[Painted Minis] My wife's minis.

LOL

She was always asking us why we played with such boring mini's. One of us jokingly mentioned that she was welcome to paint them and she said that'd be fun. She got all excited about it and now she's got a full set up with a magnifying glass/halogen desk lamp (I think for use with circuitboards), an art desk devoted to it, and lord knows how much acrylic paint.

She gets in the mood every now and then and just sits over there merrily for hours painting away on the little guys. Our battle maps have never been so colorful. :)

Lol, like I said, hope my hubby doesn't see this thread, I'm already doing his campaign sketches, and now we started on a D20 book, which I'm illustrating...He set me up with an online art gallary and fixed up a 2nd computer for me, hoping I might gain some commissions, lol.. My eyes are bad as it is, can't see me sitting down with those mini's and trying to paint, lol. My glasses are a bit magnifying, so to have a magnifying glass to boot, I'd look like a loony toon, lol............:D
 


WOW!
I am very impressed. I love miniatures, but I am not talented when it comes to painting them.
Please keep posting pictures if you can.

I am glad now I did not get the hubris to bring my "best efforts" to that LOTR competition at Lone Star! It saved my pride for a little while!

Great job!
 

NIIIICCCEEEE!

BTW: Does anyone recognize that mounted knight and the guy in full plate? I wouldn't mind owning those miniatures, but I have no idea what they're called or who makes them.
 

The mounted knight is this little dinky plastic hollow mini that for some reason Leslie picked to paint. There was no detail to it, she liked the broad open spaces to improvise. But the horse was this dull gray cheap plastic and the rider was a normal mini that came with it I believe, if that helps you or someone else track it down.

The armored knight with the sword upraised I couldn't tell you anything about. :(

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'll try to get Leslie on to comment. Look for more pictures Thursday. :D
 


Nice Work!

If you aren't doing it already you could easily pick up a bit of extra cash painting Minis

THe market in some areas is intense heck I know of one person who makes it his day job and from what I am able to tell from the photos your work is as good.
