My reactions went something like this:

First model: "Excellent work, great use of a muted colour palette."

Second model: "What a strange diorama, I don't know what's going on, but those colours and textures really draw eye in."

Third model: "OHGODOHGODOHGOD WHAT THE HELL IS THAT WHY DOES SUCH A THING EXIST NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Why do you do this to me Manu? You lure me in with your beautiful brushwork then you scar my brain with the horrific nightmares that said brushwork brings to life! And I keep falling for it! I blame your painting skills, they're just too good, even when I'm looking at a model that's making my skin crawl I still can't stop admiring the skill behind it.

Sorry, the choice of pictures was random (almost - I posted what was finished from the smallest to biggest mini).

Kingdom Death minis are a little creepy, but I paint KD:M commissions constantly so I gained some invulnerability to the gruesome/nudity themes. I'll try to pay more attention to what I post in the future.

Totally safe and innocent minis: Lorgar and some KD:M WIP pics.

I was just kidding mate, your work is amazing and I really enjoy this thread - even the freaky KD stuff!

It's interesting to me that in your Lorgar, despite how ornate and detailed his armour is, it's the plain human face that draws the attention through it's realistic tones and shading. Very nice work!

New stuff, nothing creepy - another Slenderman and some D&D characters:

The work in here is fantastic. You've given me a skill-level to aspire to (another to my growing list of inspiring painters ).

Thanks

The zebraskin cloak looks great and is a very thematic touch!

I couple of not so new minis:

Amazing work as always!

Damn, love the matte gradient style!

Are you not entertained!?

Lion God, KD:M

This one could be a little disturbing (KD:M in all its glory) so I cropped him a little. Even if the miniature is not everyone's taste, hope you like the quality of the work.

More amazing nightmare fuel! Incredible work as always! Why is it that one of the most realistic and lifelike human faces I've ever seen on a miniature is attached to a body that is very much not-human?

Time to refill the thread.

Sunstalker and another Gorm (KD:M):

Fantastic work!

All are awesome but my favourites are Cain and Jurgen.

Something new after long break.

Fantastic! I love the eyes!

Gorgeous work as ever!

Thanks for sharing

Malifaux, Crossroad Seven

Very cool

Another Malifaux mini, Shadow Effigy with some extra bits glued to the back.

New mini:

Cool, love the cloth texture and suble OSL.

Just WOW!!!
Amazing smooth colours.. Just awesome stuff!

Thanks for comments
Update of the thread:

Wonderful work! Does the band have a name? I like how the lead singer has a built-in chorus...

The lion and the shark mutant, both on page 4.. where are they from?

That Lorgar for all the great work on the model itself, it is the stonework on the base that is blowing me away.
Absolutely amazing.

That is some gross gak. Its great!

Your work is outstanding. So much awesomeness in one thread.
