Maniac Painting - Big Barbarian

[leszczyk]

Hi
It has been ages since I painted something.
Last week I was on a seek leave at work so finally got time to finish one paint job. Here it is:

Whoa, that is absolutely fantastic. Love the skin tones and the smoothness of that lion cloth.

[Ritual]

That is rather spiffy, indeed! I love that mini and you did a great job on it!

@Jim
What is a lion cloth? :hmmmm:

Luurrrvvveeerrrllly! Saved the pic because I may be working on something very similar ;)

[Thryth]

Very nice. Great work on the skin.

And there was me hoping for picture of a roided up nutcase slapping paint on a barbarian with his fists.....

nice work I have said this elsewhere but I really do kick mysel for not pickin up any Ilyad sclpts when they were about.. I'd love a crack at some....

[Wren]

I hear ya dh! I kept waiting for someone to bring them over to North America so I wouldn't have to deal with foreign sales and shipping, and that turned out not to have been a good plan...

This is a great piece of painting, I like the worn and well-used look of the weapon in particular. The loin cloth looks super too.

[leszczyk]

Thanks to all.
Especially for the appreciation of the NMM on the Axe and those spare parts of armour. I wasn't sure I made it the right way. Well I'm never sure and content when painting NMM. I just don't feel it enough.

Yes the cloth. I was afraid it didn't turn out highlighted enough. I know strong highlights look effective but I tend to go with smooth and mild one. I'm a great fan of realist when painting.

What's the deal with Illiad games models? Are they still available or what. I haven't heard of them for some time now.

Great model, and a beautiful paint job to go with it! Love the NMM- I'll never be a true metallics gal - NMM's photograph better, and when you're as good at it as you are, it also looks amazing in person.

woaw that is some super stuff! teh NMM is nice!

I believe they went belly up last year, unfortunately.

I believe they went belly up last year, unfortunately.

A bit more than a year ago, actually, since their sculptors (and possibly their artists) got switched over to HellDorado...

[leszczyk]

That's a shame. I loved some of their minis, especially from the barbarian range - there was some nasty barbarian female model. I wish I got that:/

P.S. Maybe there is a peoples forgotten store that still has some of those??
