Iron Painter Season 3 Round 3 WIP

[vincegamer]

Hah!
I have the perfect mini!
I will win hands down and I don't even have to paint anything for the mini is already transparent!

Good joke?
Seriously though, I have been tossing some ideas around and here are my choices so far. Feel free to cast a vote, or steal an idea:

First there is the one that is most ambitious and that I probably won't do in the 2 weeks but may take up again later.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/vincegamer/visibleman.jpg
The idea is to paint "The Visible Man" on a blank - you know, where you see the internal muscles and stuff. That's brobably better for a bust though, but it's a possibility.

Then there's tis one:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/vincegamer/primed1.jpg
It's really just your typical fantasy chick, but I could do her in daphanous clothes.

Next is the sci-fi look:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/vincegamer/primed2.jpg
A bit easier I think. I have plenty of pics on the web to go to for a woman wearing a sheer black mini-dress, underwear visible through the fabric.

Finally, something slightly more subtle:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/vincegamer/crystal2.jpg
I am thinking I would just do the crystal ball painted as an actual crystal. Subtle, but very difficult.

[TAB Studio]

The last mini by spyglass was my first thought I had it on the table last night, I had bought her long ago to do transparent dress, after looking at her a bit, I figured she would need something with her on the base she is rather plain and her left eye looks like a challenge to paint. I thought to have her handing a dragon the ball but since I just did a dragon I kicked her to the side.

Then we went through the boxes and found a better mini. I have a darksword mini here that will be great, she is a hottie and the sculpting is Meier. I have started on the base and will be able to do some tonight after my html homework is done.

A link to the library gallery show. Flowery painting and some sketches got accepted for the show and so did Becca's sketch.(my daughter)

We did not get a purchase award but it is all about taking baby steps for me. These are the first things I have ever drawn or painted, it will take quite some time before I am proficient.
Skya, You can pick my brain on how I photoed black if I can bother you on for how to draw better, you have some great work on your web site. :D

[Wren]

Woo hoo, congrats on the show acceptance!

[matty1001]

I started my entry last night, and worked on it today. Its Alice from Hasslefree. I read Chrispys article about sheer clothing over at CMoN and im having real problems with it. How to do it is easy enough, and I can get it looking pretty convincing, it just seems to be getting the placement and size right to fully emphasise the illusion and make it look 100% genuine.

[cdukino]

I started mine as well. I wanted to go for a tad more orrigional then a voluptios lady in skin tight dress... so now i am getting my first problems. The idea is nice but the sculpt doesn't have the cloth contact and follow the body contour closely save an a very few spots... so I only have minimal contact space to have the illusion work. I will continue this one and abandon it timely if it won't work. I'm doing Ashkrypt from reaper by the way. Not a lot of flesh there to press against the dress ;) and the problem is also light bones to shrine through loose dark fabric. I might have just gone a bit to hard. But i am gonna try for a bit

[cdukino]

Well here is my first wip (and first showing of a wip for IP).

Seeing the cloth alone might not be enough I converted his scynth into a flask to do some sheer there as well (so 2 firsts for me... first time sheer cloth and a first time doing a clear flask with liquid in it). I was rather limited in the conversion option due to the skeleton hand being on the scynth (rather wise spread especially the index finger) and limited room after assembly. But I did not want to resculpt the hand. I think it came out neatly. Also i prefer this not only theme wise but also concept wise as i never liked the both hand holding a huge weapon look of the figure. One hand holding a large sword and the other a huge scynth... That's not impressive on the battlefield, thats asking for accidents.

Ashkrypt sure if hard to get a transparencyeffect on. The cloth took me already 5 tries to get where it is now. Still come correcting to do but getting there.

http://www.wyrd-games.net/photopost/data/514/ashkrypt-wip.jpg

Obviously still very much wip. And not at all sure this is gonna be my final entry. Might still crash and burn.

[EldinTux]

I was fascinated to see the interpretations of this theme, I really like what you've done cdukino. I'm looking forward to what the competition can bring to the table

[Frustrated Father]

Nice start Cindy.

