a well deserved 10, mate :)
Keep going, I'm eagerly awaiting for the next masterpiece! :P

Thanks pal, it finished up at 9.5 which was well above my expectations, lets hope they like it as much at golden demon

Thanks for the link to C.M.o.N...I voted in a totally unbiased manner...mostly. Despite being rarely at a loss for words, your work leaves me speechless; ergo, voting gives me a chance to add a compliment.

LOL Nala, thanks pal.

Right whilst i wait for a replacement show only skin wolf (they have redone the skin wolves using the old injection moulding rather than the tits spincast/finecast tripe!!), I have started a slaaneshi sorceress converted from the Dark Elf one all the prep and resculpting was done over the weekend



have been wanting to paint this for ages and didnt want something bog standard as I have seen plenty vanilla versions of this model about

I have also made a start on the painting, started to build up the skin, focusing on the head and face



And then a little more work on the skin

lovely model Dee!  :-*
The skin tone is really good. Curious to see the rest...
About eyes, could I suggest a magical light instead of the human standard? Something to pop em up!

I love the skin tones; she's LOVELY in an ugly sort of way.

Here's a useful colour template, then.

Thanks pal, even with that forehead i'd let her touch my tinkle.........

Superb skintones. What primer is it you use and why grey?

Thanks pal, some cheap grey car primer from halfords.  Grey for certain things because I want more vibrant colours then with black but not as garish as white undercoat.

Here's a useful colour template, then.

Started work on the NMM gold which is something I tend to shy away from but i thought what the hell why not give it a whirl and armed with a recipe from Tommie Soulie over at Golem Painting I gave it a whirl, not sure about the crescent on the top of the staff but the rest looks decent enough I think

I'm not a supporter of NMM and I like your way to paint real metal but this is a successfull attempt :)
You are right: the top of the staff needs more light. The rest seems perfect! Keep going pal

Excellent work on the figure! Now, how did you model that fluted column?

Grea work man! Any chance of some closer up shots though, your wee model seems dwarfed by the amount of black background! ;)

Very nice  8)

Second the suggestion about unworldly eyes, really pale blue might work.

cheers
