Damn I am slacking! It took several pages to get back up to speed and I am glad you are knocking it out of the park with some new minis. The Nurgle lord really lends itself to your awesome style. Can't wait to see these in person.

Guys I have some tips I was thinking of

This may or may not help win a comp. I DO ALOT of prepping for my comps. As even though I’ll admit it’s very difficult to win at golden demon and Crystal Brush I still have the feeling that I want to win and have affirmation on my work to the highest degree. So here’s my thoughts I’ve been competitive since I was young in sports and academics as well. I’ve competed and played every major sport life had to offer. I excelled at this greatly. Academically although I never attended Major universities - I’ve made a few big names such as UMBC, temple , and duke university. I went to school locally instead. I in the last 5 years excelled at miniature painting as well. What I can say is this there are a ton of people who are amazing. So when I embarked I wanted to do something diff. I wanted a John Blanche style but more organised . So I learned all the leathers, the metals, the flesh etc that I thought would look like this when fused together. The best chance any of us painters including higher level types as well is to paint with a signature that exemplifies your own. (eg flunk u tron , Skelette (his signature dark schemes purple blue type ambiance on his, Etc . It boils down to 3 things a diff style, Excellent freehand, and amazing creativity on both models and basing and this includes themes and storylines. ( David soper and his tiny micro beads and mottled skin and stripes on his chaos nurgle and ork pieces) it’s either this or good luck getting your painting( blending, highlight/shade placement, stippling)as good as Francesco farabi, David Powell , ten ball , Andy g etc etc. As one can see it’s pribaly easier and more rewarding doing the first idea. Beating these guys str8 up is just NOT going to happen, not for me at least.furthermore each contest is looking for it’s own standard- Crystal Brush is looking for perfect blends and NMM- it’s the easiest way to judge what model is painted best by the cleanest and most perfect of these techniques. Golden demon is a selling business type contest and they want most of their placeings to look like the wavy metal team. So again it also depends are you willing to change what you know and what one loves to fit into the equation of winning accolades. I know I wouldn’t . If what I do had no merit and awards in the last 5 years i still would paint the way I have been simply cause I look at my cabinet EVERY DAY AND NIGHT . I LOOOOVE THE WAY MY MODELS LOOK AND PROBABLY WOULDNT EVER CHANGE. Think bout tenball ( if I may use you as an example lee. IMHO he has one of the best , most sought after bright styles. He should be always placing in golden demon and imho should have a ton of statuettes . I don’t know what’s going on there. However he kills it at salute and hussar Etc Etc. He pushes on with his mega perfect style and knows his not placing more often HAS NOTHING TO DO. With his models not painted to a high standard . He’s confident and knows there are other shows and who knows maybe one day they’ll applaud his superior and amazing work over some others paintjob that sells their product better.;) anyway guys what is one willing to do I am not ready to have to learn nmm to win nor am I ready to unlearn all I have that keeps me happy looking at my miniatures as is.
Good luck in your search folks.

Nice to see the weathering emerging from his armour. I think Nurgle models are the perfect accompaniment to your style.

I don’t suppose you could share the recipe for your skin tone, or a rough approximation?
