Hello guys we are a brand new Canadian studio.

We will post some of our finished work here, but all of our work is located at our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Basement-Collective-Studio/1480928835472367

We are currently open for new commissions.

We would love some C&C on our work.

Thanks!

Cluthulu rocks man

Some of this stuff, like the DE court and the C'Tan, is really nice and a testament to the skill of the painter. Other things, like that Wave Serpent, really need some reconsideration on the evenness of the paint application and the neatness of the lining/edge highlighting. It's like two completely different worlds

Some excellent, some average. As the previous poster mentioned, the examples are quite inconsistent.

Looks good,especially the plague drones.
One little thing though is the Staff of Light broke off from the Necron Overlord

They look really good, the Dark Eldar HQ section certainly looked quite unique!

Thanks guys, I agree the line work could use some tightening up, and there could be better wash application.

Yeah, it is a studio army, so we will find the tip some where. Thanks!

I had a second look from my computer (was on my phone previously), aside from the wave serpent and some too thick edging, these are great paint jobs.

by looking at the models I think there is 3 of you. I see 3 different styles of painting.

We actually currently only have 1 painter. I run the studio and assemble. We would love to get more painters eventually but right now we just wanna get off the ground.

As for the lining on the wave serpent, the Client requested thicker lining, we are able to do thin highlights. I do agree it could of been a bit more consistent though.

We are currently working on a premium level blood angel army. The test models are almost finished. I will post them when they are.

Cool conversion on the bloodletter!

Here is some more finished work. A Imperial knight painted in blood angels scheme. And an eldar titan.






We currently have some commission spots open, send us a pm or visit us on our facebook page for constant updates.

Do you guys offer different levels of painting? Or are all of the above painted to the same "level"

We offer different levels. Basic, standard (the level you see above), and premium.

I don't wanna come across like a d1ck. But that edge highlighting is really rough. Thin is the key brotha. Those lines are waaaaay too thick.

Thanks for the comments, we are working on getting the edge highlighting thinner

i would agree with this, but i think this is one of the instances were it can be tough to show off commission work, it sounds like the client wanted thicker highlights and given that they are showing off the model I can only assume that the client was happy with the outcome

The client was indeed happy with it.

really thats all the matters, i understand the importance for commission painters to get there work out there so people can see examples but at the same time its important for people to remember that while I might not like the paint job, someone was happy enough to pay for it. All rather subjective in the end

Thanks for the thoughts, although we do want to work on the highlighting. At our premium level our highlighting is thin, depending on what the client wants of course. We are currently working on a premium level blood angels army, test models were finished and a unit of terminators are on the way.
