Hey all. Was wondering if someone who's bought some Raphael 8404s recently could help me out. I bought a couple of their brushes many months back and they quickly lost their ability to hold a point. This was unexpected as older Raphaels I have still maintain a good point. Then I saw this: http://www...

Thanks for the feedback, Maru. I see what you mean about the cloak. I'll keep it in mind for next time. Heads, too. I was pretty happy with the base but I guess he could stand to be a little taller. I've got a guy with some basic plinths, though, so I'll be adding some in a while. The off compositio...

Hi all! Been a while since I was here. Unfortunately college and life got in the way and I haven't been painting a lot of better pieces for a while, but I thought I'd share with you my latest: Wurrzag! http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m482/marsforthemuses/Tabletop%20Plus1/Wurrzag/DSC_0870_zpskybe...

I like it, particularly the NMM and some of the highlighting. It is a little clean looking for a lizard, though, but that's a matter of taste.

How did you highlight the scales on his back and the green skin, if you don't mind my asking?

These are really lovely pieces. I prefer the knight, though. something about the red doesn't quite fit the rest of da rock for me. Still, fantastic work.

How do you get the highlights to look so natural and realistic, particularly the knight's face and green cloth?

Yeah. Seeing them beside all the others and I really wish I'd put more time into the bases. My main notes from the experience: Bases NEED more work and will be the focus of my next few models. I've still got links I think you gave me before Maru which will be really helpful. Models are too bright. I...

First off, thanks to everyone for commenting in my WIP thread. I tried to make the most of your input and I definitely think it made a difference. Anyway, here are my GD pieces (still using phone camera sadly but should have a new one soon). I'd really like to be a finalist tomorrow but having seen ...

Thanks for the comments guys. Sorry about the photos. Stuck using my phone. :( Anyway, hopefully these will be better. And something else I'm working on. Let me know what you think, particularly Eowyn's sword. :) Also, these pics are exaggerated in their brightness. Will get some in natural light to...

So I'm hoping this will be an entry for GD. I know it's not my best, but here goes. http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m482/marsforthemuses/TinyWorksofArt/DSC_0278_zps8b72a400.jpg http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m482/marsforthemuses/TinyWorksofArt/DSC_0279_zpsa75a415e.jpg http://i1128.photobuck...

Hey everyone. Been a while and unfortunately haven't painted much in the interim. Hoping this year will be different. Working on some stuff for golden demon right now but thought I'd share this, painted a few months ago. http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m482/marsforthemuses/Favourites/P1010341_zp...
