Hey,
My name is Eve and this is my story

From the beginning I was painting as a hobby for my husband and friends. It turned out that I'm doing this pretty good Now I am working as a commision painter. Thing that gives me the most satisfaction is painting freehands. You can see it in my photo gallery. I am able to paint almost anything. I am limited only by imagination and space on the model.





My first commercial work are Dire Avengers. I chose this unit because I love the Warhammer 40k fluff and it was a nice change from the Warmachine. I chose an unusual turquoise and green colors of this because it fits into my concept of Mymeara Craft World. I have to admit that I spent a lot of time and put all my heart to make them look just like I imagined.
Dire Avengers is part of a bigger project. I also plan to paint Wave Serpents, War Walkers, Jet Bikes. All vehicles and models will be linked by a common theme - Gorgon as a free hand. It was a great pleasure to paint it on both banners and I think that it looks really nice.




You will find more models on my FB: https://www.facebook.com/lucrezzia.belladonna/photos_albums
Feel free to contact me via e-mail: lucrezzia.belladonna@gmail.com if you have any questions about my work.

Wow you are very talented with a paint brush thats for sure. The freehand flowers on the first model are amazing.

Those Eldar... Need I say more?

Deep. That turquoise/dark green is plain lovely.

Dem Eldar........ Need I say more?

Amazing work! You really are talented.

Based on the freehand work in the first pic, please do a commission of a Freeblade Imperial Knight but based on this guy....

(It's so Fragging hard to find ANY Song of Ice and Fire artwork since that gakking series got fething released!)

That sounds like a nice challenge! We can discuss details via email and seal the deal

In the meantime...





Only the freehands are mine.

Some fresh gorgon freehands Another four jetbikes to go...

For some reason the pictures don't work for me, show up with that breakage sign.

Really.nice.free hand!!

I´ve never seen free hands like that. What size of brushes are you using?

Your free hand work is incredible.

1. Only last 2 don't work? :<
2. I use 00 brush made by small polish company. It is a lot smaller than citadel's fine detail.
3. The jetbikes are almost done. So in a couple of days I'll spam you with more freehands

Awesome love the freehand work! Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks to the divine intervention, the Jetbikes are finished.
Choose your favorite

Wow! Just..... Just wow!!
How do you do it? Learn I mean? Any advice?
I've never bought a command squad because i'd never be able to do the company banner :(

Can't choose a favourate as they are all jaw droppingly good!
I for one am in envy & awe of your talents, freehand is the one skill I'd love to have. But its just far beyond my skill level and I wouldn't know where to begin.

Keep the pics coming, they are truely a marvel to behold

Do you have the name of the company who make your brushes, I would be interesed to buy some of them.

Why's it always the monsters and demons that have the best boobs! lol

Nice work.

Ok... I just checked my brushes. I have two kinds. The first is 00 MAG – POL - cheap but not great quality. The second are Lineo (German company). Available on Internet. They are made of a weasel hair. They have a lot of types - I am using 3/0. I would definitely recommend them!

Hmm… I'm thinking about making a tutorial but I still feel too amateur I paint freehand on a white base. You can easily sketch on it and even use the eraser. It is good to think through in advance what you want to paint and make sketches on paper. You can also simply copy something from Internet etc.
I’ve noticed that boobs are always loved I just like to paint women, they are aesthetically pleasing. Besides, I also paint flowers, signs, skulls, various patterns. I could also paint an animal or a knight but as I have a free choice I always wring towards Slaanesh ^^.

Are you insane! Your not at all amateur! I for one would be most grateful for a tutorial to get me underway in the world of freehand. I often have many ideas for company banners and have a chapter banner sat undercoated and untouched because I'd like to do something epic on the back of the banner (the front is modelled so can just paint that up nice ) but don't know what and even if I did I've got no idea how to transfer that vision to model without it looking like one of my son's nursey paintings

@ Primarch :Ok. I've got a banner of Cygnar sword knights. What would you like to see on it? I could make a tutorial. Actually it is an open questien for all

Dunno really I've only really thought about company banners for my chapter (or legion ) and they are classified lol. What would be perfect would be a basic idea as to the process eg, basic mini painting is undercoat, basecoat, washes, drybrushing & vanishing. From this basis I've made and inproved my own style. But freehand just stumps me completely :(

:0 :O Awesome work once more!

For a tutorial, something that's basic, but not too simple would do.

Ahm ... I thought you come up with something concrete to paint. Something that will help you. I lack ideas for painting at the moment :<

I do mainly Space Wolves, so how about some celtic knotwork.

It would also be good for dwarves & elves in lord of the rings and fantasy too.

I would like to apologise for not creating the tutorial. I'm completely out of time at the moment because of some commisions (as you can see below).

First Protectorate of Menoth models. Tell me what you think about them. I'm very interested in opinions about the colour scheme

The banner with the flowers is lovely and I really like the red of the cloak, the pattern is great.

Don't worry about the tutorial, by the quality of these miniatures we can see why

Not Safe for Work Tag would of been nice.

Oh dear Odin in Vallhalla! Those bikes absolute gougoes to behold! Extremly well done and always nice to watch you post new work
