Hi folks, this was actually the Gamesday entry I had the most hope riding on. He did do fairly well for my "first time" - he was one of the 7 mini's that were on the table when they picked out 1, 2 and 3 place. But I think the base was "too much" and I don't think I'll do something like that again. He did seem to get lots of attention from the public browsers, which was kinda neat The flame idea has been done before by Matt Verzanni and Victoria Lamb - that's where I got the idea, to give credit where it belongs. I think if I had the guts to use lightsourcing on it, he would have done better - but Im still shy of that technique.

Hot damn! I have just spent 4 or 5 minutes going 9..10...9..10...9..10. Hell, it's a 10. Superb work. Best flamework I have seen so far. Brilliant job.

Excellent work, I have to agree with you on the base...too much. I would cut it down and make it more compact. Your focal point is your mini after all and the base steals that away. Excellent work on the flame and the whole marine. I love the cloak work and every detail is living...wow.

I gotta agree - the best flamer effect I've seen - ands I mean sculpting as well as painting. Wow, boy, it's almost hot!

Outstanding work on the marine, and that is undoubtedly the best flame effect I've seen on a mini... and then you go and spoil it by getting far too carried away with the base. Such a shame...

Stunning work, very inspirational. The funny thing is, I started working on something very similar for GD Germany about 2 weeks ago Once again great work.
