Does Grendal sell cute and fuzzy dungeon peices? Like kidnapped princess, extravagant bedroom, traveling weaponsmith? I'd be all for those pieces
That beholder is some nice work by Pogre, and I can personally vouch for his talent. Having had 3 minis painted by him, they're so well done I make sure I use them all the time. My group's getting tired of seeing the lich everywhere
No doubt...
If I had a couple of Pogre-Painted Minis (PPM (tm)), I would find a way to use them every session. I already told him in my SH thread that if I win the lottery, I am going to hire him for a year to paint minis and create props !

Count me in - I already have a legion of Foundry Imperial Romans ready to go!
I better order the Roman temple Mold from Hirst Arts just in case you win

In case you had not guessed - HM is playing in my current campaign... Actually most of the Grendel stuff I am painting is fairly mundane. However, the $14.00 blister I just got in from Reaper should be a cause for concern
d20 magazine Rack on Painting Inspiration. If you have not touched your brush for a few weeks, head over there and see if some of my ideas can get you jump started. Better yet, if you have an idea - do me a GREAT favor and post it on the comments to the article.
The article is not my best writing, but the ideas are good.

Hey Connor SB - thanks for the bump brother! I always enjoy stealing ideas from your threads over in Rogues!
All pictures posted here are thumbnails linked to larger images.
Here is the latest boy band I painted up:
I spent the entire weekend painting just one figure. It was not large at all. I will be posting it here in the near future and I will be anxious to hear from you if it was worth the effort. It is the subject of my next pair of d20 Magazine Rack articles as well.
Hey thanks - actually these are Reaper Bugbears. I think Jason Wiebe sculpted them. Have not seen the Kenzer stuff, although I would like to.
DUHHHH!!!
I are not smart.
Actually, Kenzer doesn't make bugbear minis. I had them confused (mostly because of the colors and the layout of the shot) with these Kenzer Hobgoblins:

So I spent the entire weekend last week finishing up my entry for Sean K. Reynolds Anger of Angels mini painting contest. The result of which you see below:
This mini is rated <IMG SRC=http://www.coolminiornot.com/score.php?id=49851> at coolminiornot.
My next two articles on d20 Magazine Rack will detail step-by-step how I painted every part of the miniature (from the skin to the non-metallic metal gold armor). Now, I just cross my fingers and hope my entry is good enough...
The picture is a large thumbnail if you want to go closer up.
Dude, VERY nice work on the wings there. Very subtle, but nicely contrasting and noticeable without looking like a hacked-up drybrush or something. Nice, nice work. I like the non-metal metallic armor, one of the guys in my group is experiementing with that technique and has me intruiged with it.
And thanks for stopping by my threads too.

Here is a link to the first part of my step-by-step guide to how I painted the Angel model on the d20 Magazine Rack site. Some of the in progress pictures are not the best, but you can certainly see what I was trying to do:

Having seen this mini in person, and hearing about how Pogre painted it. I have an increased admiration for the hours this must've taken to complete. I certainly hope you win.
Nice article. I was interested to see the progression using the NMM. After reading about how some of the Confrontation mini painters had done it, and how good it looked in their marketing stuff, I gave it a shot.
Now I know I shouldn't have given up halfway through; I was doing armor and shield and it looked horrendous to me so I scrapped it before I finished.
Nice to see it in progress, good article and very good job on the mini. Makes me want to drag out that mucho-big angel I've had sitting around primed and paint him up.

You know, that's the thing about NMM, there is a stage where it does look BAD. I continue to work at it and I would give my effort on the angel a B+. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks HM. Either way, I have no regrets. I tried a lot of new techniques and certainly invested time into the project. I'm not sure I am capable of a better angel right now. If I get beat by people with plain more artistic talent, well, that's life - I gave it all I had.
Inspired by many dungeon tiles I have been seeing around I went and ordered another 6 Hirst molds. It is by far easier to tell you which molds I do not have, as opposed to the ones I own.

My name is pogre. I am an addict.
You sound like 2 guys in my group, Fludogg and Pierce. They have so many molds and tons of little bricks.
They keep asking me why I don't get into the Hirst Arts, and my answer is "seeing you two, I'm almost afraid to get into them..."

Ah, so you, sir, are the one who has turned our dear Scorch into the Hirst addict he is today. (of, course, if I had the space and more time, I'd most likely be one too )
We Meepites are in awe of your work and your tips have been invaluable.
Oh, and just so you know, Pogre, your thread has got me really interested in painting models again. I am getting a set of Vallejo paints for my birthday, and i eagerly await some hardcore painting action.
Oh, and I posted the "evil thing" you wanted in my Rogues Gallery thread.
