5th dimension contest entry finished

Whew okay this was probably the fastest I've ever assembled, customized, and painted a miniature. It was a big challenge for me considering I work full-time and have kids. Many nights were spent running back and forth from the office to the nursery and back haha. Anyways I'm rather pleased with my entry Considering the short time I had on it. If only I find out a month earlier haha. I'm looking forward to seeing the other entries. Until then you'll just have to wait to see mine. Ciao :-)

quick update

5th dimension contest wip pt3

Hmm well its getting down to the wire for me if I'm going to finish this guy. I'm not sure if I like how the armor is turning out. I'm not finished with it yet. Just for some reason it send off in comparison to his skin.Hopefully I can balance it out tonight.

5th dimension competition wip pt2

Managed to get a lot accomplished this weekend. Unfortunately I dont have pics of the ork due to running out of memory on phone. Hopefully by the end of the day I will have pics. Here is what the base looks like so far.

5th dimension wip

Ok so I discovered another blog titled 5th dimension. As it would be my luck I discovered that they are having a painting competition. I was excited to see this..then I see the ending date. Its the 5th...eek! It's been crunch time for me. Within two days I've managed to get a lot done.still more to do but it's been a fun build. Something they want you to do is try something out of your comfort zone. Well for me it would be kit bashing, making bases and sculpting. I suck at all three in my opinion. For my model I took a gw nurgle lord and chopped him a bit. There are so many different pieces here from kits I lost count. Even added some metal rods to extend the gun too. Tomorrow I'll sand and smooth out the greenstuff.

Hassassin commission complete

Here is the latest commission ive completed. It was a table top quality paintjob.

Saladin WIP Pt.1

With this being my last miniature for my current commission how better to end it with Saladin. I mean this guy is one bad@$$ mofo. Don't take my word for it just check out his bio on the infinity page.

So, here is the beginning of this fearsome warrior. I've managed to get quite a bit done in short amount of time..roughly four hours. I'm writing notes down for the colors I'm using on this guy. Look for a tutorial in the near future. Promise it will turn out better than my nurgle tutorial. Haha

blood and sand WIP pt2

I'm a huge fan of the gladiators during Roman times. It's fascinating how anyone from a slave to high class citizens could have become a gladiator...granted the slave wasn't given the opportunity to refuse becoming a gladiator.

For this piece I'm creating this in honor of the movie Spartacus. I've watched all of the series and it truly inspires one when painting a gladiator...minus all the fornication that happens during the show haha. Well here's how my champion is looking so far.

Tarik Mansuri is finished

For a table top standard I think I did this guy justice fairly well.
