My miniatures... - so far!

[pogre]

Excellent!

For first minis these are quite amazing. Good work

I have to agree with everyone else - these are really nice.

I think these mini's put most people's first attempts to shame (I know they do with mine).

And on the subject of eyes...
...I've been painting (off and on) for a while now - and I still don't bother with eyes

Alright, I paint a lot of miniatures, or have over the years. I've seen a lot of painted miniatures as well. Yours look great. I've seen some first time mini's that are awful, but if these are your first mini's, they are great. I see no problems with the faces or the eyes. keep up the good work.

Your basing is good too.

Nice paintjobs!

One standard trick for eyes: paint the eyes first. Allow the whites to slop over the eye socket, then paint the pupil as a vertical black line across the eye (generally easier to do than trying to precisely place a single black dot). Then, when you paint the skin tones, you can cover up the slopover as you paint around the lids/eyesocket, and unless the mini has huge eyes or your black line was incredibly thin, only a "dot" of the black will be visible.

These are wicked good!

Okay... some of them were already painted last year, but I never got around to take decent photos. Now I could be bothered to do that, so I guess I'll post them now!

Additionally, I've discovered the macro-mode on my camera and how to correct the lighting levels properly... so the photos are a notch better than the last ones!

As always, they are ordered chronologically in the order of painting.

Okay, this one was a nice one, though I still have to paint his wolf companion. I also think that the colour combination (grey and purple) is very odd. No clue why I have done it that way!

The sculpt is a personal favourite, but my paintjob isn't as good as I wanted it to be. Probably because I liked the mini and was on-and-off with painting it. But I have still no clue what to put on her base... :/ ...so feel free to suggest something.

While this one is my favourite paintjob so far. I'm very happy how the blues turned out!

I like this guy... and it was my first try light sources. It failed, especially on the scroll. ANd the skull looks illogical for something glowing... but it could be worse!

I scored this guy from my FLGS about half a month after the D&D Day... too much promos left over. It was mostly an exercise in doing an interesting base, though I've touched up the DDM paintjob a bit as well.

Thanks for looking, and I always dig criticism!

Cheers, LT.
