Thanks guys

Fantastic painting in this thread. Hess Poison Breath's googles - metalics only or you added a wash/shading? Love him.

The reflection is just painted on with regular matte paints. The only colours I used on this was black, white and Scale 75 'Toxic Waste Green.'

I painted up Sli'Ith Iron Lung in a similar fashion to Hess Poison Breath above. I converted him slightly by substituting his hands with one from the Empire Wizards kit and one from the 40k Poxwalkers.

Again, such a tight palette, but so effective.

I've painted up one of the chainrasps from the Warhammer Underworlds Nightvault box. I wanted to keep the paintjob loose and energetic. The idea was to make it seem as if the ghost was flowing with unnatural energy.

Gorgeous stuff.  I love when people paint with style over technical perfection - please don't take that as an insult.

One of my favourite commission painters is often derided for being technically poor, but his models are striking in a very artistic/emotional way (i.e. he delivers a thematic punch without meticulous edge-highlighting and hours of wet-blending, etc.).

Really like painted minis like this.  I have zero artistic ability to mimic the style or I would.

Thank you! And not the least bit insulted, it's very much a stylistic choice in this case. I assume the painter you're referencing is Lappat? Very much a fan of his work too.

The guy I am thinking of is ThirdEyeNuke.  Very polarizing style.  He likes limited colour palettes, and a splattery Blanche-esque paint finish on things.  It's what I thought of when I clicked on this thread! :D That's not a bad thing.  What I like is that I can see your painting prowess in the pieces, but I can also tell you've chosen a particular style, a minimalist one.  I dig it.

This set of figs really captures my imagination. It's so evocative in a realistic way that really captures a dark winter day/evening. The near monochrome is so realistic under a snowy, dark sky yet there's still an unnatural light to it. It's really great. I want to build an entire undead army based on this theme :D Thanks for the inspiration.

Here's a fun comparison that I found (of course, it's fresh snow in the picture below, whereas the above figs look like they're coming out of older compacted snow, thus the bits sticking to cloaks and the uneven surface, still, the lighting comparison is pretty apt!):



Thanks

That ghost really looks spectacular, as do the rest of the figures.
