So much cool stuff going on. Congrats to you and BAM getting recognized in White Dwarf.

I have been gone too long, but luckily when I come back I see a bunch of BAM awesomeness. It is appropriate that I just got talked into playing in a Blood Bowl league a few weeks ago. First time I...

Nice diorama, but I really like the minotaur. Nice base and metals. .

Yup, that metallic red looks nice. Really liking your take on these dino riders.

Great work on the colossal squig. The colors look great on him. It does seem the claws are a little too clean though. I wouldn’t change it, but something to think about in the future.

Btw, I love...

That Ogre diorama is butt kicking. And congrats on the nice print. I like my resin printer, but have not had time to mess with it for a while.

Ditto. This looks awesome. You can’t tell it is a paper scratch built with primer on it.

Didn’t we see that video at Crystal Brush a few years ago? :doh:

Practice good hygiene guys and avoid being one of the bat shit crazy people hoarding resources and spreading panic (that would be better if they shut down facebook). It had started calming dow, but...

The aged look you have achieved on the bust is top notch work.

Definitely my favorite of yours. Your simple paint job is very appropriate and gives it a comic vibe.

Voted. Love this cold and bloody vignette. BAM at his best.

Looking great Toad. Based on the awesome highlights on the nose and cheeks, the top of the head doesn’t seem to have enough highlight. I also like BAM’s liver spot idea. Btw, the granny vignette is...

Damn Andy you are knocking these subtle skin variations out of the park. The elephant head and beast man bust are simply beautiful works of art.

Hope you and yours are staying safe across the...

Nice start on the squig. I really like Boingrot and the texture on the face of the troll is sweet!

Congrats on Drogar and the Conan vignette. Both are gorgeous jobs. Nice start on the death dealer. Such an iconic figure will look great with your style.

BAM. Bummed to not catch these guys at Adepticon as I was needing a break from the chaos of work. Anyways, I am really loving the new guys. Especially that weird fish/bull headed thing.

I am sure...

Can’t help with the gold, but had to say the gobbo’s candy cane gun makes me smile.

Like the skin tones, but they are screaming zombie skin to me at the moment instead of Nurgle.

Very cool “unintentional” diorama.

Voted. Love the gritty and dynamic feel of the vignette.

WOW! All very cool. The base is really cool and the little guy is awesome.

But,but,but, that sheep rider is a work of beauty. All the free hand, bird poop, and to me the extremely realistic work...

[QUOTE=Kallfa;889456]This flying moon is a great idea ! And your loonshrine already have a nightmarish look. You make me want to create mine later :D.[/QUOTE I agree. A very haunting construct.

Nice. Your paint wear and damage is very well done.

Some awesome work Sik. Your freehand is outstanding and I love the reds on this most recent mini.

Beautiful work as usual. A real joy to see your micro freehand and metallics.

Welcome to the forum. The cloak is really looking nice.

As for the air brush, if the clogging is mostly when you use the apple barrel point it may be because they use a larger pigment.

I love your style Kalifa. Lots of vibrant colors, but applied to achieve a very muted overall look. Really pleasing to look at, especially combined with the attention to detail of the bases.

And...

Nice work on both of these. You seemed to have leveled up in your skill since I have been off the forums the past three months.

The stylized painting on the bust is neat and the snow globe will be cool. I thought they just used glitter for the snow, so I may be learning something here.

And congrats on the new toy ::):

Going well. Trying to get caught up on everyone’s threads as I am daddy daycare this week. Actually A nice change from the crazy work commitments I have been on the past six months.

Lovely work on the angry Smurf Andy. You’r not going to put an ultramarine tattoo on his arm and spoil it are you?

Great productivity Graishak. I am really liking your undead from a few pages back.

Good start on the tavern Toad. I also like where you are going with the Frankie monster.

Long time no comment (20+ pages worth!!). These barbarians are a work of art. Great progress BAM. I got a room for Adepticon, so can't wait to see these in person.

And best wishes to your...

Love the stage curtain. The final adjustments were a big improvement.

congrats on finishing the super hero diorama.

He turned out pretty cool

Very cool. Love the sepulchral guard and the bone on the chariot looks great.

Love the power generator and the tyranid looks pretty cool.

Welcome to the forum. The faceless horror is great mini to practice eyes on. Also donkt worry about the mold lines on the small Bones minis as they are a real pain in the rear to remove. Something to...

