Post by: thebinmann on March 23, 2014, 05:49:36 PM: Amazing, UM you have painted figures I don't like and made me like them and Capt Blood has pulled those reds out lovely (is that Blood Red?)

Post by: Captain Blood on March 23, 2014, 06:34:31 PM: 'Evil Sunz Scarlet' - thanks to Dr Mathias for the recommendation :)

Nice work there Uncle Mike. I have no idea what they are, but they're unfeasibly cute.

Post by: Andym on March 23, 2014, 06:41:38 PM: Great work gents! :-* ......and a surprisingly good match up! Capt-fantastic scene! Uncle Mike-your painting style really suits those minis and the GW ruins are aptly cartoony to go with them.

Post by: Vonkluge on March 23, 2014, 06:45:01 PM: Both dang nice, the Hero's have a paint job style that matches the "flavor" of the castings character perfectly :-*

'Evil Sunz Scarlet'

I thought you might like that color, GW got that one right :)

The heraldry is killer, stunningly crisp. If I didn't know your work I'd have guessed decals!

Great work on the Super Dungeon figures UncleM. I have those myself, not quite sure how I would approach them. Yours are up there with the best I've seen.

Post by: Hu Rhu on March 23, 2014, 08:51:28 PM: Fantastic work both of you. Love the heraldry on the Lannisters but the little guys are 'so cute'. Tough choice.
Title: Re: Round 1 - Heroes of Crystalia vs. Hear Me Roar
Post by: Uncle Mike on March 24, 2014, 12:57:14 AM: Thanks guys! Always an horrific experience to find you are matched against Captain Blood...that said, I'm doing better than I thought I would. Who knew I could be so cute? :D

Those figures look fantastic Mr. Blood! I am especially blown away by the detail on the bases, a master stroke!

Post by: Neldoreth on March 24, 2014, 04:39:53 AM: Excellent composition on both of these pieces. It's a tough choice here!

Thanks

Post by: Hammers on March 24, 2014, 06:54:54 AM: Lovely. Your painting style lends itself beautifully to GoT, Richard. Armour is always described as colorful and bright.

UM, great PJ. Really. Never seen these before

A very good job on the conversions Richard! This reminds me to also work on my warband. :D

No, not decals. One of the shields (from some random fantasy knight sprue) has an embossed lion rampant, and I just copied that freehand onto all the rest.

Thank you Frank. But truthfully, they're nowhere near as good as your Lannisters. They really set the standard! :)

Didn't mean to suggest you used decals at all, I know you're a man of integrity :)
I thought that one looked embossed, but that's not a criticism at all, just the way it catches light.

Post by: Captain Blood on March 24, 2014, 10:48:11 PM: Matt, I didn't take it as a criticism in the least :)
Just confirming that it was indeed a pain in the ass painting all those heraldic lions o_o
When I expand my Lannister forces, I'll need to make a stamp or something...

Shame there has to be a winner
