Very true

All the Rackham minis! ;)

10! I like it a lot, and I think it should have won something

I was just about to say that! :)

I like the mini. The sword annoys me a bit though. I prefer a sword to be free of stuff hanging on it.

Not a shabby one, that is :)

Seriously, that might be the best painted mini I have ever seen!

Well spoken

I have seen it too, and I was very schocked to see that a movie with so many famous actors sucked so badly!

I mean, it was horrible and a movie like that should never have a budget big enough to...

I was very surprised when you showed me how good the photos you had taken was. They surely do make the masterpiece justice this time.

The question right now is just when are they going to be made...

Sounds cool, but as tempting as it sounds ( :rolleyes: ) I do think I will skip this time.

Looks like a pretty ordinary christmas decoration to me :rolleyes:

Seriously, that was pretty amazing. I bet his electrical bill is very high.

*Itchy: That wallsketch you got there is truly disturbing!

I have my name from my very friendly cousin who introduced me to the hobby by giving me a shitload of minis!

He gave me the nickname Modo, which is a converted version of my real name: Morten. He...

Sounds really cool!

Congratulations for you silver, Albert :)

Sounds cool. But I don\'t like the fact that the competetion is based on a cmon score. Someone could just paint an 8,5 Natali and then cheat the rest of his way up to 9,1, or even 9,5...

Cheers -...

Is it only me who find it hard to decipher where Natalya is heading with her posts?

You didn\'t get me! ;)

I have gotten so used to them that I always turn down the sound if I am not sure about what it is.

If that is true I want to eat Johnny Depp.

Yeah I know. I have been a fervent user of the gradient tool in photoshop for some time now. But I have gotten tired of it. I think it makes the pic looks less trustworthy. If you take this pic for...

Thanks a lot for your help!

I have cancelled the order now as your ideas seems much better!

I was thinking: Is it possible to make a pic in photoshop that shows a gradation made with the...

I have been linked to a pretty good place on the internet where I can buy backgrounds: http://setshop.com/index.php?cPath=4_10_24

So why am I here asking then?

Well my problem is that I have...

I am not completely sure why she is called Lisa, but I can assure you that it has nothing to do with \'The Simpsons\' and her having a lot of yellow/brown colors ;)

A new great mini from Jakob Nielsen, more thoughts about it is right Here

I felt very inspired when I did this...

I wouldn\'t touch one myself, but some reason I actually like them.

Hi!

I live in Odense, Denmark

Hey!! That is the name of my camera too :)

I don\'t know why there is a white halo around the white, but I can suggest you to use a background, like a paper or something, and then take 20 pictures...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/Modo-/GoldenEowyn2.jpg

I made Eowyn for the UK GD 05. It made the final cut, but I failed to place. It didn\'t bother me at all since it was such a truly a...

I agree they shouldn\'t be attacking nmm.

I am quite surprised, that they would feautere an article like that and I am particulary surprised that it feautered in a US White Dwarf: In US many of...

Cool! I love Lost! :flip:

lol

Yep, I am coming too! :bouncy:

And I would most glad to meet all the people on that list!

I know what this is about.

Exterminator\'s sculpted entry for UK GD 05 has been ruined because of an old spray of inferior quality. Obviously he is quite pissed about it.

The cloak is very nice and smooth! The only suggestion I can give you right now is to add some more highlights to the cloak at the top of his arms. By doing that you will create more balance.

:bouncy:

You!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/Modo-/You2.jpg

There we go! Finally a picture of me!

Dang, that is a lot of minis in a short periode of time! May I ask how many hours you spent painting on a standard day?

I really really really want this one!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/Modo-/CRW_9647_RT8.jpg

And I really really want this one too!...

Just amazing, Joe! I am very amazed by the cloak and I am really looking forward to see that particular part of the model in real life!

Wow, that is really cool! I didn\'t know miniatures was so popular among the famous people!

Fizl* You have made me kinda curious :D
In what way are you famous may I ask?

Yep, famous to the general public! ;)

I was inspired to do this thread after reading another thread that is circulating for the moment.

So have any of you heard of a famous person who collects miniatures? :)

I actually believe that he hasn\'t voted on the mini himself nor made any of his friends vote on the mini.

I will admit that I have voted quite a few 10s on the mini because I find it to be...

I\'ll be there! Can\'t wait! :D

Great mini! The nmm is fantastic!

Seems like Natalya should watch out or else she isn\'t going to be the best female painter in russia for much longer ;)

Btw, great to see you have finally got...

