Very nice detail work. The freehand designs are just amazing.

WOW

Put my efforts to shame.
Love the detail on the robes. How do you manage to get light colours so clear and neat on top of the dark background?

Thanks for all the comments guys, always appreciated.

to answer a few comments:

-All free hand done with brush not pen
-They are based like this because they will be for gaming so need to fit in with what i have. Although a scenic base would fit these sculpts nicely.
- I work up in layers, much like other painters, to get the lighter colours. The red is GW foundation mecharite red and has a great coverage over black.

Thanks again guys and i should have some pics of more Chinese minis soon.

see also the new LAM preview -chinese merchant- and also the earlier obelisk chinese. They will go terrific with these two.

As for the bases: They are well and generic. As for me I would prefer a street like base since they are quite more upper swell townsfolk.

But for this super level of artwork they needed something extra, which is not bad at all, in gaming, too. And I say something extra meaning some simple additions like: a small buddha statue (the kind that pulp figures has in their monks pack) thrown somewhere in the base or a couple of stones -ruins from a stone fence etc.

I stumbled across the obelisk Chinese civilian minis, they are very nice and will have to pick some up. Ive seen some nice minis at Pulp miniatures aswell, just wish they had a UK distributor.

Some good ideas for basing, i guess i have always been a person who bases minis for necessity rather than adding to the look but i guess it all adds to the character of the mini. I'l have to look at future projects this way... Thanks again for the comment

The best painting I've seen in a while. Nice color blending coupled with freehand details the blacklining in the recesses is always my favorite representation on minis. Thanks for sharing and don't be shy with more!

You're a MASTER!

You're freehand put most of us to shame.

Lovely minis and I second the request to see a rear view, pretty please.

Oustanding technique, and choice of colors.

Thanks for sharing.