Welcome to Wyrd EldinTux.

[Wren]

Very cool concept Cindy, and I think it's coming out really nicely!

[matty1001]

Mine went in the stripper tonight. I had done the dress blue, cracked the sheer effect, went to shade and highlight the blue, but forgot one vital thing. Im crap with blue. So im going to use a colour I am more comfortable with.

[callumrice]

Very cool Cindy. And its nice to see Eldintux finally make it!

[orkydave]

Well I have finally settled on a figure to use- GW's Fay enchantress. Off to town to pick her up now!

Very nice work Cindy, I really like the way you have defined the skeleton under the dress!

[Skya]

Skya, You can pick my brain on how I photoed black if I can bother you on for how to draw better, you have some great work on your web site. :D

You've got a deal. ;)

[vincegamer]

I have added progress shots to the WIP gallery for the curious.

Who else has the guts to show what they have so far? Hmmm?

[Thryth]

I have added progress shots to the WIP gallery for the curious.

Who else has the guts to show what they have so far? Hmmm?

I'm still in the thinking stage. I guess I should get to the painting stage sometime soon, eh? :)

[Duende]

I have added progress shots to the WIP gallery for the curious.

Who else has the guts to show what they have so far? Hmmm?

Vince, I actually just saw your WIP over in the CMON thread asking about tattoos. Looks very promising so far, but just makes me wonder why on earth sculptors (most likely male) would ever think an outfit like that would ever be practical/comfortable? Sheesh, CHEESECAKE! ;) :D

[vincegamer]

I didn't sculpt it.
And in fact I didn't even buy it.
It was a prize I got in the last (final :( ) chick challenge.
It doesn't fit in with anything I own, and I have thought about turning the gun into a hair dryer, but most likely I will just sell it as is.

[TAB Studio]

vince
oh the challange but,
I have homework (then I can start like Pablo's dog I am) HTML class ends this week,and I also have a frame by frame animation do in two.
I am doing my sons ferret as a pole dancer
Ricky Rodanzia---dancer of the mid morning :D
I will stop this weekend hell of hi water unless I can get to her sooner.


Skya so great! Thank you!

[matty1001]

Im having real problems with it, im onto my third attempt now, and it still isn't going to well. Might just put up with what i have got and paint the rest up, then go back to it if I have got time.

[orkydave]

Theres no rush TAB, you take all the time you need with your homework!

And that poledancing ferret sounds complicated too, I think you will need until next monday to finish that!!!!!

:)

[vincegamer]

why do my opponents never post?

[supervike]

Fear, respect, gloating?

[matty1001]

Mine can't as it doesn't have poseable thumbs

[supervike]

Poseable or Opposable?

Each one is funny, mind you....

[vincegamer]

maybe he meant "possible"?

[TAB Studio]

Theres no rush TAB, you take all the time you need with your homework!

And that pole dancing ferret sounds complicated too, I think you will need until next monday to finish that!!!!!

:)


Oh ... funny .... real funny....
A good influence , you?

I think not.

[matty1001]

Poseable or Opposable?

Each one is funny, mind you....

Opossable, thats the one! Damn my drunken brain! (quiz night at the chilly pub hehe!)

[Duende]

Opossable, thats the one! Damn my drunken brain! (quiz night at the chilly pub hehe!)

That's OK, Matty. I'm certain you paint better when you're drunk.


:hahaha: :cheers:

[matty1001]

I won't be trying that! The last time I painted when I had consumed intoxicants (magic mushrooms) everything went blindingly well, I was Allan Carrasco and Mathieu Lalain's love child!..then i woke up and realised i had only made a mess!

[supervike]

I know the feeling!


about making a mess, I mean...not being that sordid love child or the magic mushrooms bit.

[callumrice]

I know the feeling!


about making a mess, I mean...not being that sordid love child or the magic mushrooms bit.

Sure!....:240: :flypig: :peace:

[LavronYor]

why do my opponents never post?

They do vince, unfortunately it is just your opponent from round one. and I think he meant Plausible thumbs...

