I've really got to stop letting my friends name my miniatures. This is Twocans Bowlass, a Demigods Evolution model named Sentinel. She was rather fun to paint, and not just because I'm a deviant who enjoyed painting a pinup model, but because she's well made and I really liked the expression.

This model was an attempt at a single light source in a dark room, diffused a little like the opening of a cave in the distance. The shadows around her feed are painted on. The photos, in hindsight, came out a little dark so I stylised a couple for fun. Skin is a single dark glaze colour (applied over several layers) over the light flesh tone with highlighting to white to give a slightly dirty effect that I like.

I hope you enjoy it, this is my entry for the crystal dragon this year.

I've really got to stop letting my mates name my miniatures. Say hello to Danelliad the Impetuous, High Warden of Westralia, as so named by my mate Alex who was to supply the shield in return for naming rights, but I ended up free handing one instead.

When I was last at my parent's house I stole this miniature from my father to paint for him as a gift for his birthday. He's seen it already and is heading over soon for a trip and I'll give it to him to take home. It's the first time I've painted a miniature as a gift, also my first high elf model and I don't feel nearly as clean as I expected to feel after finishing it up.

I had fun with the cloak testing out some techniques for textured material. The NMM was really good fun on this guy too. i think a little sharper contrast on the helmet and mail would have been nice but I'm happy with the result. Most of all I'm happy to take away a first place at MOAB's painting comp in the single figure category for the 2nd year running.

Hope you like it.