Wow. You achieved some really eerie beauty with this one. Congrats.

This is awesome Hairster. Love the texture on the “hair” and the building reflections are super cool.

Yeah, more bigature goodness from Cassar! Awesome work.

I am really liking what you are doing with this one Andy. Very nice textures.

Nice work as usual.

Very effective color transitions on a horrific looking creature.

The skaven is cool and the other guy is rather disgusting.

Welcome to the wip forum. Your work is solid and I think you have leveled up above the novice level. :). As Ekipage alluded to, you will hear a lot of advice on improvement and one of those is to...

This definately looks like it will be a fun diversion.

These guys look BAM good ;)

The head on that first guy is eerie and well executed.

You have got this. It is definitely already developing some character.

Love all the little color nuances you work into the paint-the purple in the elbows, the blue in the shadows of the red, etc...

That is the truth.

Voted.

The giant turned out great.

Those blades look great.

Lol....this made my day and I am glad you found it.

Good to seethe wise cautious approach to applying resin.

The diorama is looking great...but I think Bob Ross would say that tree need a Happy Friend! Lol.

Your sculpting just keeps getting better and better.

I will echo the sentiment...your ‘nid is COOL! Lovin’ the skin pattern and it is really complimented by the base.

Congrats on the competition. It really is a nice piece.

Great progress on the hobbit.

For the lighting put some parchment paper around the light and see if that diffuses it better for pictures.

The squig cave diorama looks great. Can’t wait to see more progress on the next piece.

Pretty cool. Welcome to the wips.

ROFL! :D Best snarky comment of the day.

The 5 o’clock shadow on the face looks good.

Awesome tanks BAM!



Agreed. Looking at these and after recently playing the CMON game Hate, I would love to see what you could do with the awesome barbarian minis from that game.

That looks like the most energetic skeleton I have seen. Love the tree, especially the skull in the trunk.

Awesome as usual Bailey.

It was a highlight of my hobbying to see some of your work up close in the Adepticon painting class you taught.

I concur. That yellow is brilliantly bright.

Awesome progress BAM.

Me thinks Hulk has been skipping leg day...

Excellent work on the Raptor’s weathering. It is looking very realistic.

It is impressive how you are not afraid to chop up something you have spent...

Beautiful. The attention to detail on the base is impressive so far.

Welcome to the forums. You’re starting point has created some wonderful gaming minis. If you just stick at this level, you and your son will have a blast gaming with some of the nicest painted armies...

Again, this is so COOOOOL!

I can’t wait to see what you do with that Grenadier Goblin War Giant. I always dreamed of getting all those large Grenadier creatures growing up.

The terrain is awesome. I started watching the Terrain Tutors channel for weathering zombie apocalypse buildings and also backed his KS book. It is nice to see someone applying his advice.

The...

The bird is coming together nicely as usual for your work.

Beautiful work on the sniper. Lovely looking face.

The base is looking great. And nice articles you are getting on your website.

They are still a joy to look at.

Dang, these new guys are classic BAM....AWESOME!

Damn, you are turning into a mad genius with this cool sculpting.

GreAt progress on the little woman.

Cool camo pattern.

Welcome to the wips. As theothershave said you areoff to a good start.

That king is wickedly awesome. I would love to see what you do under the UV, but even in the pictures the effect is really cool.

Nice horde you have going and the dashboard looks 100% better than the original.

Another beautiful work of art Andy. The few touches of red really give an awesome pop of interest to the piece.

These latest guys are all pretty cool, but I love the colors on the dogs coat.

Cerberus is looking pretty cool. I like that the glow is subdued, which makes it look more natural.

Wow wow wow


Ditto. Your sculpting just keeps getting more creative. Awesome work to look at.

Wow. I think’ this group is some of your best.

Very cool Andy.

I think the choice of tmm was wise as the head is so smoothly blended that nmm armor would suggest that the head is approaching nmm chrome.

The cloth is AWESOME! Both the texture and the overall pattern.

That is a wicked cool pattern.

it is working now. And this should be the correct link. http://www.coolminiornot.com/438161?browseid=7612709

Like most of us, you need to keep working on eyes. Just using an off white instead of...

You automatically vote when you upload and 6 is the default. Off to vote now.

edit: looks like it isn’t live yet and the link just goes to her picture and not a voting page. If this is your first...

Nice. The metals are really nice and subdued.

Lol...4 dozen years old...That means I can say I am two and a half score old and approaching 4 baker’s dozens years old. I love it.

