Cool minnie? XD

Seriously, CMON is a strange place. I ceased to ask myself why people vote in a way or another. This ogre got as average 6.6, that is quite good in my view. It's not perfect, and was painted for playing; so I'm quite satisfied with the judgement. This said, is really difficult to earn a vote superior to 7 from many users if you ain't Jakob Nielsen, Matt Sterbenz, Fil Dunn or Victoria Lamb (the first I get into my mind)... so, being not a demon winner nor a 'eavy metal painter (though I'm a heavy metal guy lol), I just post for the sake of doing it :)

Kera foehunter:

there two many ringer there so i don’t post my figures there

but there are some great painters

Kawazu:

Lately I’ve been busy with some minis out from my usual range, because I’m preparing a couple of things for the italian GD of this year (around october).

And I’m painting this one for my girlfriend :slight_smile:





It’s a limited edition sorceress from Dark Sword Miniatures.

It’s my first time with a non-GW mini, and let me say it’s a challenge. The sculpt is lovely, and kudos go to the scupltor for being able to make such microscopical details… when I’ll finish it I’ll take a pic with a coin as a reference. The only thing I don’t like in it is the casting metal (too much lead, pretty easily deformable) and the price (23 �,� with shipping :~, they don’t have good distribution in Europe).

I’m going to put it on a scenic base, and I’m building it from an old citadel paint cap (a classic), modelling a little cliff on it with insulation foam and green stuff. Then I’ll put that stone floor that was in the mini’s blister.

The green stuff is still curing, and then it’s going to be entirely covered by texturized paint, so don’t mind to its look now :smiley:

Kawazu:

I finished the sorceress today, and based it.

I slightly changed the base because that green stuff looked just a big pile of rubbish…







The fleurs de lys on the base are made by following a tutorial from Matt Parkes (about Bretts) found on a old WD from 2004.

Kawazu:

Here are some better pics of the sorceress, plus a comparative pic with a coin (to show how tiny it is) and a closeup of the face :wink:









Thanks for looking! :hat off

That’s a low cut dress, I was almost expecting a “nip-slip”. What scale is the model?

Haha, you're not the only one who said :D
It's 38mm tall from feet to head, slightly taller than a plaguebearer. Though the details are sooo small...

Kera foehunter:

Say it to the commenters, not to me :P

Kawazu:

After many many months I managed to finish something! :stuck_out_tongue:

I said I’m epically slow…

Here’s a knight from my WIP chaos army. I tried a technique found on CMoN and I’m totally pleased with the result :slight_smile:







Let me know what you think about it :hat off