[vincegamer]

Well, I put a little more paint on her this morning...and crapped her up.
I'm hoping when I look at it again tonight, after it's had a few hours to dry, it will have softened and not look so bad.

[LavronYor]

dullcote is the blenders friend.....

[supervike]

Really? How does it help>?

[TAB Studio]

vince I am sorry to hear that, only because I am not competing with you.:vb_devil:
It happens quick with sheer clothing and it is in the back of my mind as I work. You have time still and mine are not that bad going back after I walk away most the time. I hope yours is not either.

Work? Paint?

Oh yea dave... I got my finals tests done early just for you ... did I mention it is an online class and I could work ahead :dancing2: Oh the joy.

Wren I am glad you liked your goodies !

[orkydave]

Well good for you TAB, why not get a head start on the next module now you are done!:laugh:

(well you can't blame a guy for trying- seeing as you trounced me by 10 whole points last round!)

I have made my base and got base and mini basecoated, but will not be able to start until the weekend.

[orkydave]

Any Idea how many hours Vike is in front of/ behind us in the UK? Looks like I won't be able to make a start this weekend afterall and may go down to the wire with this round!

[matty1001]

Its roughly 6 hours behind, the deadline is normally about midnight for us.

[matty1001]

Heres my WIP

http://www.wyrd-games.net/photopost/data/514/Alice_WIP.jpg

Its coming along alright but im still not pleased with the sheer effect. But as this was the third attempt, i decieded to just go ahead with the rest, then go back to it if i had time, then i would definately still have a model to enter.

[vincegamer]

Well you seem to have nailed the base and the skin in any case.

[matty1001]

Cheers, i didn't have the lighting set up when i took this so there is alot of mid tone colours, and the highlights and shading have been washed out a bit. When i do the proper photos everything should look a notch better.
The ferns are still just undercoated on the base, i only got them yesterday, the just brusn primed them and glued them on.

[LavronYor]

Matty, if it supposed to be sheer, you are missing one uh... two things...

Nips!

Vikey, dullcote tends to soften edges between two colors, somewhat like a wash.

[vincegamer]

I'm envious of your camera and lights then.
I'm just photographing mine with a pocket digicam and an ott light.

[supervike]

Vikey, dullcote tends to soften edges between two colors, somewhat like a wash.

Funny! I've always thought using Dullcote seemed to 'pull my mini together' a bit...but didn't realized it actually was....

Viva La Dullcote!

[vincegamer]

so how many layers of dullcote should I use?
More dullcote means more blending?
Revolution in painting!

[Jubilee]

I finally started mine this afternoon.. not sure enough about it yet to post a WIP, though.. ;)

/ali

[Thryth]

For what it's worth, I've been racking my brain this whole time trying to choose one of my miniatures for this contest. I finally gave-up on finding an appropriate miniature in my mountain of unpainted lead, and ordered a new miniature online.

I sure hope it shows-up soon. :afraid:

[cdukino]

I lost intrest in my figure a bit (which is often happenig when i'm half way a figure). Hopefully it will come back in the weekend. Just found out my deadline is friday morning vey very early as i'm gone for the weekend after this one including friday. ouch

[supervike]

Use your time wisely gang!

Just say NO to DNFers!

[matty1001]

Mine will defo be finished. I painted the gun and 75% of both the hair and the rabbit last night. Just need to putting shading on both. The just the little details, eyes, tounge, rabbits neck tie, shoes and bangles. That should all be done by tomorrow, then i can rework the sheer effect, and try and get some extra points in that department.

[vincegamer]

I haven't touched it again since my last mucking about.
I have been thinking about it though, and I've almost figured out all of her tattoos.

[Frustrated Father]

So when is the deadline on this one again? Too lazy to go look it up ... and yes .. I expect I'll get crap for that but ... nyaaah .. I'm a judge.

[supervike]

The deadline, my fine fathery friend, is SunDay, the 29th at 6pm....

[matty1001]

My entry is finished...kind of.