You are right about that it has to be in the right order in order to make it work.
But I think you misunderstood one thing, you are only able to make brown tones, not brown colors.

Now, what...

Actually you are able to make some brown tones with only black and white. You just have to place the different tones in the right order.

Rumours has it that he only used black and white and no...

Good work there! :)

I just looked at your gallery and I think you are clearly able to get into the 100s. You know it is not that difficult if you really want it.

Now getting into the top 50...

Thanks ;)

You know the favourite list all the subscribers have?

My idea is to have a favourite painters list too. With maybe only 5 slots.

I HAVE AN IDEA!

I was thinking about a list of favourite painters for an expansion of the current favorite list, which the subscribers benefit from.

Then you could be able to add your favourite...

Hehe, why should he do that? Most of us, if not almost all of us danes master the english language very well :)

The photos are not that good as pointed out, but I really like the minis!

Especially your Warcaster! It Looks really smooth and delicius!

Sorry to hear about what happened to the white. I have...

Now I after having recieved a lot of crtitiques on the black filigree I changed it to the gold/copper - something, instead.

Here it is:

Repainted

Thanks for the comments here!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/Modo-/GalhyanCynwllHeliast-final.jpg

Here\'s a new from me!

He took me about a month to do. I must say, I really enjoyed painting him!

The cloak and...

For me it doesn\'t make any change if I am happy or if I am angry.

I just paint the minis in the style I want to try. Nothing else.

A tooth with eyes. Don\'t be stupid now ;)

Oh no.....that can\'t be serious, or ???

That is a deal!

Very nice stuff you have there :)

Hehe. Funny one Crispy! :D

YES! Very good news!

I think I can live with the 24 hours break for this...

Super! Glad to see you back :)

Oh no! I just made 3 kitten die! :|~

I hate myself now lol

Really cool! I love the base!

But I think you should had made some more different tones on him - like making the wings dark blue or something.

Regardles, really cool job! And that kind of base...

Pulp Fiction! :D

Yeah. It quite amazing that you have to have a 9,4 mini just to get on the Top last 7 days this week. Makes you think about having a top 20 or top 15 sometimes.

Thanks for the list! I had totally...

Yes. Good poll!

But I would just like to point out that there is nothing wrong with using more than a month on a mini.

The reason why a mini would take you more than a month could, ofcourse,...

Nice colorscheme and nice colors too - you have also highlighted them very well.

But it seems like you should thin your paint some more and do some better blends.
Throwing that aside you have...

I think it can be quite refreshing those times when Cmon is down. It sorta breaks up with the bad habbits.

But if you have just posted a new mini then it can be very very frustrating.

Very cool job! I like it a lot.

I can completely follow you on your rant about GW casts. I have experienced tons of problems with them too. And it seems that it sometimes can take a quarter of the...

Very amazing! I like it a lot!

I think you really have made the colors work well together, and the nmm just blowed me away!
I gotta say, you have an eye for making it look fantastic and...

Very good. I like the blade on Zeiren a lot.

The color scheme is also very good!

Woah!

No!

Very nice work!

I just love the idea that you are painting these old GW sculpts. And the fact that it is you, and with your style makes it perfect all together! :)

Hehe. Funny guy!

*Corvus giving him 1\'s will not help at all. The antisniper system will just break in and remove them again.

So you have to give him 6 -7\'s if you want to bring down his...

Wow! Quite amazing!

Well he doesn\'t top a guy I once saw who managed to write 34, or something, readable words onto a single little rice.
And I think he only used magnifier glasses when he did...

I would like to play it above everything else! Just the thought of slipping into another world! Ah....

But, I need to paint, I need to attend school, I need to have a life, and I am sure of that...

I have that mini too! Really cool model btw.

I was thinking, is there anyone who knows how many there were made of him?

Very very nice work! I especially like the freehand and the gold!

The sqaud together looks super too!

Thanks for the comment guys!

Eric* I fully agree about your critiques, thanks :)

I have made the multishot pic now:

Hi! Here is a little new one from me:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/Modo-/Psyker.jpg

I am really satisfied about the painting. The mood is much more dark than I ussualy I do, and I...

I always vote with the scores on \'hidden\'. I give the minis exactly what I think they should have, so for me it really doesn\'t matter if the mini has an avarage of 6,8 and I think it is a 5.
...

I agree with that poupée is the best painter we have right now! His color schemes, ideas, the painting and sculpting are all just too perfect!

I can\'t say it enough: The fact that he got 9,8 with...

Weird sculpt indeed.

*Duende: Hehe! The concept art just made me even more counfused about this mini! I really find it difficult to see what his tail-like thing is supposed to be.

