could even be your first customer!

I'll try to make a tutorial the next time I make a car wreck, then. ^^
I've already made one regarding the painting part, but in french. You can see it there : http://code660066.blogspot.fr/2015/06/tutoriel-le-weathering-1.html
Is it what you're looking for Januine ? I can translate it in "almost english" if this helps.


Thanks for your answers regarding comissions. Only 2 messages so far, but really encouraging ones, so I'm seriously considering this now.
Gits, can I PM you to chat a little bit about it ?


Ok, and for teasers, I'm currently painting a Yeti from the game Fury : Outburst control.
It's a challenge through a french forum, several friends have a model to paint. And for some reason, the first posted Yeti was blue... the next one was green. Then we started joking about this, saying they are like the Power Rangers and we should paint one of each colour.




... and I decided to paint mine red...

A Yeti... red.
We'll see what I come up with in the end.

As to you painting on commission, you absolutely have the ability and a quite unique style, I think you would be a success.

Again I am in no position to advise on prices etc.

Yes of course!

Thanks all for your support.


As promised, I've got a pix of my newly painted Yeti for Fury Outburst Control.
You can see the full article (always in french, good way to learn a foreign language) here : http://code660066.blogspot.fr/2015/08/defi-warmania-peinture-dun-yeti-pour.html


And the photo :

wow - lovely work Minus - that guy is awesome; can feel the rage!!!! Cracking stuff

Thank you Januine.
As I started painting him in red (because of that Power Rangers / Bioman joke) I had no idea what I could do with that.
In the end it looks a little bit like some japanese demon I think, and I like it.

Ok I'm back !
I've just painted my Warmachine starter. I wanted to paint it real quick, so I went for a colour scheme that is not subtle at all, with crappy painting technics.
I went for heavy corroded metallics, a fluo green for all the energy-things, and I love the result. It should look good on the table during the games.

Article here (in french as usual) : http://code660066.blogspot.fr/2015/09/warmachine-starter-convergence-de-cyriss.html

And the picture :

Wow - those mechs are awesome. Love the paint scheme. Where are they from?

Thanks !
That's Convergence of Cyriss robots, from Warmachine/Hordes. I'm not a great fan of the design of Warmachines robots, I tend to prefer Hordes, but the Convergence of Cyriss I really like them. They have an old-school sci-fi look wich really inspire me.

Hi all !
On my blog and on french boards people asked me for a zoom in in order to see the metallics texture.
I post it there too, maybe it might be interesting for you too.

Those are pretty amazing... how did you do them?

Colors and technics used ?

Yeppers. Want to steal your techniques.

No problem, I'll explain this in an upcoming post.

Today I had a bit time to paint while my (adorable) daughter was asleep, a bit this morning and a bit right now, so I've started a new model for Eden.
I definitely love this game. I'm currently painting a bear with aviator glasses.

Pix is crappy but well, that's a WIP shot.

Hey Minus, nice take on those Warmachine models.... You really made them stand out !!!

Eden looks interesting too... And I keep having FB "suggest" me to love their page aaaaaargh

Thanks Yggs !
Honestly, Eden is a great game. You should have a try, the rules are available as free download on their site. It's my favorite game at the moment.

I've been working a little bit more on Mishka, the bear, tonight.

sweet!!!

Thanks.
I've finished painting Mishka today. For the first time, I've painted NMM, I had never done this before because I prefer TMP.
But I wanted to match with the rest of my Jokers (that were painted by a friend) so I had a try.

More images on my blog : http://code660066.blogspot.fr/2015/09/eden-peinture-de-mishka.html

No one here wants to hug Mishka ?
He's so sad.


Ok, maybe you'll prefer a pretty lady wearing a corset ?
(really early WIP shot)

No way. I'm loving mishka. Makes me just wanna say 'rawr' but in a little voice. Seriously though - lovely job. The old lady is creeping me out o.O

 Januine wrote:

Why ?
She's pretty.
Well... she was... maybe... a long time ago.

This model is epic.

Thanks Januine.
It was my first attempt at painting MNM, honestly while I was painting him I was wondering what I was doing. I'm happy with the result, now I'm wondering what list I can build with him for an upcoming game. ^^

Mishka looks lovely Minus. The old woman is a bit of a flasher by the looks of it, I'd stay well clear of her lol

Teddy bear is cute. Looks great.

Old lady is creepy, reminds me of my mother. Scary.

Thanks mates. Mishka was really happy when I told him !

Hahaha.
Beware, she can move faster thant you'd expect.

Is it because of the haircut ?

Her dress really doesn't help either lol