Iv fully painted it, but there are areas for improvement, so iv got a week now to just adjust and tweak things. So il most likely go back to it, but depending on if im busy or not, it could be getting entered the way it is.

[TAB Studio]

I finished my HTML final :party:

I redid my site comments more than welcome :D
http://www.tabstudio.com/

All I needed was 2 pages but if your gonna go go all the way right?
My biggest complaint with the results , I have to rename all the mini photos so they
display in the correct groups because of the sort feature on the table function. Not tonight though.

Now I feel sure to finish my entry will be working all weekend on it with no guilt.
Life is good!

[vincegamer]

Nothing from Jake.
Now nothing from Jubilee.
I think I may just walk my way into the finals.

[TAB Studio]

Stripper time
Meier does a great sculpt
Its just that painting them is such a beoutch
I wish he would stop putting pupils divots in the eyes
Tomorrow is another day

Hows everybody else going today?

[Thryth]

Hows everybody else going today?

I am about to start on mine (yes at 12:47am today ;) ).

[cdukino]

Got a new screen so means to get the picture up. I am hoping to finish the figure sooon. But it might not be the figure you are expecting from my wip. intrest in it didn't come back and i got inspired by another. So now I have to decide what to do. I can't finish both in time.... I like the sheer effect in Ashkrypt, don't like the rest I've done.


Decided to take the leap and prepare the other. Deadline thuersday for me.

[vincegamer]

Stripper time


All Right!
Tracy has decided to give it all up and become a stripper!

[matty1001]

Im up in Glasgow using Micks computer, and iv just looked at my WIP shot. Its completely different from when I view it on my comp! I didn't know monitors could have such a shift in colours.

[Jubilee]

I finished yesterday, but it's been a busy weekend, so I haven't yet got pictures.. will be working on that in a few minutes. =)

/ali

Edit:

Got my photographs done. Still getting too much exposure on the white, but anything else leaves everything else too dark. I'm afraid it's a bit dark as it is, but.. at least almost all of the "sheer" shows up (there's a bit lost in one of the back photos).

She's in the gallery now.

[vincegamer]

damn. I thought I was going to get another pass.

[Wren]

All Right!
Tracy has decided to give it all up and become a stripper!

I think there are too many female judges for this tactic to be successful...

[Duende]

Maybe if vince became a stripper he'd have better luck!

;)

That or scare us off!

[vincegamer]

My dad was a stripper:
#2 (http://www.washington.edu/admin/hr/laborrel/contracts/gciu/contract/appendixc.html)

[Duende]

My dad was a stripper


I could make a "Mom joke" at this point... but I'll restrain myself, barely, ...but I'll do it!

C'mon, ladies and gents! Let's see some more WIP's!

@ Jubilee - Nice showing! The women do have more iron in their blood than the men around here it seems. ;)

[supervike]

Crunch week....

Either get your stuff in this week, or start working on your excuses!!

[Stupidcow]

I haven't started mine, but I'm a anti DNF . You not gonna get away easy Matty.

[vincegamer]

I would like the opinion of anyone following this thread.
Look at my latest pic in the WIP gallery.

Now, would it improve or harm the piece if I were to put holes in her stockings?
I just thought of it, and it seems a neat idea but since she's in a neglige that is whole, ripping up the stockings might be out of place.

Here's the sort of thing I mean:
http://www.caufields.com/productimages/Halloween/new06/Thumbs/37_31223.jpg

[cdukino]

well back to Ashkrypt it is. I had about 10 minutes paintingtime today instead of hours. Strange as things can go. i simply have no time to do another.

[Thryth]

well back to Ashkrypt it is. I had about 10 minutes paintingtime today instead of hours. Strange as things can go. i simply have no time to do another.

Hey! How much do you want to beat me by? I think your WIP is just fine. ;)

[Wren]

With the pose of the figure and the overall look, I don't think ripped stockings would look out of place. I also think black boots are the most logical choice with that outfit.

[supervike]

I don't think I would do that Vince....ripping her stockings would make her seem trampy.

