I like the first one a lot. The second looks good but I think being sculpted, it would definitely need something extra. Who does your artwork?

I\'m not really familiar with who does good sculpting. I dont do fig\'s, just terrain. Others here in the forum might be able to personally vouch for someone. You might also take a stroll through the \'greens\' section, see who does really killer work and contact them. That way you could actually see what someone\'s work looks like and match up their style with your art.
 
Dauber, James thanks glad you like them..they were done by our new Art Director Herman Lau..I think they will make fine additions to our interior art ..B&W is nice but color..wow..not sure the little frog will make it on to the armored guy but maybe somewhere ;)
 
Shawn we have several people we use I just thought it interesting to hear someone elses reasoning who we should pick..some people excel at certain looks..or designs..just a thought :)
 
Shawn I think Scibor would do immaculate work but seems he has a line of minis he is working on for himself I dont know if he would be interested or available but good call;)..the filagree and designs are very good..but the one thing with this is it usually has to be sculpted on or it comes away once vulcanized..we encountered this problem before..i think eventually we will try our hand at resin to metal at some point or fully resin is a possibility..the new stuff from Ilyad is amazing.

I\'d definitely want the one on the right.
The one on the left looks like it would give me painting nightmares.
 
Shawn thanks im sure you will see the progression of him..we have another in the works at the moment a halforc/ogre called korg being done by Tom Mason you may know the name from Magnificent Egos excellent stuff..like angro the dwarf..korg will have 3 weapons to choose from..2 handed wavy sword..battleax and a double ended battleax...maybe i can get some wip shots up of him.
 
Naukhel lol yeah I leave the very elaborate painting to the uber painters like James Wappel..glad you like them..the character is based on one of Herman Lau\'s characters the resoning for the bell he carries some magic item he has..since we had all sorts of characters over the years we really liked we thought why not make some of them into metal.

This one seems the general favorite.

The ratty jeans puzzle me and I think they\'d be hard to pull off at 28mm.

Bayrodney as I write this im to go call Jeff Grace about some new things..you may know him from ral parthas D&D line work or DragonBlood miniatures from our pal eric loccard..also have been speaking with jeff Wilhelm not sure how fond he is of characters though and seems Bob Olley will be onboard for some work in Feb..im thinking Bob will be doing something creepy like a big lanky creature as he excels at those.
 
Hi Vince thanks for posting them here thats much easier..i never noticed the pants being frayed..i agree though maybe hard to do in 28-32 mm without looking like fur on the edges..to me the the guy casting the spell will make a interesting character and npc possibly..we are thinking he may be one of the guilds of wizards hired assassins to counter act the antimages the thieves have hired in the cold war going on..but more on this when i have pages to make it make more sense;) thanks again

very nice...

Maybe you could check with Nathan over at Wyrd Games. He is just getting started into the mini business, but the minis are reminescent of what he is trying to do over ther...

Either way. Good luck, they are cool.
