Skavenblight's Hired Swords [and Dramatis Personae too]

Time for another works...

Arabian Merchant for Kapitan Hak


...and his bodyguard


Skaven highwayman



Imperial Assassin for Kapitan Hak.


My halflings [thief and scout] and imperial assassin.



Elf mage for Kapitan Hak.


My elf mage.


Warlock for Kapitan Hak.


That's not the end

greatly painted I love the halfling!

Sweet stuff, Skavenblight. I love that Skaven highwayman and the lighting effects from the stones and flames, they just bring a touch of realism to the models that are usually missing.

Can't wait to see the rest.

Also, I'm not sure if it's me but it looks like Fatima is wearing glasses from wear I'm sitting. Makes her look like a kick-arse version of Velma from Scooby-Do! Could just be the cheap monitor I use at work distorting the pic though.

OH MY GOD!

Those ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL! You ARE a VERY talented person! The Skaven Highwaymanrat is my personal favorite, although the Arab Merchant's Body Guard is REALLY one of the loveliest minis I've EVER seen, & the light effect on the Elf Mage IS spectacular, er... I LOVE 'EM ALL!

Have I mentioned that your boy friend is one lucky dude... I thought so.

Thanks

It's a mini from Reaper, Dark Heaven Legends. I don't know exactly the name... oh, here it is: http://reapermini.com/FigureFinder#detail/02433

Awesome, thanks skavenblight!

wow! briliant work, the way you have done the lights of the fire in front of the models is claerly great!, i dont surpirse, viewing your artwork, i know that its very easy for you, i ve never get this level , i love the way you paint your models, ill must learn

Yeah, nice job on the light source! I've always wanted to try this but have yet to.

I don't know why I forgot about this mini...
This was my best work of June 2008
I tried to fight my stress before exams so I started painting one day before. This is my most beloved Mordheim mini, I painted more of them... I hope one day I will have not only one, two, or three Mariannas, but the whole army of them!

LOVELY MINI!

I LOVE your choice of colors & the smooth skin effect; you CAN be justifiably proud of your craftmanship. This is the BEST rendition of Mme. Chevaux I have seen, including th one I just completed. VERY, VERY WELL DONE!

A superb paint job on a gorgeous mini! I envy you and Hak for your collection of (painted!) warbands, dramatic personae, hired swords and stuff. I've still a long way to go to match this

Ok, how did you paint her? She's beautiful!!

How?
It was not so hard...

I use always Vallejo model paints.

Skin - royal purple + beige red + white

Hair - hull red + red + deep yellow

The robe (or whatever is that... ) - royal purple + red + deep yellow

Wow! That Marriana model is fantastic! Beautiful painting - the shading/highlighting is fantastic!

And you're right - it's a fantastic model.

I think the painting on all of these if fantastic. I sepecially love the lighting effects as well.

I can dream that one day I'll be that good a painter...

Time to update this topic

This is my new mini, Johann the Knife.

Sweet! Great job! He looks like a skilled Duelist.

Just WOW Your painting skills always amazed me, and this time it goes above and beyond. I keep on trying to be a quarter as good as you are, maybe one day.
Cant wait to see more of your work

Drugart

Woah, great work!

From the pics I have seen of Johann so far, I always though he was not one of the best minis and I would have never bought him. Seeing him now... it's a great mini and you paintjob fits him just perfect!

OH BABY!

VERY, VERY NICE WORK! I LOVE your choice of colors; the scarlet looks SO good. You transformed him from a knife slingiing, low life assassin into a Dashing Swashbucker. VERY COOL!

Skavenblight :O

You have truly AMAZING painting skills!

Superb lighting effects, perfect shades...

I am NOT worthy

I especially love the way that you "named" your mini's on the base. So crisp and mordheimy!!!

HOW did you manage to do that

Wow! Is their any more?

Your skill with a brush makes me want to paint to a higher quality, your lighting and shading is very fine tuned and I have to say that the Warlock is my favorite but my love of the Skaven has the Highway Rat above the rest.

Really good job.