Really good question I think!

I often get neckache and backache when I paint. I ussually train and do some small excersises to prevent damage, but it doesn\'t really seem to help a lot. This is...

Wow.... That was certainly a lot! I don\'t think I ever would be able to have so many posts as you. Congratulation for being a 4* freak ;)

Edit: To who ever read this, could you please do me a...

I will make myself able to buy anything that I needed in the future! Right now I wouldn\' mind being able to buy all the paints and brushes that I needed. I also think it would be a good thing to...

BMW

If I should choose a car it would definately be a BMW! My father once had one and not only did it look very good, it was also very pleasent to be a passenger in.

I can\'t tell you how good...

I just loved everything in Star Wars 1 - 2, so it is obvious that I am going to see the 3rd too!


I have to ask any possibly Star Wars fan out there some questions about Yoda:

First question:...

I had seen that coming....

Congratulations! :D

I do not know you very well, but a small congratulate from me should be in the right place :)

Happy Birthday! :flip:

Thanks guys! I appreciate you took the time to write long replies!

*EricJ yeah I know it is quite an ambition wanting to paint like Cyril, but aim high and you will go high! ;)

Happy easter! :bouncy:

Hi! I Had quite fun making this little diorama. Or I don\'t know if you could call it a diorama, maybe something...

Good mini and congrats with the win! :)

Yeah he is really angry! Great job, but I would like to see some more shading around the eyebrows to help with making him look even angrier. Right now it seems that his eyebrows are missing something...

Wow! Those models are weird :D

Superb job on the nmm and the overall painting!

Congrats with the win!

This is a great mini and I really like it. I also like the fact that you won with a bone giant - I don\'t think I have seen that before - Great job! :)

Wow! I really love the skintone you have made! I think it is perfect, soft and realistic!

Now, if I were to critisize one thing it would be the place where the pants and his belly meets. It is...

Wow! That is fantastic Astonia! I am really happy on your account!

Funny enough I have always thought that you would be the perfect Eavy metal painter, and look what happens!
...

superb work!
Your minis are always really good painted and the amount of minis you toss out every month still amazes me! I only gave you a 9 for two reasons. 1: I don\'t like the sculpt, that is...

As the others said: Great work as ussual!

Actually it is quite fantastic!

Now I must be a pain in the arse and ask you if you are willing to make a pic of only the front and back?
I admire...

Haha! That serves Mcdonalds right for making that crap food!

It seems that Marines often are the targets for out-of-the-box ideas. Look at this FX: Fairy Marine

Klute: Thanks for showing the...

Those are some ok sculpts. I will never consider painting them myself, but I like what you have done with them.

Quite frankly I did find those 3 sculpts boring, and I wasn\'t impressed by the...

[b]SHOCK![b]


While I was browsing some different fun minis today, I saw that the chaos warrior had an avarage of 8,5 with 51 votes!

Seriously there must have happened something very wrong!...

You have done a really good job sculpting this. I can only admire and envy this, because I am not capable of sculpting anything myself! So I can only say: Fantastic! :)

Personally I would might be...

Vincent, I will not try to sound like a fanboy, but I must admit: Everytime I see you post something serious and well thought you inspire me to do something good and great, not only in the mini world...

I have tried something similar 6 months ago, when I painted some blue. It just kept falling off if I just gave it the lightest touch.

I discovered later that my problem were that I had forgot to...

I agree so much with you Eric! I have the exact same theory about judging minis!

I knew that I had painted the gold on the shoulderpad really good, so I wasn\'t afraid of trying something...

Wow! You have done it again! My respect for you increase everytime you post something spectacular as this!

Damn I like this one! :D

Personally I wouldn\'t even consider selling any of my minis right now. But when I paint a lot faster and when I am well known here on cmon. I might start to sell my minis, but not before.

I am very impressed by the speed you turn out wonderful minis! I am also impressed by the small dioramas you often make. IMO it is a very nice thing to have one like you on cmon :)

I don\'t know really why this model is different from some of the other EC\'s. Maybe there was just made a new better version (I definately think it is better)

To answer some of the questions: I...

A misunderstanding here. Now I think it is because that Calavera wasn\'t very specific when he started this topic. The idea was NOT that they should post on the forums, but that they...

well, here I am! Never post here, so I thought I would make Calavera make the post for me. To answer Margo\'s question: I can name 2 slayer sword winners I haven\'t seen here on Cmon. The 2 person...

He said that he didn\'t stand a chance. I am so glad that he was wrong.
