Finally 2005, Paladin and Arkeon Sanath by me!

[neonlights]

Yep, as promised, here\'re are my first minis in over 6 years. It\'s all down to CMON, and especially the top artists like Fluffy et al. who have inspired me to pick up my brush again - so thanks!

Lots of firsts for me, first time Privateer Press and Rackham, first time Vallejo, first time NMM, first time green stuff, snow flakes, varnish, dark age bases! (Sorry GW, but you\'re so yesterday! )

I think I still need to get a hang of the photography, that\'s a toughie. But here\'s the best I could manage for now.

Feedback and comments appreciated!


Order of the Wall Paladin
Arkeon Sanath

Voted and commented on both. Great work, very impressive.

In the first submission, though, in your DESCRIPTION you refer to Fluffy as a \'him\', but I\'m rather sure she is a \'her\' instead....

After six years not painting you put out something that good

I don\'t think I could be that good after sixe years of steady painting.
Love that shield.

 

[Equus]

Very nice. I especially like the paladin. Voted on both!

well, I sit corrected - my apologies! (Made the same mistake about Trinity )

A good decision...

... to pick up your brush again. It clearly belongs in your hand!

thanks again for your feedback. Truth be told, the paladin gave me a lot of headache. Assembly was tricky as the cape was so heavy, and then painting it was also tricky cos of the obstruction of the cape. The base also took quite a lot of time to make, I used a thin layer of green stuff on top of some blocks of cured putty.

Arkeon was also a bit of a pain because of the sword which obscured the front.

But all in all, I\'m quite pleased with the results. Not sure if I\'ll do another one this year, as I only paint in the summer when the light is good. Want to try and get an overall score of 8.5 on CMON - but will need something extra special
