10 balls WIP

[Graishak]

Bird and cricket look awesome.
The fotoshop version of skel seems to be a new inspiration for "angry birds"? LOL

 

[fluisterwoud]

C'mon, Skel, it needs MORE SKULLS!

 

[CreepyBasementStudio]

It looks WAY to flightworthy for a GW VEHICLE! LOL

Looking good 10! My wife happens to love Black caps so mine will be easier, but the robin colors look great!

Those legs look great. Did you do the leaves too? Or are they organic

 

[Chaotic Creations]

Very cool base... I had to look a couple of times there, then realised they are little Japanese maple leaves

Did you do the leaves too? Or are they organic

I'm still not quite convinced that the bird is resin and not organic xD

Really great work. So much color variation and contrast on such small details. Just a joy to watch

This is going to look like taxidermy it’s so realistic.
Except most taxidermy isn’t actually this good.

I own this mini too, but now I'm afraid to start working on it...
Excellent work, as always!

I think this is such good painting that you will trick a birdwatcher in believing it's the real thing! Big admiration.

My god that cloaking effect is well painted...

And I agree that if those leaves are painted, then you have reached a new level of awesome!

 

[ten ball]

Thanks all. The leaves are dried maple and are partley painted, blending the real colours and textures then enhancing with thin glazes of paints.

Is there such a thing as "brush envy?" I am so inspired by what you can do with paint. Yet, at the same time, I'm disappointed because this is now a model that I really doubt I would ever attempt; it would never come, even remotely, close to the awesomeness of yours.

All kidding aside, great work, and keep it coming!

I'm currently on another project but as soon as I start working on it, I will post some pictures on my threat. And I can always come back here for inspiration

Thanks all
Spent a few hours over the weekend painting the heroquest elf. I will be working my way through the hq minis over this year. I've always wanted to paint the lot of them to a reasonable high standard and nows the time. Bloody loved painting this!
I've slighty converted him by attaching a bow. Stuck nearly to the traditional colours and tried to make something of the awful gaming base.
It really shows the skill of the designers to make such simple but characterful miniatures that 30+ years on are a joy to paint.