This gnome looks pretty cool btw.

lol

BAM it all these are a cool squad!

Nice work on these realistically proportioned 28mm minis. They are more challenging that the heroically scaled minis from GW and Reaper.

Now that is what I call a double chin! Oddly interesting.

I like everything about this mini. Cool!

Best of luck on your studies.

I agree. That black with the dark nmm gold look very nice.

Nice work on the sculpt!



ROFL :D

“rock ‘till you’re dead” lol. Cool mini.

Love the face on the marine.

Did Donkey bite off Shrek’s right hand? :( lol. Looking good and congrats on the win.

Just do what you need to. We are rooting for our forum buddy.

The skintones on that head are awesome!

That quad biker is a cool addition. Keep pumping them out BAM.

Damn! This is cooler and cooler with each update.

Cool experiment and I like your philosophy on painting minis you like even when you don’t feel skilled enough....I just turned 50 last month, so it hits home.

Looks nice. The fire could use a bit more contrast. Maybe some oranges to offset all the yellow.

The magicc tornado is an interesting piece.

Awesome minis. Best of luck and have fun.

Best of luck. No matter what you can be proud of your work.

Nice work and awesome productivity.

Very cool work. Btw that purple on the corset is a gorgeous color.

Nice. I really like that cool white look on the collar.

These are just awesome. I like that hook weapon the one guy has. That is a unique look I haven’t seen on similar sculpts.

M
Iirc it was pretty sparse. One book case with a few different games on it and everything else was the Game of Thrones stuff games.

Dang those goggles look good. Very nice BAM.

And I also agree that it is depressing how good Janet’s eyes turned out.

The shirt on the bust is just spectacular. And After one hour of painting I delegated my last new W&N brush to dry brushing duty.

The knife angel is cool and sad....unfortunately us humans always...

Cool Marines. I like the camo effects

That is one cool robot.

I love that nearly monochrome scheme. Very striking effect.

Welcome to the forum. You are off to a great start with your current tabletop skill.

Hope you had a great Easter too BAM.

Awesome. The only think off to me is the blue on the shoes. Seems too clean for running through a debris field.

Nice job on this “quicky”. Love the green in the wings.

Cool. The highlights on the green are beautifully smooth and the base is outstanding.

Those bike are really coming together. Good to see you continuing to knock minis out!

That turned out nice.your next sheer mini will be a lot easier.

The change to the shirt looks great. I also really like the color and global highlights on the beard.

That robot is really sharp looking.

Excellent trio of minis.

She looks great painted and on the base.

That purple is pretty. Great start on the freehand as well.

I agree that these changes definately helped and he looks a lot less glossy too.

I’d so you are off to a great start for a believable horse mini. The highlights and shades are all in the right place and the base colors look believable. It will be interesting to see where you take...

Congrats and those are some inspiring pictures you took.

Thanks for sharing your smoothing tools Doc Zoff.

DaBeebs, I agree with the herd. I don’t thing the sheer effect looks that bad, but the rough surface makes it harder on you. Don’t give up.

Congrats on the medals. I like were you are headed with the new guy. To mee the red under the eyes seems to intense, but it could just be the photo.

Nice base. I will have to look into the Liquitex black lava.

Nice work all the way around and congrats on finishing another mini.

You have become a gold nmm guru. Great start on the quickie.

I agree. The scarf piece already looks really cool.

I also like the colors you have built up 8n the last couple minis you posted. Very cool work.

Have fun with the new toys i really like the gosts and that ghoulie thing at the end.

Nice. That base is pretty cool.

The totem looks pretty cool to me.

Go for it. I love the concept and the worst thing that could happen is that you learn something new.

The self portrait is really looking nice. It really looks like you are having fun with this one.

Cool and I think you have done a great job with the spidery base.

Great save on the talons.

I agree 100% with DaBeebs on the look of this color scheme. The art deco look seems appropriate for the Raging Heros world. Heck, I am just impressed you were able to...

Those eyes are haunring on the undead. Nice.


....and I am waiting for some riders on thise motorcycles

This army painting is making great progress. Nice neat freehand triangles on th3 cloaks.

Not surprising with all of cmon’s recent issues and the fact that these types of things tend not to have long term staying power.

Congrats Ten. I also like that your excited about salute as it allows us to see you paint something other than GW minis.

