Ok, I needed a fun mini to do after that ogre, so here it is!!! This was going to be a CCV entry of mine, however the mini arrived a couple days after the \"before\" photo deadline, so it didn\'t make it, although probably a good thing, as I wouldn\'t have had time to finish her. This was also...

This was just a curiousity of mine, but with the recent rash of cmoners getting jobs painting up display pieces for miniature companies, I thought I would ask. How did you come across the painting job? I haven\'t really ever seen (other than the occassional post here in the forums) job...

So I\'ve noticed recently that pretty much every time I get something up on the TL7D, that invaribly it will get \"reported\" at least once or twice in that week. Has anyone else noticed this as well? Do you think this is intentional, and a slightly altered method of snipping, or just a...

Hi all, I stuck up the paint aid tyrant, take a look Tyrant I originally wasn\'t going to add him as a post here, but then I thought that it is free advertising! So here he is, I tried to include as much about the project and the process of creating him in the post as possible, hopefully, in...

Ok, today was a good day and so I just need to exclaim about it! Some of you may remember in my new years resolutions that 2 of them were fairly ambitious, basically that I would... -Start my own graphic design business -Move to a new place, preferably my first house (ownership) Well I\'ve...

Ok, I\'ve this idea for my first GD entry, and it\'s a touch...conceptual. I know the standard for the duel catagory is two miniatures in a physical battle, however my idea was more conceptual using a reflection (of course), and the battle more on a mental level. Basically a figure fighting...

Hi all, ok, so I\'m working on this tyrant for paint aid and there were a lot of questions I had because he has a ton of wargear and I don\'t want to mess him up!!! First of all, here is description of him from our army list: 335 Pts. (1) Tyrant w/ Brace of handguns ( 12pts.), 2 Sword...

So I know a lot of the top mini painters out there do paint for hire, but I don\'t see a lot of sculptors do so in a commision basis, I mean other than for mini companies intending to mass produce their work. I see scultors working on projects (like paint aid), for competitions (FU UK for...

Ok, I\'m working on another bit of freehand and well, I\'m not that great at sketching my own images. What I\'m looking for is a silouette of a fierce looking dragon, or rather a dragons head. I\'m not having any luck finding a concept image to work from :( -Eric

So what is it you \"should\" be doing when you typically find yourself getting distracted reading/posting on the cmon forums? I think mine is split about 45-45-10 between not doing my actual \"pay the bills\" work, and not doing my painting, with an occasional not sleeping ;) ATM this post is...

So I was looking at the top 10 list and it hit me, the order that tied scores (ie all 9.8\'s or 9.7\'s) end up in isn\'t some fraction of the decimal we can\'t see, which is what I figured...but it seems to be the vote count... The more votes the higher rank. It\'s that way in the rankings for...

Warning, this is an off topic a rant, I just needed to yell a bit. Ok, so it seems that any woman in my life at best tolerates the mini painting, and, as I learned this weekend, can be downright hurtfull about it. I got a \"Eric, you obviously have some talent, why don\'t you do something...

Hi all, I was hoping someone with more books on 40k fluff than me might be able to help me with a little of the background fluff on Horrus. Specifically 1) What was his pre-chaos corruption SM chapter? 2) What was that chapters colors/appearance/theme? 3) Which Chaos god corrrupted him...

OK, I know she\'s kind of saturated the site lately, so this is my last post on her, promise! But for everyone who asked for a shot of her other side and a close up of the base, I\'ve included it all in this post Dark Maiden Multiple Views Thanks again everyone for the outpouring of support...

Well here she is, still with some photo issues, but the best I can do for now without a lot more experimenting, which I so don\'t have time for right now! Vote here I hope you like her, comments/critisisms/ideas are more than welcomed! -Eric PS thanks all for putting up with my slightly...

So the Reapers Dark Maiden is the inspiration for my next little project, and at one point a link to a photo of an increadibly painted Dark Maiden was posted here, I think by Frustrated Father. Of course now I want to take a closer look at that image and I can\'t find it again...help? -EricJ

Here is a new project I got stuck on for a while but managed to finish up, a couple new things for me, take a look! Here it is! Thanks, -Eric

That is the Etiquette on posting minis here before they are officially \"active\" on the site? Or if there is any problem with a post getting veiws/votes before it\'s active? Of course it\'s because I\'m eager to show off a recent post and get feedback on some new-for-me experiments without...

Ever have one of those days where everything you paint turns out looking like it was done by a blind baby monkey with no thumbs? I\'m STUCK, it\'s not that I\'m not motivated to paint, it\'s just coming out horribly tonight, and I have no idea why :( -Sad Eric

So here is my problem, I am trying to switch to primarily Vallejo paints, however I very much dislike using dropper bottles. So the challenge is to find top quality paint bottles, .75-1oz (20-30ml) which I can transfer my vallejo paints into, which have good caps to paint out of. I\'d like...
