That's an easy one.... the classic quote:
"God gave man both a brain & a penis, but only enough blood to operate one at a time."
Hoff's a cripple, but still a man damnit!
Hoffman is British. It would be ENTIRELY unbecoming of a fine gentleman of high standards to refuse helping out a lady in distress!

Wow, some really nice work you have there. And except for a few miniatures here and there, they don't really have obvious signs of being speed painted. I also must commend you on your base work, most impressive. I was mostly just a "throw some sand down and paint" kind of guy so I'm really happy with the Wyrd base inserts, but I can respect the time that goes into a custom base, and well executed can take a model to the next level.
And yeah, isn't the Dead Justice set just the bomb, as a modeler and painter more than a gamer, it was that set and Miss Demeanor that put Wyrd right back on ,my radar after returning from an unanticipated hobby hiatus. I'm working on that set (and my first Guild of the Living Dead models) right now, they are very sharp and characterful sculpts. I'm almost tempted to pick up a second set myself, just to have in case.
Nice Avatar conversion by the way. Conversions are one of my favorite parts of the hobby, always love seeing some nicely executed ones. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff and thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I should probably amend that it's not really speed-painting per-se, just being very quick in how I go about it. Modeling, for me, is about 80% planning, 20% execution; I almost always have a clear idea of how I plan to paint something even before I put it together, so when I bust out the paints I'm already halfway done (in my mind anyway).

Blue/orange contrast, eh? Movie-poster crew!
I like it. Can't quite tell of the female gunsmith's coat has painted reflection on it, or it's just your light source doing that (if you DID paint it like that, bravo!). The pistols themselves could use a little sprucing up, however; they seem bland compared to the rest. Perhaps a wooden under slung handle or a touch of brass?
The color transition on the EoP are lovely, as are the glow effects, but the white near the base of the flames seems too harsh. Not something you can really work away from, given the nature of white paint being a fickle mistress, but just an observation.

(and by cleaning, I mean ohgodsomuchdust)
Yeah, so I paint models. A lot of them. Very quickly, in fact--I'm a bit of a speed painter, more out of habit than anything else. Most models are painted in about a day, usually in groups of 2-3, more if I'm keeping it simple or really got the flow going.
My camera is also terrible, and while I usually edit them through GIMP they don't always come out well. I'm working on that, honest.

The glow effect isn't too noticable here, mostly because I cannot into photographing.

I actually painted the inside, but you can't really tell even if you hold the model up.

Exorcist. Not actually used him yet, and will probably have him roll with Sonnia when I get her. Model is from Reaper, the zombie is from Mantic, crossbow is off some Warmachine model.

Commissions.
These are all from one guy, the totally awesome bro-tastic Abdiel. Note that this isn't even half the model he's commissioned me for; some I simply forgot to take pictures of before handing them off to him. I'll rectify that shortly. Also note that the photos here aren't great, since it was when I had crap lighting in my house (nevermind my camera is far from good) or taken quickly at the LGS.

Dead Justice set. God, I had SO MUCH FUN painting these guys, kind of kicking myself for not buying a set.

Finally, at the very end, my Avatar Rasputina. Made about a month ago or so, long before the announcement of its impending release. The model is Dark Age Miniature's ice elemental; Raspy's body was a greensculpt cast of a Confrontation miniature, the arms of which were sculpted by my good friend Doc. The head, as well, was done by Doc, since I kept getting frustrated at trying to do it and he's better at that stuff than I am (just look at his Simulacrum 29!). Those ice crystals on the base and back? Sprue, cut down individually and glued in place.
Photo's were taken by my friend Jen, with her amazing $500 camera.

I blame the drugs for the colorscheme...

The "patient copy" is a nice touch.
