Sessairs Archers. Confrontation.

When I picked up a blister with these guys, my first thought was: "Who is it?". My soul asked for something bright and unusual, so I've tried to search some information about the real Celts. I liked a few arts of them and its became the basis for the color scheme of my group.

And I've decided to paint these guys with individual color schemes (as I did it in some previously painted squads) in conformity with my vision of the nature of each character.  Ок, this is the result:

Griffin Spearmen. Confrontation

The boys have an exceptionally funny armor. I was looking for a long time for their color scheme, as I wanted to do something pathos and  knightly. As a result, I've stopped at the banal red-blue scheme. And I think it suits them.

Drune Wraiths. Confrontation

It was a very interesting work for me - because I couldn't do them bright sa I like to do! A lifestyle of this race :) suggests some asceticism in color, so I tried to limit myself in color choice as far as possible. Here is the result:

And, traditionally, a bigger picture:

First work of my son

The world of miniature painting captured the smallest member of our family - our little son. I'm proud to publish his first work - an elf (Zvezda). He did it about one year ago and he was only 6.5 years old. This elf was choosen because of its large scale and low price (don't feel sorry for the first "test pen"). Now he wants to paint a space marine and we've already picked a model. I hope that this post will push him to new challenges. Good luck, my son!

Agonn the Ardent. Confrontation

In principle, there were no special issues in this work. The only trouble was the color choice of a scarf at a waist and a plume. First I've decided to do it red, but after applying the base coat I was worried that it will be too bright and defiant. So I've changed a color to a blue and white. And now, here is a young knight in shining gold armor.

Boors with Axe. Confrontation.

After a long break I went back to work. And these guys were my attempt to recall  "how to paint": trio of dwarves from Confrontation. The guys turned out really different: pale pitiful blond, impulsive red-haired and very unkind dark man.  In general the work was very interesting, and ... oh, my God, how I've missed the painting!

Song of Life and Death

This was my entry for Italian Golden Demon 2011. Unfortunately, it won nothing. Of course, the reasons were quite objective - the level of works exhibited there was just amazing and didn't go to any comparison with my work. But this is my first global project, I've gained a lot of expirience  of terrain building from it.
Of course I see a lot of mistakes now: statics, no conversions, controversial idea,  the execution of diorama is rough and has a big amount of defects (I know its all :)).
But I'll repeat - this is my first experience of a global project. It was first time I tried to use a lot of objects (snow, waterfalls and etc.) so its were made "as it happened." This diorama took a lot of time and took a piece of my soul, so finally I've decided to publish a little story of its birth. Maybe someone will find something useful for himself.
