Try water casting on the smaller bits

How could you water cast them? I must have a different understanding of water casting than what you are suggesting. My understanding of water casting is a primitive casting techinique used by jewelers with silver. You drop molten silver into whirling water to create interesting and unpredictable shapes.

That's what I know from my jewelry background - I assume you mean something different - I'd love to hear it!

Finally, A Decent Fiend!

Those who know me and my painting trials over the years also know that I have not painted a decent fiend for some time. I picked up a new game for me called Confrontation 3rd ed. and began painting some demons. This particular demon is called Balkor and although he is far from perfect, I am satisfied with my results:

I also finished a unit of Widowmakers for a commission. Same scheme as the one pictured before and I am now working Greylord Ternion for the same customer. Lots of snow!

I know these pictures are a little washed out, but I’m making progress on the photo front. I took extensive notes on my settings and adjusted the lighting. I’m also working on a simple diffusion box. My New Year’s resolution will be to deliver even better mini pics in the future!

Very cool! How long did it take to do Balkor?
I love many of the Confrontation mini's. I've never played the game though.

Game ON!

Thank you for the kind words.

As far as how long he took - well, I'm not sure. I probably have a couple of hours in prepping the miniature and putting it together alone. Painting went fairly quickly, so maybe 6 or 7 hours painting - but that's definitely a WAG.

You've outdone yourself, sir. That is an outstanding piece.

Attention miniature painters!

I have no affiliation with this company, but check out this amazing sale on W&N #7s miniature brushes at ASWExpress ! They ran this sale last year and the miniature style brushes sold out very quickly.

If you have not tried these before, you owe it to yourself to buy a couple. There are no better brushes in the world.

Wow. Fabulous fiend man. Holy farkin' A, that's nice work.

Howdy,

Back in the saddle! Here’s a couple of updates. Note that I had my light source to close so the photos are a little washed out, but they’re the first in a long while. Some commissioned privateer press work first – one you have seen and one you have not:
