Something is rotten in the state of Denmark...
« on: 26 May 2012, 01:46:43 PM »

Thanks Richard !

Impressionist indeed, i never realy learned to do the smoth blending and transitions then painting minis, so I puched it in the other direction.  ;D

My aim are fast painting and that the minis will look good on the gaming table, unfortunally they might not always look good on picture...not in to close-up at least... :?

Well, I quite like them. It's a different style. They don't look badly painted, put it that way. They look like they're painted in a particular style, and i like your bold use of bright colour.
Monet doesn't look too clever close up  ;)

As you Richard are a man that realy can get the most out of bright colours I´m most honoured by you comment, I actually use to read your very good painting article from WSS from time to time to get some inspiration  :)

I think my minis might get to dull if I woulden´t use the brightest colours to get good contrast, like the blue I use that are a little TO blue, but in the end it turnout quite well and I like it 8)

Nice work - I bet those minis make a stunning impression on the gaming table!