[TAB Studio]

I will give you hubby Todd's reply

" A cyber chick would defiantly have they ripped, from the fighting , like a goth chick thing. Lets face it she is not a nun"

My reply she has a lot going on , I think I would make it not as large as your picture but still there and in logical places like the knee or the back lower leg, that were mine stockings ran.
I am working on mine again tonight, restarted last night did the eyes first. I am hoping for a Wip to post.

[orkydave]

If she were mine vince then I would leave the stockings as they are.

Just finished my commission so can finally get cracking on my competition entry! Although me and the wife are babyless tomorrow night and going out on a 'date' so won't actually get paint on the mini until wednesday AAARRGH!!!!!!

So that realistically gives me 4 out of the 14 day deadline days to actually paint, not only that but to paint something that stands a chance of beating TAB the stripper, one of the strongest painters left in here!

Hopefully she will be too busy getting her kit off to find the time to paint anything.!

[matty1001]

A weekend away from my entry has done it the world of good. Iv came back noticing all the little things I can improve on, now im going to class it as not finished as I can see way more things to finish than before i went away.

[cdukino]

Found out that this was my last morning to work on it and photograph Ashkrypt. So this is it... my entry is in the gallery. I'm happy with the sheer effects. I'm gonna try this more often. Pretty hard to do but fun.

I don't know why some parts keep comming up rather glossy in the pictures... maybe the undead just aren't photogenic ;) My my initial goal to do it grimy and painterly instead of clean and smooth didn't help me there either. I think it fits the figure but i don't know if i would have done that again the second time round for an online competition. i might have gone for a cleaner effect. I also don't know why the leaves on the ground came out so yellow. They aren't nearly as much in real life... strange as the rest came out rather accurate colourwise

[vincegamer]

Thanks for the opinions.
I've decided no holes.
If I had done a normal opaque dress, I'd have ripped the stockings, but clearly she's dressed to seduce, not for a street fight. The gun just shows the purpose of the seduction: she's an assassin.

[Ritual]

....ripping her stockings would make her seem trampy.
And what's wrong with that? :hmmmm: :)

[supervike]

I was being subtly ironic.

[vincegamer]

"oh, irony; we don't get that around here. I tried it once and people looked at me funny."


*that was a great movie

[supervike]

Oh damn Vince...you are always taxing my brain in some way. What movie is that? Sounds VERY familiar!

[TAB Studio]

Steve Martin Roxanne

[vincegamer]

Ding!
give that girl a teddy bear!

[supervike]

URG! I just recalled it, and was about to answer to look real smart.

Plus my google search was fruitless...

[matty1001]

Man im tired, got back from Glasgow hoping for a nice sleep and do some painting, but my granny has taken really bad, and is going to be put in a hospice, its a case of waiting for the inevitable now, im so tired I can't even be arsed to make my bed. So it looks like I will be entering a finished, but not tidied model for this round.

[cdukino]

@Matty: Take some rest. The model is finished so don't worry about it. And even if it wasn't there are more important things then a paint comp. Things you can't control. Hoping the best for you and your granny under the circumstances

[vincegamer]

My condolences. Glad you don't have to DNF though.

[LavronYor]

"oh, irony; we don't get that around here. I tried it once and people looked at me funny."


Wait, is this Ironic Painter ?

and for prize, don't give her a teddy bear, let her choose, " anything between the chicklets and the pencil erasers.... " now, name that movie....

[matty1001]

My condolences. Glad you don't have to DNF though.

Yep, im glad I got it to the point it is last week.

Im most probably not going to get it tidied up now, iv been up at the hospital today with my dad, and basically, the doctors are saying the fuse is about to go out. There's not long left. Which is a really shitty feeling, knowing you just have to sit and wait around like a friggin melon. She is on Nil by mouth, which IMO is frankly quite pointless, there's no way she has the strength to recover from an operation, let alone have one.
So even if I do pass this round by a chance of luck, I think il opt out of the next round. It sounds pretty viscious but im not really affected deeply at the moment, but I know i will be when it does happen, and i will definately not be painting to a competition level. I am painting now, but just something easy to ease my heed.

