Jester Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Yah, you can cut me open and I bleed, leak spinal fluid, etc... but you can't stop me from painting! (insert maniacal laughter here) Not even on meds... bleh! Of course I haven't been taking any. That may explain a few things... Anyway... There are seven new figures I've completed since my surgery: Space Marine Vet. Sgt.(GW), a Limited Edition Saint Mark (Dark Age), a table-top Djinn for my DM, an Ashigaru Goblin Leader (Rackham), the Undead Lady (Freebooter), High Elf Hero (GW), and the Crossbowman Deserter (Rackham). That's a bit of painting... they aren't perfect, but if you want perfection go look someplace else... With so many of them I'll just link them to their individual pages: Space Marine Vet. Sgt. This was a test coloration on the Raptor coloration I may use. Or may not... but it was down and dirty and worked out fairly well. I have a few things I'll be doing for GD Chicago this year. Limited Edition Saint Mark This is a piece I got from a contest win, and decided to finally paint him up. It was also a piece I used for a Gold NMM test coloration. Pretty happy with the bright yellow look for him... although I'm told he's supposedly a dirty, grungy type of piece... thus "Dark"... Djinn This piece was a quick 1 hour piece that I grabbed up from my DM's (Buggeye) piles of unpainted miniatures. So, it was wham, ala-kazam, a painted Djinn! I left the base undone, as Buggeye likes to do the flocking himself... Ashigaru Goblin Leader This piece was just plain FUN! Undead Lady Ok, but why does a skeleton have b**bs??? A very wicked piece and all those bows almost makes me long for the buckles. Nah, not really... High Elf Hero Well, I believe in having a back-up character for my current one in the Age of Worms adventure at Buggeye's. Well, I had this miniature, and the concept came to me, so I painted him up. But he looks way too nice to get manhandled by all the other players... so he's going to be doing something else soon. But I really like the piece, just not the shine that I need to fix with another shot of Dull Coat on the back. and FINALLY... Crossbowman Deserter This really was a piece that screamed "PAINT ME" when I saw him. I did not like the clumpy MSP paint that I had to deal with for the greens. Must have been a bad batch, but in the end I got it fixed up enough. This guy will probably be headed to that great auction house in cyberspace at some point soon... So as you can plainly see... (insert maniacal laughter here) I'm painting again. Thanks for looking them all over. Yah, I'm back. *takes a drag off the corn-cob pipe* EDIT - LINKS FIXED I HOPE!!!

Kelcore Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Good batch, Rob! I particularly like the St. Mark and the Ashigaru. Both are super-sweet sculpts that I'm a big fan of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutebutpsycho Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Don't want me manhandling your elf mini, huh? The shield design turned out nice! I guess you're just going to have to come up with something else for me to manhandle then..... Oh well, at least it'll keep you painting!

mattmcl Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Good God. In that timeframe I'm half-way done with ONE, and he still won't look that good. I LOVE the undead lady, beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slidedog Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Great work! Maybe she still has b**bs because they were silicone to begin with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan6 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Not too shabby Rob. I like the Marine best, but thats because he looks like a Dark Angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHatedDM Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Can I be like you when I grow up? Hehe Anyways I like them all, I'm not to keen on the futuristic stuff, but way cool job on them. DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voladilk Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 My favourite is the crossbowman. Now I am going to have to go out and get it...no matter that my paintjob will be nowhere near as good as yours, but that model just looks so COOL!!!! Very nice work mate! Glad to see you are painting again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flit Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Yea! Jester is painting again! Glad you are feeling well enough to paint. Nice batch of minis there. What a surprise to see the Djinn. I painted one of those in the first year I was painting minis, lo these many years ago. Mine is so old it is cast from lead! And yours looks better than mine too. My favorite of the bunch is the elf though. Can't have too many elves around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Terrain Monkey Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Great stuff Jester; I really like the Goblin! I mean, the rest are spiffy, but that one seems to have the best pop n' stuff. Good to see you're back (or your back's back). I just think it's silly you keep looking to major surgery to get a break from painting; most people just take a normal vacation .

Paintrix Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I think many of us will, in fact, keep on painting for some time after we are dead. Love the crossbowman and the undead lady! (Myself, I had to buy the Rackham geisha goblin, despite my vow to never again paint greenskins; that line is just too funny.) Great to see you functioning again. --Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
