I have worked my way through voting on all of the new submissions and am now getting stuff pop up from 2002-2009. My question is this: is it fair to judge the old submissions against today's more refined and artistic painting and basing? I am seeing high 8's and 9's that wouldn't be voted that...

I am a little deep into this one but I have a pretty cool base planned for her. I spent a big part of the weekend on her and every night after work so far. There is still plenty to document on her I just regret I didn't take pictures of the sheer top process. The figure is based off of art work...

Finally got Alice finished up if anyone is interested to see her. The montage is on my work computer so i'll put it up in the morning. In the mean time here is the linc to her. I hope you like this version of her, she is so much fun to paint. http://www.coolminiornot.com/319756 edit: adding...

While Alice stares at me 99% completed I thought I would start on this big fella. He is a 200mm bust with a lot of opportunity for trying new things. Here is what I am doing with him. His face is so amazingly sculpted I wanted to go for a portrait style of realism on it. I typically go for...

Here is my new work I started on over the weekend. This is a pretty cool figure from figone that I have had for awhile. I have never liked her face so I tried to do a little re-sculpting and carving on it to make it somewhat easier on the eyes. Long story short, this Willem Dafoe look-a-like...

Here's my next project. It is another from the pin-up series by Andrea. Original art by Gil Elvgren. I used her in my entry for the one hour face painting comp here http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/showthread.php?50855-1-hour-face-painting-comp I'm going to focus mostly on getting the sheer...

Here is a little project I have been working on. She is one of Andrea's pin-up girls. She is an amazing sculpture that looks so much like the original art by Gil Elvgren. Here is my start on her. I have chopped off the diving board because I have a different scene in mind for her that...

Wasn't sure if this could help anyone with painting skin and in particular a face. This is a 1/10th bust of Napoleon. This time period isn't usually my thing but I just love the sculpture for some reason. I documented just about every step I took to get to the final portrait seen in the last...

Ok, I am a little nervous posting this bust by Pegaso because of the graphic nature. Make no mistake, she is hotter than donut grease but she is in a fetish pose. If this sort of stuff offends you, then please go look at something else, because in the end she is really just a lump of resin that...

While I await the arrival of my extender to finish the pirates tats, I thought I would have a start on my entry for the chic challenge. This is a little 40mm nug from hasslefree. I made the base last night and will get some paint on her while I watch the US open today. Let me know what you think...

Started painting this great Andrea pirate, he has been a really easy paint so far. He is typically holding a sword in his left hand but I'm going to replace it with a bottle of wine. He will be pouring it onto the ground as a tribute for his homey that has been lost during their plunders. Here...

It's been a little while since I did an SBS so I thought this girl would be the perfect one to do it on. This girl is from Nocturna and depicts Alice in wonderland, she comes with a mushroom that she will be sitting on (not sure if I'm going to use it yet though). These are the first painting...

This is cool 75mm figure by Andrea that I am painting as a modern Samaurai from WWII, hence the title. He is really proving to be a quick paint so far but the free hand I have planned for his kimono will be pretty time consuming. If anyone is interested I can post how I tackle the freehand...

Here is a first for me. It is a little project with my sculptor friend Gordy that has been a pure fun fest. Gordy and I sat down late last summer to come up with some fun ideas in a larger painters scale. I'm doing it for the pure joy of getting to paint a green original sculpture (something I...

Here is another one from the group I bought along with the beer girl. This figure is from 1988 and is a remarkable sculpt for the time. I forgot to take a bunch of progress photo's so all I have is this one near completion. There is still plenty to do like finish her bracelet and paint some...

Started this little lady yesterday to try and get back on my feet after the staggering defeat delt to me by my Freya project. She's coming along nicely so far I think. I went for mostly pastel colors on her just because I've never done a whole figure in such light and cheery colors before. I am...

This is the really cool figure from Nocturna that I ordered from CMON. The title is intended to play off another figure I did from Andrea that I titled "You've come for me gold?". It can be seen here http://www.coolminiornot.com/289400 I have to say the quality of the casting is better than ones...

Here is my next project. I went to my local hobby shop today and a guy had just dropped off a bunch of figures to sell. I looked through what he had and I found this girl. A gorgeous sculpt in 80mm of a German beer girl. I looked at it and was blown away by the detail and sculpting. I could tell...

Started this guy a few days ago after a long hunt for him. It is no longer produced so it took me a long time to finally get my hands on him. He is an excellent figure and actually a very easy and stress free paint so far. I am thinking about doing a brokendown partial staircase behind him and a...

just started working on this little fellow from White Rabbit minatures. He is called the happy monk but I am changing out the limb on his shoulders to a stream of playing cards. The cards are all individually cut and painted in a matching 54mm scale. This was something that was harder than I...
