Stubbdog Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I very much enjoyed painting up Tre Manor's Damian Helthorne for Reapercon 2008. After the zoom in I can see where I still have a ton of work in the smoothing of my blends, but overall I am very happy with this piece. It will be fun to see if I can improve more and see how things turn out next year. Thank you for taking the time to look. http://www.coolminiornot.com/191274 . .

Nial ap Morai Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Stub, that's a good job on the fig. I think CMoN didnt give you enough credit. I like the rugged look and the shield work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think, to avoid confusion, that it should be pointed out that this piece took the Silver in the DHL Large category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think the photo is letting you down on CMON. I've seen your painting and know that it is much smoother that what the face looks like in that pic. Excellent mini! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Excellent mini, Stub...it was great meeting you, and sharing a few spring rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Lurker Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I agree that it is a very nice mini... but it looks different than I remember it. Did you add some sort of big base to it at the last minute? It seems like I remember it being recessed inside a black tube or something. Or am I remembering someone elses? Oh well, at any rate, a big Congrats to you for Silver Sophie in such a difficult category! You rocked it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Midnight lurker: It was recessed in a tube, he removed it for photographing. Jason: I don't think your picture does this piece any justice really. Since I held the actual entry in my hand and looked at it I know the picture doesn't show it's true worth.

Stubbdog Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks for all the comments. I am happy with my paintjob, but the camera doesnt lie. I still have a ton of work to do in terms of glazing and smoothing out blends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Same here with the photo Stub, very nice layout but it doesn't do the work you put into it the justice you deserve. Congrats again on your placing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think CMoN didnt give you enough credit. I think in general, Reaper minis get a bit of the cold shoulder from the CMoN crowd. Congrats on the trophy! I really like the weathering and freehand on the shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pae Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I agree that it is a very nice mini... but it looks different than I remember it. Did you add some sort of big base to it at the last minute? It seems like I remember it being recessed inside a black tube or something. Or am I remembering someone elses? You are remembering correctly. With the base, it was 3" tall, putting it out of the DHL single category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 I removed the base after all the negative remarks it got. Unfortunately it was after the judging. Or maybe it was fortunate. Looking at the DHL small category, I think I would probably not have placed at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
