You really produce quite an impressive output of painted figures, I'm amazed. Are these commissions or for yourself?

Thanks!
I'm not painting most these in real-time (although the Red Simians in my Pulp thread were done within the past three weeks), although I am continuously painting (been on it as time permits since 2014) and many of these are from the past year. Otherwise, they're just for my personal collection.

Great work! I particularly like the Myconids.

Thanks! Personally, I've found it extremely difficult to find myconid sculpts I actually like... They're often too cartoonish, or else too blobby. But the Greater Myconids from Otherworld actually fit the bill.

These gladiator types are excellent.
But those yellow eyes...they are creeping the heck out of me lol What's the reason behind that stylistic choice?

I'm also wondering this! ;D

Dudes, the Evil Shrine! Clearly they've come under its ebilly-ebilly influence or something.

Thanks, I sculpted these!

Hey there! Sorry for the delay in replying. The short answer is that I'm terrible at eyes. The longer answer is that I don't think it's possible to do eyes well at this scale without an element of caricature, so I decided to lean into that instead of trying to obscure it. I'm a big fan of Mike Mignola's style in the graphic arts (as well as Genndy Tartakovsky's), and so a few years ago I started trying to do this yellow, cartoonish look with all my eyes. Also, I have a tendency to paint in an overly naturalistic palette (a fancy way of saying my figures tend toward the drab...), so it adds a little extra bit of spice that fits in with the aesthetic I go for on the table. Does that make sense?
Thanks, I sculpted these!
Wow! That's awesome. They're excellent sculpts.

Sorry for long delays in posting... Many things have been painted (for example, a basically complete figures and terrain set for Crooked Dice's M.A.N.T.A Ray 5 feature pack... But taking pictures is very dull for me... That being said, I've gone on an ultramodern kick lately, so who knows? Maybe I will start a new thread in the appropriate subforum...

I just stumbled upon your thread by pure "click" chance, glad I did :D.
Your figures look very eye-catching, despite your claim that you paint in a simplistic style. Sometimes less IS more and more to rhe point, I think you have great colour palette choices, they really look the part. I also enjoyed some of the little details you've put on the figures, like Omar Al-Khafour's dots on the turban :).
Thanks for displaying your figures.
