Those are sweet! If your customer is into Arabian Nights stuff he should check out Myrmidon Studios stuff. Sebastian has some nice themed figures in his own range, plus he has done some nice commissions - particularly some for a new Sinbad range out there (I'm trying to think of the company but drawing a blank...)

Thanks guys.

And thanks Sir Barnaby. This order was a bunch of different stuff in addition to the Arabian Nights stuff. I'll take a look at them to get an idea what they have. I'm not sure what direction the customer will want to go when this order is finished.

Your choice of colors & freehand work are OUTSTANDING. Whoever is about to receive those little gems will be delighted I'm sure. WONDERFULLY WELL DONE!

I'll see if I can't have Allison do a gems tutorial on the blog sometime soon. At the least when she gets home she can tell you how she did it. I could but she explains it much better! :)

Absolutely fantastic. The wizard with the skull is really a league of his own. Amazing, what you have pulled off there.

This looks good, and the gems are really great. I would also love to read some sort of tutorial on how they where made, even though I can imagine how :)

I produce the nasty elves mate  ;)
Sebastions range Guild of harmony has a couple that could fit in with the arabian nights theme quite nicley.
Reaper does have the largest line for pieces such as those shown (reaper obvioulsy!)

Cool paint work man on some nice minis :)

Nice work

I was thinking of getting that Jaberwocky from Reaper and now that I saw yours my wanting it is comfirmed.
He would be a great addition to my Beastmen army posing as a Jaberslythe.

You have shown what you can do with Reaper mini's.
I actually like them and have several mixed into my Warhammer collection.

Great stuff
No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck.

Aaah, very nice to see the jabberwocky. I've also been thinking of buying him for ages (well actually since he came out) and your pictures make him go higher on my want list. It looks better then the monstrosity the GW is bringing out soon... pictures in the next WD if I'm correct.

Also love the painting. Nice freehand work on the robes and the feathers and like the gem as well.
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?