Ahh feck...bring it on you bovine tart.

[Ritual]

I'm sorry Matty! Shit like this is hard and you never know how you will react, until it happens. When both my grannies died I was strangely unaffected, which bothered me somewhat. I guess it had to do with the fact they both had had long lives and both went rather quickly once the inevitable was a fact so they didn't suffer long. I think I knew already they would die and was more glad they didn't suffer than I was sad about them being gone. I felt guilty about not beeing more sad, but on the other hand I could more easily support my parents in their grief.

I hope you'll find a good way to deal with your grief once it happens. You and your family have my condolences.

[LavronYor]

Mine to....

[Stupidcow]

@ Matty - I've been at my grandma's deathbed before and I know exactly how it feels. It brings back the pain in my heart now hearing about this as my grandma was with me most of my childhood days.

Could it be due to the sheer number of female participants this whole thing feels like cotton candy painter we should rename it CC painter or sissy painter even. Where has all the smack gone???

[Jubilee]

I'm so good, I don't need to lower myself to smack-talking level. Afterall, once again my entry was the first in the gallery - what have you lazy bums been doing? ;)

/ali

[Thryth]

I'm so good, I don't need to lower myself to smack-talking level. Afterall, once again my entry was the first in the gallery - what have you lazy bums been doing? ;)

/ali

Yeah, what Jubille said! Well, um, the first part of that. Otherwise, I'm actually quit slow. :(

I rather enjoy the smack-freeness of this Iron Painter.

What have I been doing? Take a look: what I've been doing (http://www.stanscorner.com/Miniatures/Articles/) (I'm not sure of the file structure that I will be using, see the only article currently there).

Off topic, does anyone know what the next contest will be? A Wyrd one, or IP4?

[Malebolgia]

I'm guessing Total Testosterone III

[Stupidcow]

Bah bunch of softies! We need tougher individuals here to roughen up, and I know I can't count of the few left.

[LavronYor]

Where has all the smack gone???

Uhh.... I was eliminated by vince in the first round....

and Thryth, nice little tutorial over there. I think you meant IP3 round 3, not IP2...

[vincegamer]

What's the point of talking smack when my opponents just drop like flies?

[LavronYor]

excuse me..... flies.... just because my entry had wings....

[Jubilee]

What's the point of talking smack when my opponents just drop like flies?

:aetsch:

[Duende]

:aetsch: <---- Look out, Jubilee just got smacky!

[Thryth]

Uhh.... I was eliminated by vince in the first round....

and Thryth, nice little tutorial over there. I think you meant IP3 round 3, not IP2...

Doh! Missed it by that much! :) Thanks for pointing that out. I will fix it when I get home. BTW, I'm going to work on that article a bit more as I continue working on my entry.

[orkydave]

Well I will finally get round to making a start on mine today, honest, straight after I am done on the 'poota!

Thats how Iron I am, 2 weeks, PAH!!! give me 4 days!

I also got my mini from Henrix from round 1 today, a confrontation dwarf with blunderbuss. This is my first ever Rackham mini and I must say I am impressed! Thanks Henrix, its appreciated! I also appreciate that you put a bit of thought into what to send from looking at my round 1 entry.

[TAB Studio]

You better get the lead out!

[supervike]

tick tick tick tick

[Skya]

tick tick tick tick

*scratches*

[vincegamer]

Jim, you should get that looked at. It might only be stress but it could be an early sign of epilepsi.

[supervike]

EEEK!

These painters and judges are in FULL SMACK mode!

Run away run away!

[Duende]

I have only just begun to reach Full Smackiness!

You can run but you can't hide!

:evil:

[orkydave]

:laugh: Get the lead out Tracey??? Im a married man!!!!!

[TAB Studio]

Oh my ....On this side of the pond it means move your ass orky. I plead ignorance as to ANY meaning that would piss off your wife or stoke your fire
....unless it keeps you busy..... yeah.... you thinking... yeah ... and makes it harder for you to work up a incredibly clever idea for this round.....hmmmm. YES orkydave , get that lead out baby :D

Put a WIP is in the gallery,

"Not finished yet..... Still have work to do!" (name that movie?)


