LordDarcy Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I like your work. This is a really good version of Lilith. Thanks for sharing your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Great work on everything so far. Love the character on the waif especially. And your Avatar Zoraida is fantastic. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Thanks guys! I'm hoping I'll get more painting time in tomorrow and so can work on my Oiran some more. It's nice having some weekends again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Tat's probably the best painted Orian I've seen so far. NMM looks excellent, especially taking into account how small these minis are. Getting nice and smooth highlights on them is an achievement in itself and doing it NMM deserves recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Aww, thanks. I'm taking another look at her today and will hopefully finish her up. Then I need to find some more minis to practice NMM on. Yay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentbadger Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Great work so far on the Oiran. The face is amazing, I am in awe that you can put make-up on a miniature this scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Thanks Argentbadger! I ended up redoing the face a bit yesterday and gave her a bit of eyeshadow. I'll hopefully be able to take photos later this week and you can all help me see what I missed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 So here's how my Oiran looks after a bit more work on her last weekend. Is there anything else that needs more work or can I declare her finished? I also did some more work on Gandalf (he's most certainly not finished but I need a break from painting white) but I won't be able to get the photos up for a while.

Mako Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Looks pretty damn awesome to me, I'd say she's good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 That's good to hear! I need to get on with my vast backlog of minis. Thanks so much for the tips on the metallics - she looks so much better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Anytime, I've been working metallics to get to a point where I'm happy with them for ages, no sense me not sharing! What's on the backlog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I can't even remember any more! I'm avoiding going near my drawer of unpainted minis. I know I've got some Avatars to paint, and I think the Victorias, and then there are lots and lots of random minis accumulated since I discovered this hobby. It's nice to have them but I think they need a bit more love than they're getting. Anyway, I decided to do without more sleep and sort out my photos of Gandalf. He needs lots more work but is at least covered in paint so won't make me feel too guilty while I neglect him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 That's one fine looking Oiran, I wouldn't change anything as she looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks Viruk! More painting will be done this weekend I hope. I know what not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Finally, another update. I haven't managed a huge amount of painting recently, and so these are all rough quick jobs that need more work when I have more time. Please point out anything you notice needs improvement! Otherwise I'm liable to overlook things when I finish them up. First up is Simulacrum 29. He isn't my favourite mini by any stretch of the imagination so was just quickly dry brushed and washed in different colours. At some point I need to work out how to put a Bane mask on him. Then there's this little guy. He's standing on a 40mm base (that isn't finished) and I've been meaning to paint him up for a couple of years now. I felt like painting something cute that was already assembled and easy to do. This is the one I'm happiest with as I managed to paint a different skin colour to what I normally do. I've no idea how to base her though - any suggestions? The main thing I have going round my head at the moment is a photoshoot as she's clearly posing rather than doing something effective. As I've said before, any comments and criticism would be greatly appreciated! And I'll try and get some more work done soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Nice stuff so far. For the pirate, cliché, but maybe try a planked balsa base to look like decking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Heel Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I like your Oiran better than any I've seen. NMM, flower motif, sheer stockings...all good stuff. :Powerful_Puppet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks guys! Yeah, decking (and beaches) seem to be what's used most often. And it does work very well! And most importantly is easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBugman Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Nice job with the Sim-29. Personally, you've managed to make a less than attractive model better looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Thanks JBugman. I can't say I'm a fan of the model, but it's looking much better covered in paint and lots of different coloured washes than it did when it was sitting there, looking at me reproachfully for not even being primed! I've done one small change to it that I'll try and take photos of in the next couple of days, and I might even smooth out some of the layers if I can be bothered.

Wings Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Small update! Last weekend I started working on a couple of tiny little Hasslefree minis. Here's where I'm going so far with Brooke. I did my last day of serious commuting today - on to (paid!) jobs that are much nearer my home now. Hopefully more painting will happen as a result!

Wings Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I seem to have an aversion to making bases. A bit more painting has happened, and I'm trying out taking photos with non-white backgrounds. Needs a bit of work but it looks a lot better already (I think). First up is a slightly amended Simulacrum 29. I've retouched some of the metals and painted his mask on. I've also started assembling and painting the Viks. Here's where I am so far - she's a bit too dark at the moment but hopefully I'll manage to balance that out as I finish her. And finally here's the other Hasslefree mini I started painting recently. As always comments and criticisms are much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durek Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Orian is very nice, such a wide range of mini styles, I myself like to vary the content to help not kill the joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Thanks durek! One of the nice things about not actually playing (and my boyfriend not either at the moment) is I tend to get to paint whatever I fancy. It's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Great looking stuff! You are very good at painting skin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
