Looks amazing! The detail of those scales is crazy. Beautiful work!

Mostly back to normal here in Florida (at least where I live).

Heavy Metal of almost any kind, with a strong preference to Viking Metal (I am a walking cliché).

It looks amazing! I love that this is a "quick job", it would take me months to do something this nice, and i doubt It'd be even half as good.

WOW!! That is some amazing work on a very cool piece. It looks very intricate and you did a great job with the details!!

Thanks for the praise everyone!!!!! I feel like the pictures don't do it the justice it deserves, I did some nice shadowing effects...but I am also probably biased 😁. I may do a base, but the sad fact is I am not very good at making those. Every attempt I've made looks silly and I am not good with the flocking powders.

Hello All! After a nearly 2 year hiatus from painting (PhD program was very demanding), I have returned to the joy of our hobby. I painted this mean fellow up over the last week. I am fairly pleased with the outcome, The eyes were a nightmare and I forgot how much I dislike metallic paints, but it feels great to be painting again. I forgot how relaxing and pleasing it can be. I am happy to be back with you all as well. Let me know what you think of my work!!!

Thanks! She has never jumped up on the desk before honestly. I think she just didn't like my work. I'd like to think it was good enough that she felt that this new evil creature needed to be destroyed. Thanks! It is actually just the way the mini was sculpted. It is really the only thing I dislike about it and it made it really difficult to get even half-decent pictures. Thanks, Cyradis, it is good to be back. I think the photos don't capture the highlights as much as I'd like but I do need to learn more techniques. I was actually happy with the eyes, they are mostly looking in the same direction and I think may be the best I have done to date.

This is the first mini I have painted in several months. Overall I am pleased; some parts came out better than others. I originally had the right arm well fitted and smoothly integrated into the mini...then the cat jumped on the desk and knocked it over and the arm somehow popped right off. I tried to make it look good, but the parts just didn't want to fit together anymore. I feel like there is more I could do, but the point of this mini was to get me back into painting and I know if I continue to obsess over the details, I will grow bored. The pictures (as usual) don't do it full justice. Comments and Critiques always welcome. Thanks, everyone!

That looks amazing! I wish I had your skills! I agree with your players, that is far more than "just" a tabletop paint job. Beautiful!

Looks outstanding! I imagine that somehow he can make his little mandolin sound like sweet sweet death metal.

These look amazing. I too love the water around the feet. More importantly, that blue just looks phenomenal. Well done!

This looks fantastic! I like the suspenders and shirt the most, the contrasting on the shirt looks great and you did a nice job on the buttons.

It has happened many times. Consider the Scots and their kilts. They fought "free".
