Maudeheim & Environs Part I: Updated 10/29/13

Thanks for the kind words, Guys.
@Demoriel: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll experiment on one of the pieces to see how the gloss effect looks.

I took a couple of W.I.P. photos of the WONDERFUL Jareth & Hoggle minis that drakkol made for moi.







Cool, huh! Now I hope my paint job will be worthy of my friend's efforts.

Those look cool! Looking forward to seeing your paint job.

I think drakkol did a SPLENDID job with the minis. Here's Hoggle in glorious full color...mostly:







As always, your commentary would be GREATLY appreciated.

Wow! Excellent job. Fast, too. The face looks really good, and I love your color pallet. When's Jareth gonna be done?

Hoggle does look spledid. The lad does seem to missing a pint in that right hand though.

Hoggle looks great!

It's a real pleasure see my work improved by your painting! I love it!
Although I told it yet...CHAPEAU my dear friend!

Thanks, Guys. Jareth is underway; thus far I've finished his base...so ever-so-so progress.
Hoggle's grumpy disposition may very well be explained by the lack of a pint/fifth/whatever.

hej, thats a surprise, but who else but an absolute fanatic concerning the labyrinth could have earned the honour for recieving those awesome sculpts of the great italian artist known as leo....., oh know, drakkol, right thats him.

Fantastic models, and a superb paintjob on hoggle mr. deafnala, cant wait to see jareth. Who´s next, i would vote for the little machinegun guy in the end, getting squashed under this lubo-rock, that would be a challenge, or what?!

Cool stuff! Wonderful to see those two beloved characters rendered as miniatures. Good work drakkol, and with Nalas brushwork Hoggle really came to life!

Thanks guys...you make me blush...

They're not that good...But luckly (for me) DeafNala is improving them much with his painting.

Thanks Guys...glad you liked what I did with Hoggle.
From an unbiased perspective, I think my painting at best compliments the SPLENDID job drakkol did creating him. The Jareth mini also sports some really cool details; the tiny mushroom next to him & another around behind have exquisite little faces sculpted onto them. AND there's a tethering ring fashioned like The Door Knockers from the film....definitely COOL & CHALLENGING pieces.

AND VIOLA Jareth has joined his Flunky as a completed piece. SO without further ado, some TRULY MEDIOCRE photos:









AND the prerequisite Group Shot:



Once more your comments & critiques are requested.

Thanks Alan for your speed! I hope you enjoyed painting them. You colours covered some of my errors but made some others come out(not your fault...but mine). I'll try to do better with next minis...

great paint job nala, jareth and hoggle together, they look awesome, big compliment to bothe the sculpter and the painter!

Thanks, Guys! I've been concentrating on The Spooky Woods just long enough that doing the minis was at once refreshing & frustrating. I'm glad you liked the results.

I think Jareth came out great. I like your color choices.

Frustrating? 0_o

Good job on those bases too...

Thanks again, Guys!
I went with the red coat to give him a Ring Master feel...there are some Carnival minis in the works including other drakkol originals.

...only in the sense that I was out off practice with the minis; SO everything seem to take longer & was more labored.

Thanks...I love doing bases; it's a form of mental illness.

Oh...i'm mental ill too. XD

Are you talking about Da Amparor? Will you paint it? ^_^

This REALLY is proving to be addictive. Be that as it may, here are three more reason to believe I severed the last of my tenuous hold on Reality:

I'm not all that sure what the Little Beasty in the center is, but he was fun to make up. His larges Flora Friends aren't thrilled with the way the neighborhood is going:









As always, your perspective on the Thingies would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

That is obviously a pumpkin...it decided to take a look around and see the world.
Horns are there because they prevent bad things to come too coser to "Mrs Orange"


Great model!

Awesome trees and creatures! I can't get enough of them!

The little thing that could walk looks very promising... not too sure about its pumpkinness, though - a more likely explanation is that things like that arise from the infernal dimensions of filth you might find in swamps, sewers, and under my bathtub...
