Epic's WIPs

[EpicMiniArt]

I was 15 in 1999 lol. I started painting and war gaming around the same age and have been on and off. I stopped when I went to uni and started partying and when I met my wife I settled down and about 5 years about I started taking painting a lot more seriously. Every man needs an escape from real life although I find painting mentally challenging when I'm putting my all into it.

I'm just finishing off my Ork Nob dude. I've just finished the base coat on the skin on the storm boyz, they are gonna look epic. Gonna do something a little different with the metal work on these dudes, just you lot wait. If they turn out the way I envision they will you will be surprised now I know what I'm doing I'm starting to experiment a little.

This is my beautiful

My beautiful Asian fiancé she's my backbone my strength my motivation and my life all wrapped up in a 5foot 2 130 pound beauty.. I love this woman like no tomorrow!)

 

[EpicMiniArt]

she looks lovely John, and your very lucky to have some one who understands artwork (btw her jewelry looks fantastic. I'd love to get something for my wife, you'll have to hook me up with something (I don't mind buying lol)

 

[BloodASmedium]

Lol haha ok bud no problem tonight I'm taking her out to a Vietnamese restaurant. By the way epic go to my gallery look under my nurgle plague bearers you'll see very small jeweler spheres made of small bits of silver I used these balls as pox and pustules that my girl said hey wouldn't these Lil jeweler spheres work well she glued them on and go take a look at what a brainstorm she gave me with these very small pits of jewelery .it's really amazing.

 

[EpicMiniArt]

Ok, I've done a little more work on the ork nob, only had about 1/2 hr to paint this eve.

I've fine lined the smaller details so they didn't look so lost and gave them a little extra punch. I've redone the eyes. with yellow/white whites and black pupils (I didn't fancy the red eyes that a lot of ppl go with. I wanted them to have a human element to them) and added more shade to the lion cloth.

I think I'm gonna quickly do the base on this one and call it a day and work on the storm boyz

wicked mate Vietnamese is ace, although there is only few restaurants in the uk

Okay so this model is looking great too has the same elements which means consistency but I have 1 small thing to ask is for you to tighten up the scratch marks thinner is better it's more realistic if they're tightened up do then compare other than that it's very nice and in constance with the ork nob facerippa.go do it then base it and get her up.nice job.

 

[EpicMiniArt]

what I'll do is, I'll pop go lowlight the sctaches in black to tighten them up.. hopefully it should give the illusion of depth

 

[Quiarcus]

Hey Epic, the Nob is coming along nicely though I would say that perhaps his clothes look a little too clean for an Ork; also (I feel) the trousers could do with some shading underneath.

Also, St.Austell? Before moving to China (with my Asian wife) I lived in Par for many a year and greatly miss the quality of the local brews and the glorious clean air!

 

[EpicMiniArt]

well I live in Par but no one ever knows where Par is where as St Austell some ppl know lol.. wow talk about local

In September that year I was flying across the Atlantic in my arms my dragon box for 24 hours until I arrived at my bed in Breakfast in Stratford upon avon where I stayed for one full week waiting for the Games day in Birmingham, awesome week, actually dream week, only thing missing was my wife, I should of insisting she comes anyway...I visited Warwick Castle, Oxford, and I when to Nottingham for the Pictures for the last day. I will never forget how the ppl where warm and welcoming and how i loved the train rides in the countryside. The VIP tour of the complex is just mind blowing, got to chat with legends there.


This is the piece that put my name up there, My sword in the USA in 97 is something ok but this is what I am known for. This is me as crazy as this.

With my Gold demon they also gave me this.

More official

This is what I was fighting for, that sword right there, and you can see my head in the lower left corner just behind Jacob Neilsen's arm, can you see the expression I am In a state of shame over my failure LOL That's me that's ole Teronus right there!!!!!

But look at that no sword but half of a page in white dwarf.

Plus almost a whole page in the Chaos Codex of 2002 or something, so every guy who played codex knows who I am, that is my most Honorable accomplishment my name is set in stone no matter what.

I am happy to share this story with you.
