N0rdicNinja Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Way above and beyond what's necessary for table top, damn good job. Did you free hand that Tat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razide Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 That Executioner's belly tattoo is a real standout. The Guild bases seem to go together well and the outcasts too. They're all very well painted and must look good on the the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Thanks. Yes the tat is free-hand. I scouted the web for some ram-skull pictures and merged two that I liked together. I do lots of free-hand stuff like that. Here's a taste of my Hordes Trolls for more free-hand stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeafNala Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 VERY COOL minis & some GREAT looking bases. VERY WELL DONE! :fing02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rdicNinja Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Dude, that Earthborn is sick! I bow down to your freehand skills, and you motivate me to practice more. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaace Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I must join the crowd of saying that the freehand on the executioner is very well done, along with the painting on the rest of the crews. Did you make the bases or are they bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Awesome, lovely models. The tattoo on the Executioner, the bright colours on the Outcasts and the cohesive basing are my favourite parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacTilion Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Very nice minis !!! Excellent paint job !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Thanks folks. @mechaace - the bases are bought from Microart studios. I must admit I've had lots of experience. I have a 2-yr degree in Commercial Illustration so I know all about color theory and what-not. I've been playing and painting for about 10 years now and really only in the last couple of years have my skills moved to that 'next' level where I feel confident doing all that crazy little stuff. If anyone has any questions I'm happy to field them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Here's my Thaniras Elf fleet from Uncharted Seas. All free-hand. The images I used are pictures from the Hubble telescope. If you're into astronomy, you'll probably recognize some. The Battleship and Cruiser squadron 2 Frigate squadrons and the entire fleet.

N0rdicNinja Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 @dgraz: Dude... you make me want to cry... seriously. XD If you placed stuff like that on the table opposite me I would immediately concede defeat. I would of course still play, but only to retain some form of dignity, as it would be clear that I'm already losing the battle. =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 That's the whole point. I can't play for shit so I hope to dazzle my opponents with crazy painting so they can't pay attention to what they're doing.:whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Here's Papa Loco, the Convict Gunslinger and Misaki. I spent a little extra time on Misaki and I was pretty happy with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Are these pictures popping up larger when you click on them? They don't seem to be doing that for me and I don't know if that's me or the image setting I chose from photobucket. Please let me know since you can't see shit with these little pictures and that's a real waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Feral Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Lovely stuff. You've got a really nice bold style, I rather like the Convict Gunslinger's trousers and the patterns on Misaki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know since you can't see shit with these little pictures and that's a real waste. Allow pop ups on this site and you will get a second window open showing you the picture properly on photobucket site. Great work. Those last ones have a very bold painting style. I bet they look fantastic on the table as it would catch the eye easily from distance. Great free hand. You make me weep... I think I need to practice, practice, practice!

dgraz Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Thanks for the comments. I knew it had to be me with the sizes-I'm uhh computer-dumb. @swordofjustice - that's what it is, practice. It took me a long time to get to this point. Keep trying new techniques. I've been putting off trying NMM because it intimidates me for some reason. I tried it for the first time on Misaki and I don't think it looks terrible. Some more practice and I'll get it.

dgraz Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Haven't done much lately, but I just did my Cerberus in a Snow Leopard theme and figured I'd share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiZombie Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hey dgraz love ur stuff ( especially those ships). You definitly have the skills for nmm. Just look at light reflecting off of real metal and you'll get a sense of the coloring. Highlights usually follow along the line of the forged edges instead of across the flat areas like on your miasaki. And you can adjust the dark or light of the metal midtone based on what's around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etna's Vassal Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Arrrrrrgh! You just serve to rub in how awful my painting skills are! Seriously though, amazing work. It reminds me of an old White Dwarf article, "You May Have Won, But My Army Looks Better". Not to cast aspersions on your generalship, but you'll ALWAYS have that to fall back on!:thumb: ...Now to get back to painting terribly... :bawling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
