Yup, he\'s French. Jérémie Bonamant. Multiple GD winner too, in fact. And this mini is amazing. 
I want to paint like this.
I want to paint like this.a step ahead...
It does seem like they are (the french masters) painting on an entirely different level than most of the world.
It is amazing when you see what flawless masterpieces, even as the blown up image, this work is. Then you remember the actual size of the mini, and you are floored all over again.....
Do any of you remember a while back here in the forums, someone linked a russian site with incredible freehand miniature work?
Absolutely breathtaking.

I think I would give my left \"you know what\" to paint like that. Oh hell, I already have two kids, I\'d give my right one too....

lollolLOL! That\'s hillarious supervike!
Man, these sure are something, eh? Gosh, I don\'t want to sound too much of a \"fanboy,\" but man, that one of Alexi Z\'s \"Chaos Dragon Ogre Shaggoth\" is remarkable. The blending, shading, and what not is so smooth and sleek--it looks like an illustration!
Wow. Just :wow:

I pmed allan when i first got an account here... took him a few months to reply, but i asked him about his metallics... Basically its like all the rest of these insane french painters styles. Its all wash techique. Even with the metals. basically he said he washes boltgun and the starts layering up with very thin app. of boltgun, chainmail and thinned inks. Damn them french... they are too good. Anyone up for another communist uprising to shake them up a little more?

Yeah, \'Vike...
I\'d give your right and left one, too, to paint like that.
Makes me wish I\'d asked for some more painting skill for my birthday...lol

I\'m just trying to be nice...
Seeing as your birthday was this month, I don\'t want to take BOTH, so we\'ll just cash them in for 1/2 the talent, each, whaddaya think?
Yeah, Alexi Z\'s stuff made me poo my pants. LOVE his conversion of Lelith. And the freehand on the mounted lady model shown earlier in this post is disgustingly good.
I can\'t PAINT that well, and they have freehand to boot! Sheesh...
Ah well, just means more eye candy.

I really love the French stuff. I am lost for words when having to describe their works.
Alexi_Z is a she by the way and she is from Moscow/Russia. But I agree - definitely awesome stuff.
