Hello Cardboard Warriors,
inspired by kiladecus' love for the Undead and afet's definition of NPC, I've worked on this deadly vicious LICH CLERIC. Maybe his red rotten robe is a bit dark, but I imagine him scheming plots in dim catacombs ... ;D

Red, dark, old and starting to rot ... I think the color is 'dead on'
I like it

...inspired by kiladecus' love for the Undead I didn't know kiladecus was into that.  That figure is really great Paladin. I hope you have time to post more. |

I am really happy that you like it, thank you, verminking and Tommygun ! I always tend to end in a more high-detailed, painterly style (this takes time), but I also enjoy the more clear (eye-friendly) "vector"-style of Reivaj and Sirrob. Reivaj's Mantid Warriors are already looking awesome without any further shading tricks. ...inspired by kiladecus' love for the Undead I didn't know kiladecus was into that. I think I exaggerated, but looking at kiladecus' avatar, who knows ... ;D Yes, Tommygun, I want to do some more miniature stuff. Monthly Hoard is a good practice (God bless the founding father Jim Hartman !). I will show my work of the last months very soon (Ruin Tile Set). I am fascinated by the possibilities of gfx software and copyshop printers to enhance roleplaying (or wargaming). I am watching you guys for some time now ;D. Great times. |

I couldn't agree more. Hope you are doing well Jim.

Hi Reivaj ! I hope you're refreshed to shade/color your flashy Mantids. They will be fine. I've seen your (huge)"Tiamat"-Mini today somewhere, so I've no doubt . Hehe, I am glad you like my boss undead too ... contributing 1 mini per month should be realistic, though the themes are quite different. You could start thinking about tri-legged alien go-go-girls, drunken asteroid miners or starbase ground personal personnel, Reivaj ... ;D |

Hello Sirrob, I like your humorous style too. Please, don't be too strict with Reivaj. Give him time to finish his bug characters. I know, that Jim had set up a deadline rule for monthly hoard, but there could be a leeway. We're not dozens of contributers (sadly  ), so no need for mass organisation principles ;D. EDIT: one question, Sirrob: my Lich is 300 dpi PNG. I scaled him using Jim Hartman's 30 mm Fantasy Sketch Template. The "labels" under its feet are pure fantasy in regard to any mini-base-scales. Can you work with it as it is, or do I have to change something ? |

Sirrob sure I'll finish at least one. Give me even one more day.  Paladin thanks for the support |

@ Reivaj Since you ask: the past tense of " to send" is "sent." ;D

Yes, the English language is like that ...

Those things are fantastic, Reivaj. Do you think it would be possible to get more in that series?

Post by Reivaj on Feb 4, 2011 8:51:32 GMT -9
Yes, will be more of that things !! ;D I already have the the one with the spear (the right one in the pic) front and back, but i must put color and texture. I wish to make more of these Trhi-kreen warriors. I will post them soon. Thanks for the support |

Cool. My first mini in the hoard.  But of course, the Lich is still much too dark. I think, I have a problem in my toolchain: old samsung 750p, which I tried to gamma-correct a while ago, cause prints were also much too dark. I have now a custom monitor profile I use with GIMP. But still those problems. I think, the PNG-Lich on the Hoard thread is lighter on my monitor, isn't he !? How do you guys see him on your monitors ? Lighter ? Darker ? Thanks for your efforts, Sirrob. Hmh. Comparing the lich with your and Reivaj's excellent work, I have to think about parduz' argument of more-fitting-in style choice.

I love your lich, it´s great. I like the texture work on it!. Will you post a mini to the indian hoard?? I´ll be waiting for other of your minis |

LOL. Thank you, Reivaj for your encouragement. I will try to submit something to Wild West (interesting topic). I want to work in YOUR shaman style. Much simpler and clearer. I have to try this. Also your method of collecting a database of parts and face expressions as vectors is interesting for series of minis. |