Ps last answer the jerk...."Thats all I need"

[LavronYor]

that lamp and that paddleball....

very good.

[Stupidcow]

My entry is up in the gallery for you softies to genuflect upon.
:bowsucker

[TAB Studio]

Creat colors, Great looking mini.
Really good base and setting

[orkydave]

Eeek!!! Looks like I won't be done in time!!!

I will post as much as I do get done in the gallery though and brace myself for the lowest Iron painter score EVER!

*logs off and gets his lead out!*

[matty1001]

Im going to get my pic up soon, had done a tiny bit more, but nothing major. I was going to do a bit today, as I was off work, but my granny passed away 4.30am and I really can't be arsed with painting today, just to tired.

[TAB Studio]

I am sorry matty, please take care.

[Jubilee]

So sorry to hear it, Matty. My best wishes to you and your family.

[EldinTux]

Best wishes at this time matty.

[LavronYor]

Our collective thoughts are with you..

[Ritual]

Take care, Matty! :(

[Hinton]

Sorry to hear that, Matty.

[Thryth]

My condolences Matty.

[matty1001]

Cheers everyone. We kinda knew it would happen last night. She had been put on diomorphines (sp?) and although the doctors didn't say, my dad, being an industry nurse, knew. So it wasn't surprising, which took away the sting. Just chilled out today and played on the xbox with Lewis (little brother) which took our minds away from it. Going to start sorting things out properly tomorrow, then there's just the funeral to get done with.

[Wren]

My sympathies to you matty1001. It sounds like you're doing a great job of taking care of yourself and your family, I hope you keep remembering to do that.

[orkydave]

My thoughts and sympathy are with you and your family matty.

[Stupidcow]

You stay cool and strong Matty & all your close ones too.

I've done my commenting and voting. I posted the comments the proper way this time so y'all can read them right away. :) I felt I was harsh at times, but I think I managed to explain my reasoning so, hopefully, no one will be pissed off with me... :o:

You did great Anders. Appreciate all your honest constructive comments.

[Thryth]

Thanks for the feedback Ritual. I appreciate it. You didn't seem so harsh, but maybe I just got lucky. :)

Matty: I wish you and your family all the strenght you need. Take care.


Amders: Comments are very much appreciated Anders. Don't worry about being harsh... I didn't think you were.

Well, as I said to Hong earlier... I'm always anxious when I leave critique that it will be misinterpreted through language barriers and such... I don't have English as my native tongue and many others don't either. But, I'm glad that people seem to appreciate my comments for what they are! :)

You have better English skills than me lol I wish I knew Swedish aswell as you know English. (I blame the schools)

You're comments are fair, you have given me plenty of constructive (harsh?) critism in the past, and I have went away and improved on the figure. (My 40mm Artemis comes to mind)

After all the years I had not heard or known you lang was not English! You pull it off very well and must be intelligent as hell.
Thank you for your feed back and for the swiftness of your responses. I appreciate both.

Well I think your comments are incredibly harsh Ritual! What do you mean my unfinished mini needs some work in certain areas???!!!

(I know humour and sarcasam can be lost when written on the world wide t'interweb- especially when language barriers are involved so I would like to take this oportunity to formally advise the wyrd community that the above comment was intened as a bit of light hearted banter. I would also endeavour to inform you all that the author of this post (hereafter referred to as 'the post') has opted to continue this 'the post' , as is the authors democratic right , by including numerous and pointless big words in a futile attempt to confuse and bamboozle the afformentioned members whose primary language of communication, albeit written or verbal, is not her majestey the queens English. Mwaha ha haha!!!)

Now theres 30 seconds of your life you will never get back!

(also, if anyone can think of a big word for 'big word' could they let me know please?)

Congratulations TAB, I believe the deal was double or quits so be sure to send me your address to receive some mini related goodness.
