Truly inspiring!

I agree, I like this skin tone so much better than the grey ogres. And real metallics that are beautiful. Wish you would tell us how you painted them. :flip:

Well deserved!!

red-blonde? I know we try and copy the real thing, but this is tough.

Could it be similar to strawberry blonde?

You might try doing blonde and the washing it with a thinned down orange-yellow...

Nice job. I like the use of the tabards. Really gives it character.

OK, I\'ll say it! I like some of GW\'s stuff a lot.

The first six auctions are closed and have totaled up to $624.27. What an awesome start to the project. If this is an indicator to how all of the auctions are going to go, we may have an incredible...

Kev, Voted and commented. I think this should do great in the auctions.

Well, isn\'t this a farce. I went by the Memphis World of Battle to get my copy (made a a special trip even though I\'ll be there tomorrow), and it seems that the main distribution point for...

Didn\'t mean to create more work for you Tracy. You are already doing enough. Don\'t you ever sleep? I hope it helps the auctions.


As for my next piece, I finished basing the Waywatcher last...

Well, here I am hawking votes again. I posted my mage for the project but the voting is going slow. With the number of figures out there now, it\'s hard to have it come up very often.
...

Maybe my brain made it up, but I thought we were going to be able to use the feature auctions for the project. Is this something we can check on?

We could always set up an id for Works of Heart...

Well, now I\'m going to have to go and pick up my copy tomorrow.

If this is how the article actually reads, I\'ll be upset. I worked hard to get my silver this year and don\'t need someone...

Magnificient Egos is probably my favorite at the moment. Right up until the time that Gael starts selling his own line.

I want that new ninja they have on their greens page.

Vlad, I like them both. The red is my favorite, but I like that you did the reflection of the flames under the other cloak. I don\'t think the main color of the cloak stands out enough in this...

Ok, since Red threatened to use my picture from Chicago GD for the yearbook, I figured I had no choice but to dig something up where I look at least halfway human.

Weel, at this rate it looks like our relief efforts for one hurricane may become a project for two. Rita has just been upgraded to Category 5. This means winds over 165 MPH. If we\'re lucky it will...

Tracy,
Checked it out and it looks good. Thanks for the kind words.

The link from the picture on Kevin\'s bases is actually leading to the directory instead of the pic. By the way Kevin, they...

Actually, it\'s the light behind you that is causing your picture to look that way. Block the light from the window and it should work fine.


As for me, I am forced to finally search for pics to...

I\'ve never even tried to sign a mini. Can\'t even think of where I should have put it. But, since the first one is already in Tracy\'s hands, I\'ll just have to figure that out the next time.

Yeah, but I would take your \"retarded monkey painting\" any day.

I agree with the others.

One thing that might help is using a midrange wash to smooth the transitions for your highlights.

Your Theoden and Gamling are my favorites. Great work on the armor.
...

Nice pics, I\'m jealous.

You do realize those pictures will make her want you to take her there too. Better start planning that big trip.

@Cukier - this looks great! Very impressive style on the wardancer.

@Kev - I really like the armor, wish you would tell me how you did it.

@Eric - as usual, you make me want to go hide in the...

Have to say it....my metallics suck.....no matter how much I try to paint highlights, it looks like I just slapped a coat of mettalic paint on it and went on to the next thing.

I will stick to...

Oh man, that\'s great!

You are so toast when she sees that!!!

Another option that may help....

I\'ll post this here and on the other thread as well.

The only issue with placing this under her mom\'s nonprofit is that it would then be listed as the charity that will receive the donations, instead of the charity that we want it to go to in the end.

Ok, just got off the phone with Tracy. She is really worried because this could turn out to be a large amount for seller fees. I have a couple of ideas for how this could be done.

The good thing...
