Title: My LPL Entries
Post by: Malebolgia on 06 July 2009, 11:30:13 AM: Lead Painter's League 3 - the photos

Hey lads,

So the LPL is finally done. On the one hand I'm very happy as it was a murdering pace and ten weeks was long. On the other hand it's a shame the Monday won't be the same for a while again. Best moment of the week to see so many new entries.
But now it's over I can finally show all detailed shots. I had some problems with the 800x800 sizes and had to cut some corners to get the results. Last Saturday I made a lot of photos of my entries. Although the painting itself involves a lot less layers and blending than what I usually do, I'm very happy with the results.
Enough talking, the photos!

Post by: gamer Mac on 06 July 2009, 11:42:29 AM: Some great figures there :-* :-*
It was a real struggle getting the figures into a 800 x 800 photo. It was my biggest problem of the whole LPL.
Your big beast is stunning but in your LPL photo you struggle to see it. You also see some great details on your figures that are missed in the LPL photos. But thats the rules and I don't see them getting changed :'(
Thanks for posting the pictures :-*
Hopefully other people will follow suit and we can relive the LPL in greater detail ;)

Post by: Bugsda on 06 July 2009, 03:13:07 PM: All great entries but I especially liked your round 10, the sea monster and the south sea islanders were fantastic 8)

Post by: Mancha on 06 July 2009, 04:43:46 PM: I liked your Sands of Time entry the best, although your Round 10 entry was nothing to scoff at either.

Post by: oldskoolrebel on 06 July 2009, 11:53:55 PM: They're all beautiful! Absolutely Fantastic, where did the models for round 6 come from??

Cheers

Post by: Malebolgia on 07 July 2009, 10:17:09 AM: Ta! You thanks for all the work involved. It's a mad man's job and I think you've outdone yourself.

@oldskoolrebel: They are "Skorne Praetorian Ferox Riders" from the Hordes game:

Post by: myincubliss on 07 July 2009, 06:35:47 PM: I absolutely love your round 7 entry, especially the way you've done the bases so they're actually in the water...

where were those minis from, btw?
Title: Re: My LPL Entries
Post by: Sybou on 07 July 2009, 06:49:18 PM: Hello.
These are the best deep ones i have ever seen. Same question as above: Where do the minis come from? I have seen them before.

Post by: Sybou on 07 July 2009, 10:36:19 PM: i found my answers for the deep ones: wyrd miniatures.

They are really good miniatures. I saw your website too, it is cool, i like the gallery.
Title: Re: My LPL Entries
Post by: Gluteus Maximus on 08 July 2009, 09:05:47 AM: So, you appear to have a passing interest in Cthulhu/horror gaming, but what do you really like ;) lol

I hadn't realised so many of your entries had been in this genre.

All of them are well worth seeing again, so thanks for posting :D

Jup, Wyrd's Silurid Slaves make excellent Deep Ones. Paul Muller just is one of the best sculptors around for these type of sculpts.
I'm getting a bit annoyed by my website. Somehow the banners get all screwed up and they don't show up well on this 19" monitor I've got here. Annoying as hell :(

Post by: kidterminal on 12 July 2009, 11:06:38 PM: Very nice. I love the lighting effects on the idol in the first entry. I assume many of these will find their way into a Strange Aeons game.
