CG's Model of the week

[darknesseternal]

Firstly, apologies MV for highjacking your topic, but when I saw this mini, I just had to share it with others.

It's a Reaper mini, Crypt of the Vampiress. It usually comes along with a crypt, treasure chest, and candalabra (I have the mini myself waiting to be painted), but in this case, the person who painted it used a gravestone from another Reaper blister, and then made the candle out of green stuff and stuff called 'Woodland Scenics Water Effects'. They did this as they wanted to the source lighting to come from below, rather than above as would happen if they had used the tall candalabra. Though they have done two lots of source lighting. One lot from the candle, and then moonlight lighting from above to give more subdued, moody lighting.

It totally astonishes me the level that some people can paint at. Mindblowing. :| Anyways, I nominate this for mini of the week/month.

The last one was for the Lahmian lovers out there, aka Those With All The Taste And Good Judgement..

But this one is for the Blood Dragons amongst us. Hell, even though I will deny to the grave (not sure how that works since being Undead, I don't really have to worry about the grave, but hey) that I willingly voted for Blood Dragon in the 'who is your favourite bloodline poll', and it was nothing more than confusion with the new CN site set up at the time, I can give props where they are due. This mini is absolutely freakin' amazing! It could only be better if it were Lahmian..

A question here, why is it that EVERY damned female model in fantasy insist upon wearing nothing but G-string and a bed sheet? More importantly, where are they in real life? A nice dress isnt too much to ask for, is it..? It´s a vampire after all, not a pornstar in Buffy the vampire layer.

Awesome painting though, especially the light-effect.

Cheers

Three more very nice minis.

I think that the mounted vampire would have been better with less cartoonish designs on the horse, but otherwise very nicely done.

I agree with dancey's comments, but think that it is the nicest of the three. I particularly like the rose on the ground and the way the hanging clothing (what there is of it) is reminiscent of wing shape.

The demon is well done, and do like the body effect (it could be used for ghouls as an alternative scheme imo), and again agree with dancey's comment on this. I think the quality of the victim is far lower than the demon. I also think the 'sea of blood' is a little bright, but that could be the photo.

That said, I would be more than happy to produce anything even approaching these.

I believe you just answered your own question by summing up why it's called 'fantasy'

Anyways, all the Lahmian models that GW have done are in dresses. Am awaiting to see what the rumoured new female Vamp model looks like. I'm thinking it will have the nice dress look you are wanting if it is going to be from the Von Carstein line.

Sure... but I´m thinking of a different "fantasy"
