A few updates. As a reminder, I have posted a bunch of links at the top of the thread if you care to see any of the other things I have done. The links will bring you to CMON, where you can always throw a vote my way  . Ok, a little bit more on the dwarf (a bit of gold NMM, definitely not my strong suit...) And a bit more on the Savage Orc Boss conversion.   TIM C: Thanks mate, and what a compliment. I agree about the teeth, I definitely should have done one or maybe even two more highlights there. Thanks again. |

Excellent work on the lord, i like the metallic cloak... something a little different if i had any complaints i would say the freehand on the banner needs to be tidier, crisper...if you know what i mean??? i tend to keep the background colour to hand when i paint lines etc so i can work it back and forth for sharp lines.. well done, i'll follow some of your links to vote |

Great work, I can't think of any criticism. A mini that complex must be real hard to paint!

Wow, it seems like forever sense I have actually worked on an "Individual" project. About 6 months it seems. Anyway, here is an Imperial Standard Bearer that I am working on as a tribute to a friend who has passed (Highborn Sycath)... the conversions were completed by "General Kayel" at Warhammer Realm. The model itself will be used in a combined effort army by the folks over at Warhammer Realm in the upcoming Grand Tournament. I really want to do the model justice before I send it away to them, so please, don't hold back on the criticism. The armour is supposed to be black armour with gold trim. The colors are Grey, Yellow (more of a brownish yellow), and red trim. The banner I am currently not liking (it is only base coated, but I still don't like it). I think it needs something more flamboyant than the average stripes and shapes.   |

about the banner: as the horse has risen the banner should move differently, ie. as it is now it's not going with the "flow"/wind, it looks unnatural. that's my humble opinion...

So, the boxes are still pretty stacked in the office... but what can any addicted painter do... paint of course. Actually, it feels like forever sense I have touched a brush with the move and everything... However, I know that the guys that asked me to paint this memorial mini needed it by June, so I sat down and tried to get this thing done. You will have to forgive my attempt at two dimensional artwork, as I really don't have much of a talent for it. In any case, I finally got this guy to what I was going to call done (very exciting), and took him out to the garage to give him a nice coat of Dull Coat for protection... went and ate dinner while it dried... came back... and... NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use permanent ink markers to draw on your miniatures. For some reason, no matter how many coats of paint are over top of it, once you hit that bad boy with the Dull Coat, all that blue ink returns to you...   Anyway, I am in the midst of fixing this mess now... so new pics tomorrow when the sun comes out again. Also, sorry about the blurry pic but I was trying to beat the setting sun. I will make sure that the pics tomorrow are of better caliber. MK |

Looks good mate but I think that you should maybe have guessed that using a marker pen might give you problems with anything you put over it as the water based pigment will bleed through just about anything. I hope you can repair the damage as it is looking pretty good.

As promised, here is what I am calling the finished product (mostly because he is wrapped in some foam and sitting in a box waiting for me to take him to the Post Office)... But, as I said before, it was a great experience for me as it took me out of my normal comfort zone and forced me to experiment with new things. I can say now that the 2 dimensional side, in my humble opinion, on a miniature, is where you find the real artists at (I have seen some really amazing stuff). This guy is far from that I think. But, as simple as it is, I think it came out OK. In the future I will try to experiment more with other designs and such, try to get away from the blockiness, stripes, etc that you normally see. Ahhh well, that is for the future. For now, back to some Goblins - as they need getting done.    And if you care to throw it a vote: IMPERIAL STANDARD BEARER |