The Arena Rex minis are nice I bought a bunch last year, but resisted this year. I didn’t even get to look at all the cases for Crystal Brush due to the hordes surrounding them.

The dwarf looks...

Nice work on this one, especially the purple glazes.

they look solid. Increasing the contrast on the reds would add more pop to their look. Are you using the Vallejo air metals? I have found that the air work much better for brush work than their...

The face and hands are beatiful. Lovin’ the blue and red tints.

You have some work ahead of you. Can’t wait to see the progress.

Voted. This turned out realy cool.

That dwarf looks awesome and such a characterful sculpt that you brought to life.

Nice work on some cool looking dwarves.

LOL. That is an intersting thought. Also don’t sell yourself short. You are as capable of this as me. And if you want to see my miss, this is the mini from the class the night before. Of course this...

Aint that the truth, but you can definately tell it has the BAM touches to it.

Moon face is also looking grrrrreeeaat!

It is a really nice looking tatoo.

I know. Bailey really stepped it up for the mini he had us use in the class. A very cool mini.

LOL::D

I will either be better or dead when that pile done!

Geez, thanks for reminding me...

Awesome explanation of your process.

Ditto. And I believe I have worked with this woman before.

Looking good, especially the sword and various bits of freehand. I can say that I find the glossy finish a little offputting in the photos. Other than that it looks good.

. Thanks Ddmkr. It looks like it is the 40mm Tagar from Hera Models. A beautiful sculpt that comes with two heads. I am tempted to fill the hole in the back if his head and leave the hair off.
...

This knight really looked awesome in the cabinet. Definitely work to be proud of.

Thanks guys the classes were worth it. The class Friday night really ended up being an exercise in getting back into the swing of things. I also bought a new set of over prised brushes Friday night...

sorry, I was think8ng on the one above that you were tweaking. The last changes really looked good.

I like the earthy robe tones.

I also worry if the Crystal Brush may end up dissolving as the CMON booth left a lot to be desired. I have heard rumblings of business problems. They has one wall of book cases. One had maybe dozen...

I was shaking the tip of the brush a good cm, yet I managed to get the eyes in only a couple tries...I am pretty surethat is a record for me.

i am right with you on the “steal these ideas” folder! ;)

Awesome recognition Saint Toad. And well deserved.

That is gorgeous Ten. You have becone a true painting wizard. Best of luck in the competition.

So much goodness.

The yellow eyes on the demon look great.

Those eyes are hauntingly mesmerizing.



This is going to be uber cool

It was a good time BAM. I didn’t get to see all the entries as people were block8ng some of the cases. I was able to see Bailey’s awesome Theifling conversion and Fluisterwood’s knight bust (not sure...

That is cool painting.

It isn’t very detailed, so you can do a bunch of things. Maybe paiint the lower flatter surface as normal terain (dirt, grass, asphalt, conrete, rock, etc.) then paint the mounds like web egg sack. I...

Thanks Toad. I think it will look pretty cool when completed too.

BTW, took a great face painting class with David Powell (Bailey) at Adepticon yesterday morning. Awesome class and highly...

Thanks Jocelyn and John. Got to Adepricon at noon and the little Bear got his picture with A Space Marine and got a free mini...now he is acting a little too excited for mom and dad.

Just...

Best luck in the competition.

carry on then...you achieved the effect!:)

btw, what purples are you using? They are luscious.

Thanks, I call this the good enough for table top gaming. If I wanted to use this for a display level presentation, I would print it at higher resolution on my UV resin printer. But these uor just...

Nice. In some ways too nice...unless the symbol on the talbard is supposed to be metal you may want to mute the nmm type transitions to make it look like cloth. It might make the nmm of the armor...

I like the metals as is except the silver end of the spear (?) which appears too monochromatic.

I agree that a yellow would look good on the eyes. This is a nice improvemnt for you. Nice!

First up....Apple you are so annoying updating my OS, so my photo cropping software doesn’t work. Oh well, I found a new app! ;)

Anyways, here is a simple terrain update. This is the Guard House /...

Good luck guys. I will be there Friday afternon with the family and staying two nights. I know I have a class with David Powell and Rhonda Bender...I just don’t remember which times.

My son is...

Nice start. As for a butterfly, how about a couple thistles in front of the minotaur with the butterfly perched on them?

Well, that daemon prince is rather disgusting. Good work.

For the marine I agree with some more contrast, especially some brighter highlights. It looks nice as is, but some highlight tweaks and...
