Really good work behind all your figures  Love blue color on Aenur cloak!

Next mini... I'm not really happy with pictures, tomorrow I will maybe have some photos made with some better lighting.

This is beasthunter. I know that the difference between the original mini and my mini is huge, but the picture in Empire in Flames inspired me more than that mini from Mordheim

Lol Natalio....I havn't seen this model before
The idea is great, convertion simple, but charming.
Congratulation - another mini well done

Oh... it's possible, I forgot to put it on Najmita.

Thanks for nice words

Nice work particularly on that blue cloak, the blending from color to color is almost flawless, not being able to tell where one layer starts and another ends. My only criticism would have to be that your level of painting seems to not be steady, meaning some things you paint are good, some are very good, and some are excellent, but nothing is ever bad. Is this because you spend more time or certain models than others?

Im always amazed by your work. Your blending and highlighting skills are far beyond the reach of us mere mortals. I salute you.

These are some cool models, great work! I only think Ulli is getting really lonely

He is not lonely anymore but for minis I need a better camera than that in my mobile phone, so I can't put the pics instantly. But after my exams I'll put pics of all minis that were painted and aren't yet here - also Marquand

Nooo. It's really easy, you need only to practice. I have to paint my minis, and also my boyfriend's minis, so I have always something to paint, but everyone can paint like me.

Yes, you're right. Before I had a little break in painting, I felt terrible - I had many models, not only mine, all that I had to paint quickly, and, what is also important, I didn't really like some of those models, so I couldn't paint it so good as I wanted (and as I could). After that, I thought I will never take my brush anymore but after a month, the love to these hobby was stronger, so I returned. And since this moment I've started learning that the time is not so important as the quality it may be that the older minis (the pics here were uploaded not exactly chronologically) look not so good as the new, but I try always to improve my painting level

WOW! Skavenblight, I have to say, I got more and more impressed as I scrolled through your wonderful creations!

BRAVO!

My favourite (albeit VERY hard to choose from all these great pieces) is Aenur. The lighting on the cloak is just flawless.

I like the way you alternate very bright and very dark colours to create contrast in all of your minis, without making them look too cartoonish.

I'll have to agree with everyone else, Aenur is GEAT!

Wow, I hadn't seen this thread until now. Amazing work!

I absolutely LOVE the skaven highwayman. How was that conversion done? It looks so natural.

The painting on Aenur's cloak is also stunning. I don't typically like that model because all there really is is a fancy cloak, but you have brought that cloak to life.

Great work indeed, aenur and ulli are my favorites...no doubt.
Beautyful...

Nice lightsource paintingskills


EDIT: And yessss, you're right: quality first! no shitty fastpainting.

New mini. Painted 3 months ago, but I had no time to take photos.

Arabian merchant - Abdul - on flying carpet

Ha ha! What an outstanding ocnversion!

How did you do the carpet?

Really excellent!

The carpet is made from imperial battle standard - I don't remember
which (there was one from state troops and one from handgunners...
probably... it was months ago ).

Cool. Great idea.

i really like your paintingstyle
keep up the good work

I think that JUST MIGHT be my favorite of the minis you've done THUS FAR. VERY clever use of various diverse pieces for a TOTALLY UNIQUE & VERY in character mini. You ARE one Talented Young Lady. BEAUTIFULLY DONE!

Great Idea for the carpet! consider it stolen as I have the very same banner lying aroud!

also, great freehands!

Ok, time for highwayman.
Painted 3 months ago. I'm pretty happy with this mini - both conversion and painting

That just MIGHT be the COOLEST of your WONDERFULLY COOL minis thus far. BEAUTIFULLY converted, based, & painted, GREAT choice of colors! AND TOTALLY unique & in character. BRAVO! WELL DONE!

Now I've got to go back for another stare.

nice job
keep it up

i really like him. still cartoon-y but also grim enough to be featured in mordheim proper!

He is cool, I love the idea of a highway man. Did you also made a dismounted version?

No, it would be useless. Everytime he goes out of action, he dies
