Mahon's Holy And Most Merciful Quest

[mahon]

thanks guys.

I don't think I'm gonna be any less busy than now I simply have to learn to say to myself some things are less important than my hobbies. That's it

Actually I thought the sculpt isn't bad initially (before I noticed details like the stake etc.)
I still like the model and I initially wanted it for my own collection, but painting it for Skrit made it even more enjoyable.

That's where my and Ana's opinions differ - she thinks the sculpt's very good and the Dracula-like vampire from reaper is much worse, while I like such simple sculpts. I am afraid there are not too many complex/detailed minis I will paint

Hi Mahon, nice to see something painted by you.
Although I share the meaning that the sculpt is not very attractive,
I really like the way you have painted his face and the collar. The smoothness
is also something I envy. I'm not a big fan of the colors, though, I mean the transitions
on the sleeves from purple to navy blue are to quick (the shadows go too high for me).

Nevertheless, the overall impression is very positive. Nice work!

great to see this piece painted
hope to see more carossa deaders from under your brush

IMO it's not the Reaper sculpt that is simplier, it's GW one that is overloaded

[Skrit]

btw, what's next on your painting agenda, when you make time through your busy schedule of course

That's simple, paint a mini for me for MEIII!

As I said before I really like it! The model looks even much better than seen here. Especially like the nailpolish this 'guy' has!

Isn't that true with alot of the GW stuff tho?

[Nameless]

it is arctica, it is

[mahon]

@Marek - thanks, I can't disagree.

@Demi_morgana - well, I don't think I'll paint any more of them. The next one is probably Zardoz, then some simple minis like hasslefree stuff. From difficult stuff I have to finish I should mention Tom Meier's pirate (looks like 54mm on photos while it's about 30-32mm) and one space marine veteran.

@Nameless & Arctica - rrrright

[Nameless]

that pirate sculpt is soo cool. Can't recall it right now - was it released by Thunderbolt?

[mahon]

nope. the green was purchased with production rights by Hasslefree Miniatures.
there was a regular white metal edition and a special limited edition cast in resin.
