I drybrush from time to time, and I\'m not ashamed! There\'s nothing wrong with it if you know how to handle it.. and I can handle it. I really can. *hands start shaking* got to go now.. got to.. err.. clean my brushes, catch you later!

I feel so bad for you, Markus! Are you trying to say you haven\'t gotten lucky five times in twenty-six years? :(:(

Poor guy!

Eric....

Thanks for sharing that. It is a lovely job and, at a level I could aspire to....(unlike your recent work) which means that there is hope for anyone prepared to practice and persevere.

So...all I need to do now is practice and persevere:D:flip:

Fat chance in my case, but I still feel heartened by your thread:D

Zaph, I may someday have to repaint him, but it may be a little bit, the projects seem to be stacking up for me right now, but when I do I\'ll be happy to let you use the before and after :) Feel free to use my Witchhunters flamer sister if you\'d like, it\'s a nice before/after as well, seen here

I have to admit, at times, especially when I\'m getting tired I just start drybrushing, and depending on how tired I am, I stop myself sooner or later and try to undo whatever I just did. lol

but I thought it was a nice blast from the past, I\'m digging up some more, photos tonight! :)

No, I\'ve gotten lucky four times in seventeen years (four kids) lol

Everytime I sleep with my wife she pops out another kid. I\'m afraid to even look at her in a sexy way. :D

And maybe I haven\'t gotten lucky BECAUSE I SUCK?:(

ok, well I found a few more Rackham I\'ve done, along with a bunch of other minis, rangeing from about 18months to 24 months old (after 4 years of painting)

I just realized, the 5th mini down, with blood on the sword...that was the result of stabbing myself accidentally with the mini...which was right before I started trying blending...blood sacrifice for the mini gods, might be something there!

@ EricJ - Well, goes to show what can happen if you put your mind to it huh?

I know Jason Soles used to do line-painting to play Warhammer, then somewhere along the line he got transferred from the GameCenter to paint some of the statues for retail stores. Within about a year and half or so, he had been moved into the (short-lived) in-house miniature area to do painting. I was completely amazed when I saw his later work.

So the two of you just go to show that if you just stick to it and have good resources (web sites, friends, whatever) painting skills can improve greatly.

And thanks for sharing the old minis!

You must be using the wrong bodily fluid on your minis.... lol lol

Oh, that was BAD!
