The Voting Link Mini painted for the first round of Iron Painter II at Wyrd. This mini fell to the brush of Wargriffon, but it is my first time at a good old rust effect since I used to weather Lionel train tressels some (OMG) 30 years ago. A mud effect is also on the lower portion of the...

Patined in the Speed Painting Contest at Gen Con 2006. My first attempt at this competition. A few colors of reaper paint, an interesting mini and 45 minutes to paint it. Strangely enough it was fun. VOTE HERE! COMMENTS WELCOME! And if anyone knows the maker of the mini let me know.

Originally I was thinking of three girls, but the one standing just seemed a tad too tall and had some other problems. Currently they are on hold because I\'m working on another mini contest with a deadline. I must be metal blind. Those mold lines are clearly obvious after the primer is...

From my recent painting class at Gen Con ... \"Hair with Sue.\"

Clothing? Check. Badge? Check. Camera? Check. Laptop? Check. Game Books? Check. Dice? Check. MONEY? Check. My paintbrushes. Oops. I hope the classes have some brushes. I feel so embarrassed. :(

Well, seeing how I\'m more of the not in Cool Mini or Not, I thought I would try my hand at atrificial flower arrangments. All of the stuff in the arrangment was from Michael\'s Craft Store. And while it is in the bottom of the photograph I might as well make a plug for my 2005 NaNoWriMo...

I wonder about these things sometimes. It seems like the old days where a mini could over enough time get a hundred or so votes is long gone. Once my recent mini reached slightly over 50 votes (one was 53 and the other 52) it remained that way for over a month. I even tried to promote them...

The minis come from the Legend of the Five Rings Reaper series, but when I saw the first one I immediately thought of The Mikado from Gilbert and Sullivan\'s Opera The Mikado or the Town of Titipu. After painting The Mikado I went looking for a proper Katisha, \"the Daugher in Law Elect\" to...

Individual puctures of the figures in my entry for the Deadly Duel in the Wyrd Contest have been uploaded. Soccer Moms and the Kids HFH027 Rabbit killer Alice in boots (VOTE HERE) HFA002 Jess (VOTE HERE) HFA009 Peter and HFA010 Katie (VOTE HERE) Undead Den Mother and her Munchkin...

Since she\'s ... well nude ... I\'ll just post the links. (Uness of course it\'s ok in which case I\'ll edit. Better to get permission than punishment I say.) Through the various comments I received I managed to update my Nude Mary. A few mistakes along the way (like a little black on my...

On this Ash Wednesday I wanted to remind everyone that we are all thinners. I myself had not realized my addiction to this problem until I noticed that my thinning had gotten to such an extreeme that I was starting to see BARE METAL on the edges of the mini I was currently working on. My...

I have a mini that I submitted to CMON a while ago. I\'ve done some touchups on her and she is slightly improved ... but photographing the feet is somewhat bizzare. My Nude Mary ... Scroll down her feet are at the BOTTOM of the photo. The white on the base is clear and obvious to the casual...

I\'ve notived that the CMON 6 Contest rules are no longer in the Contest Section of the web site? Has the any mini in monochrome contest been officially pulled? I\'m asking because I\'m already in the process of painting my grayscale monk. I was going to use the one accent color for some...

What can I say, I\'m in love with this 4\" tall Ogress from Eastern Front Studios, a part of their Dungeon Crawl series. This was my first attempt at serious three tone flesh, and my first attempt at glazes to get skin tone and the wet t-shirt look. Somehow it seems more subtle to the naked...

This is not something I would normally comment on indivual minis but every time I see a set of GW War Dancers I am reminded of that stupid formation by the Ginu force in Dragon Ball Z. Never having seen the whole set, I wonder if there is an arrangement that makes them spell out something or...

I have a question for the CMON gurus out there. I see several people using very large headers on the tops of their graphics. I tend to use a reasonable resolution, (1024x768) but some of these heders are so large that when the voting page comes up most of the mini is below the visual area of...

I really want to avoid this thread as just being a plain pimping of one of my minis. (Hey I\'m still going to do it anyway.) But I want to concentrate on the mini itself, not my poor attempt at painting it. (But feel free to vote and give me suggestions for improvement.) I\'ll start with the...

The text on every page says \"10 is amazing, 8 is a great job, 5 is tabletop quality.\" Now I can pretty much tell when a mini is a 10, and even tell the difference between an 8 and a 7, but the middle numbers and the low numbers just confuse me. So what really is a 5 supposed to mean? I\'ve...

I really like this mini. This is actually my second attempt at painting this mini - in part because I entered a Reaper mini exchange and I notice the person selected for me likes Hobbits, and there really isn\'t a huge selection of Reaper Halflings out there. Basically the only really...

This is a case where the jury is still out, but I\'m not expecting a favorable verdict. A few months ago (July to be exact) I started expermenting with thinning metalic paints. I posted the bronze paladin to the CMON boards. I think it was the first time I was able to get a photo that managed...
