Darkstar Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I painted this chap up a couple weeks ago, thought I'd share him with you, seeing how the lot of you seem to enjoy seeing a little freehand painting... Big minis are easier to paint, so I went all out. He's a little over 2" tall. The sword looks a little hokey, but I was thinking of the way NMM would work in the desert and this is what I came up with. The pants have designs based upon a Tibetan painting that I saw. I'm really happy with the Gold chains and bracelets...Should've written that recipe down, I can't seem to match it this week. Oh well that'll teach me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatsu Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Darkstar, It's truly ironic, because I have been watching your stuff heavily on eBay before I had registered on these forums. It's surreal to now see the exact same miniatures I've been watching displayed by you with your own descriptions. Truly appreciate your work. Can't wait to see what's next!

Gus Landt Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Quit putting up awesome minis that you've already sold!! Makes us collector's squirm in our seats knowing we can never have it! The gold you did is amazing! Especially the necklace. If you rediscover your formula, PLEASE share it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Colorful! Very nice freehand too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Those pants are freeking amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital M@ Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 My favorite part is the skin tones, they are quite good. Those pants remind me of Genie pajama pants. The freehand raocks and I really like the sword. Big flat blades are difficult to make interesting and this one definitely catches the eye.

Errex Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Impressive!. The blue tattoo over red skin is very well done, and the overall composition is also very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourningcloud Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 heh the sword is not hokey-it looks like it is nmm reflecting a desert mirage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Thanks all for your comments, much obliged @tatsu: thanks for your interest and keep watching as there's much more to come! @Gus: Still looking, painting some gold NMM tomorrow, thinking of trying to rediscover this combo...I think it's Charcoal Grey, then Cobra leather, then ??? then Skull white. @Enchantra, Bill_Adcock, DIgital m@, Errex, Spartan 6 and styates, greetz and thanks! @Morning cloud: You nailed it. That's what I was visualizing before I painted the sword. I was thinking of putting some reflected pyramids in there, but I realized they would have to be extremely far off in the distance to be rendered as recognizable pyramids if I wanted to keep my NMM perspective accurate, so I left it as just the sky. I'm glad that you noticed that though, it's alot more noticable in real life. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ech'Estar Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I agree with the rest, awesome NMM on the gold and the sword! Oh, and the freehand is sweet as well. I'm surprised nobody mentioned the base, it's really cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
