Demonette 54mm

I am so glad to paint this miniature by Allan Carasco. It was my first chaos creature.  I tried to find my own solution because it's impossible for me just to close to the author's painting level. In addition, a taste of my customer was on the violet-skin side. So I chose  a fantastic Demon from Raffaele Picca as my inspiration. 
Finally I like this result very much because I was so afraid to start this work for  about a month.   It was my first experience of painting 54 mm miniature. And I can say that it is really difficult for me to blend colors on such large surfaces. 
Also, I've tried to mix metallics and HMM, and I like it. Metallics add natural shining for armor parts.Though it seems a  little bit  harder for me. And It was a first time I painted a blood on my miniatures!

A Winter Angel is ahead!


It's a great news: a new hobby project Russian alternative was born in the chaotic depths of russian miniature community some times ago. 
And its nearest plans are: 
      - 25.01.2012 - a painting competition on-line "Tatyanin day", female miniatures only. (And I had already sent my work for it!)
       - 17.03.2012 - a global painting miniatures competition "Winter Angel". This competition will be really ambitious, as invited to attend all comers. Now there are more than 40 people in a list of participants and  I see there such names as Cyril Kanayev, Natalia Melnik and others very, very good artists. And we're expecting a really star judging: Ben Komets, Matt Cexwish and Jose Manuel Palomares Nuñez. Of course, I and my husband will take part in it (what to do, what to paint?!!!), because it's impossible to miss such event in Moscow!

Paladins of Alahan. Confrontation.

When I hear the word "paladin" I always imagine a knight in a pearl armor, beautiful and bright, with a sword punishing an evil. That's what I tried to put in the atmosphere of this squad. And I like the result:
 


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:
