My Hell Dorado Painting Blog

The finished version at last:



Not quite sure about the next model .. there have been too many cool releases for HD. At least I can catch up a bit painting my armies until we get some new releases.

Oh for crying out loud... go drown yourself in a muddy puddle. Your skills depress the heck out of the rest of us. I wish I had the skill and patience to produce something like that.

That's brilliant mate! I hope when I paint mine he looks half as good as yours.

Nice that you like it. It's just a matter of patience I think - a friend who's a much better painter gave me the advice; simply be stubborn as a mule when painting. I guess around 30h of painting went into Eurynome

I signed up for the "Iron Painter" contest at Wyrd and for this first round I'll paint Don Quichotte - the first time I attempted to paint him around a year ago he was too difficult to paint for me and I never finished him:

The horse is halfway done now - hopefully I'll get him finished in time for the contest.

Very beautyfull indeed !

One remark if I can : don't show the coasts so down on the belly of the horse... it looks strange under the saddle

[Rho]

Thank you for that hint - I was pretty much blind to that. I think it looks better now - but there is a lot of work still to do on that horse.

[Breten]

Absolutely stunning work.

I can't wait to see the finished model.

Here is my finished entry:



I'll add a few extra bits to the base - but I didn't menage to get this done before the deadline.

[Agravain]

What a great job!

reflected lights on the horse are really impressives.

Another WIP - unfortunally I won't finish it in time for the Iron Painter Contest this time and I don't want to rush it after having spent a considerable amount of time into painting already:



C&C appreciated as always

WOW! My favourite version of this mini yet.
I really like the colour of the tail - very natural & much better than the studio colour. The Aqua will work nicely too. Is that to be your 'force' colour?

[occa]

This is looking good! Up to your excellent standard!
