In a forest darkly - denizens of an enchanted realm: The Cave Troll

[Peithetairos]

A Reaper Bones Behir. Nice miniature, if hard to clean. If they release it in the new Bones Black or Bones USA it might be worth waiting. A few more pictures of the creature:

Thanks for the reply. It is an effective method judging by your results.

Awesome - thanks for letting me know

Another Ranger, this time Elladan (also featured in the cover pic) by Reaper Miniatures.

I changed his weapons and arm position, as the Bones ones were a bit too bendy and thick.

He was pretty much a practice for leather textures, so not my current level. I still like him for this smirk.

How do you like the pastel backgrounds? I am experimenting with a variety of backgrounds at the moment to see how to improve my pics.

So far we had infinite black, painted backdrop and blue, purple and green pastel tones.

Well, the painted backdrops are excellent and look great with the figures. I think it is worth using the plain backgrounds as well for situations when you want the figure to be the unchallenged centre of attention (with the backgrounds they become part of a scene). I like the light green best with the Elladan figure.

Thank you, I guess I will use the backgrounds depending on context, as you suggest.

I made some new pictures of Elliwyn Heatherlark, that show some more detail. The head and weapon were added, the rest is original.

That is a wonderful piece of kit-bashing and painting. Well done! 

[Peithetairos]

Thank you! I made some new pictures of another denizen: a gnarly Lich.

This guy is a conversion of Reaper Leisynn Mercenary Mage.

Some more insight into the conversion process on my blog:

Now, that is what I call a lich - eons of decrepitude. Excellent work on him/it. I also like the little details of the words and picture in the book being carried.

[Peithetairos]

Thank you kindly. He is indeed in need of a face-lift.

Another challenger appears. This time Reaper's Lem the Halfling Bard. He is based on a Pathfinder character.

Happy how the face came out and the brocade pattern.

Lovely painting on all the figures especially love the pattern and colours on the cloak of the halfling.

[Grumpy Gnome]

So much to love in your work, great job!

My favorite part of the liche is your wonderful book details, the writing, the capital B, the illustration. Very cool stuff.

[Captain Blood]

Excellent painting. The dragon is a beauty

The picture with the painted background is awesome!
