The vibrant color choices, the rich tones of the golden armor, & especially the way you brought out the minis character with their facial expression make the Captain FANTASTIC LOOKING...matches the quality of his associates nicely. VERY WELL DONE!

Coming up with a fair/acceptable price for commission work is the hardest part of the job.

:o :o

Thats some nice rich gold Faber...very nice.  Your skin tone is also very interesting...dusky...I love it!

Blue

thanks Chris! :)
It was too funny to paint that gold!
Personally, I would not hang out in Mordheim with a golden armour :D But probably a Marienburg crazy mercenary captain would! lol

Thanks DeafNala, you are too kind :)
And, wise man, you are right, coming up with a fair/acceptable price for a commission work is really hard. Especially because every model is a challenge and (for me) it's really impossible to understand how much time a paintjob will require. :)

cheers!

Models look great, I especially like the ogre. Your faces are great and show the character of the models. 8)

many thanks guys! I'm happy you like my painting  8)

Today I have a flash update, I've finished a couple more figs: here they are in the usual crappy piccies



first another classic marienburger




pretty a challenge to paint his face :)
Second, a middenheimer who thinks that is better to stay with the rich marienburgers:





I don't like this mini so much. I think it is not so well sculpted and he has a lot of little details that I'm not sure what they are  ??? BTW I'm pretty happy with the final result.

To finish this update, the usual group shot with the other nasty fellas




Hope you like it guys!
C&C always welcome :)

cheers
Faber

Cracking work :)

psst, you charge too little. For this standard most people charge 15-20 euros/pounds.
If you can make enough on 10 euros per standard human sized model then fair play but keep in mind materials/taxes and prep work.

Keep up the good work.

Many thanks generul! :) Much appreciated. You are right, I charge too little. For future I'll apply a more reasonable price :)

love them! i've seen them by flesh and they're great!

thanks Jack! I am happy someone other than me have seen them in real life :D And yes, you are right too about the price :)

Lovely, lovely, Faber! Absolutely top notch!

Eheh! Excellent :D Now I'm going to do the one with double pistol and the one with mornig star. After them, the freelancer  :P. I am looking forward to paint it: always wanted to paint such a lovely sculpt. Maybe, togheter with the ogre and captain, the best sculpt of the lot IMO.

VERY WELL DONE! I love your choice of colors & the skin tones are robust, perfect for men who spent much of their lives out of doors.

Thanks Adam! :)
I was unsure about the hair colour for him...First I decided to go with a classic blonde hair but it was too cool to give him a ginger hair :D It seems something like a celt warrior to me now :)

Thanks mate! :) To me it's very important to render their veterans look. Much appreciated!

Thanks Wolf! I'm happy you like them! :) I've worked a lot around metallics. I'm particulary proud of the golden armour :)
(and PM replied :D)

Thanks guys, you really motivate me! :)
