Hey guys, I've been on here for awhile now & thought I'd finally try & share some of my work. A few quick notes, I am very new with the picture taking, hopefully this will improve! I don't do pupils. In all my years of painting I've never painted one I was happy with >:(. Anyway, here's the first few of what I hope will be many, Billy the Kid & Bohannon (If anyone knows how to make these photos a more reasonable size please do :?)
-
Picture quality is good :)
Remember, autolevels is your friend ;)
Nice painting too. I never cared about painting pupils either, no one sees them anyway from one feet way!
-
Those are two mean looking hombres! :-*
The paintjobs make them look really sinister!
-
Very nice. :-*
-
Great paint job!
-
they look nice, but you should try pupils, the 1st figure looks almost like a zombie, maybe shadow rather than white for the eye?
-
Great job on those figs. As for the eyes I like them but a glowing red would make the top fig look deranged.
-
Really nice pjs. I agree about the eyes although I do persevere with them...so many paint jobs are ruined imho by google eyed pupils.
-
Thanks for looking guys, I appreciate all the C & C. Here's two more additions: my Robot Deputy & probably my favorite hero mini Rooster!
-
very nice, wheres the robot from?

Thanks. The robot is from Rattrap Productions. I had bought the pack he came in to use one of the other minis for a Jonah Hex conversion but once I had him in hand I couldn't wait to paint him up!

Well it's been a while to say the least, about 10 months ago my wife & I had our second child. It was a gorgeous baby girl this time & I'm sure as most parents in this hobby know my painting has fallen way, way behind. Anyway I thought I'd try & snap a few new pics during nap time so here we go!
First up is the Hanging Judge Moses Moore, I used the Malifaux Pale Rider as a base with some heavy conversion. I think the lights I used are giving too much of a yellow tint though. The next is a converted dwarf with no name. I replaced the pistols he had with six guns...I won't lie I just liked him because he looks like Yosemite Sam lol. More to come!
-
:o don't want to get on the wrong side of that judge! He's one scary looking dude.
Cheers
Matt

Some great figures in there with wonderful paintjobs.
Love that Judge, gonna have to check out what the original looked like some time.
:-* :-*
As for resizing pictures: I am not sure how you are placing/hosting these, but if you were to use photobucket this would work....
Click on 'modify' on one of your posts and it will show you the text that you have used and also give you the dimensions of the picture in the description link.
Just alter the dimensions, reducing the width and height proportionately.

Excellent work on that judge, very impressive.

Thanks Dewbakuk, I really wish I could have found a normal horse head that fit but them's the breaks. As always I appreciate the C & C everyone. Next up is a Blackwater Gulch Gambler miniature. I modeled the suit after one worn by James on Wild Wild West. Now if only I could find a suitable Gordon...

Glad to see you didn't use that stupid hand holding the cards. I've never liked any of the Blackwater Gulch minis, but you did him some proper paintwork! :)
