Massive Changes on MASSIVE VOODOO

submitted from Roman aka jar | Labels: | Posted On 24 November 2009 at 10:49 AM

aloa,

or you may also this the jungle drums from Berlin. Finally reached there yesterday, BIG thx to my man Andi for rocking the road to Johnny Cash and Elvis and for this wonderful hour of pure melancholie with the artist Hans Soellner on a shiny, rainy road with lights from the cars around... there are those moments you know, where this is some kind of listening to your soul - thanks for sharing this one with such a great placement... looking forward to see you this week in this crazy big city :)

Massive Changes? Ohhhh nooo not more Apes without bananas going crazy in the jungle to sweet electro bongo vibes... oh no, you might think or not, if you don't then there is a reason to read a bit further down below...

Arrived in Berlin. After 5 Minutes i had the feeling of being at home sweet home again. Awesome people in here, guess you felt how speechless you made me - i am thankful of these hours spent here with you like you wouldn't think...

And there he was... mati, the BADSMILE. After knowing him a while through the strange paths crossing the internet and really enjoyed moments of a soulful chat. There he was, with his very nice queen and his little prince and ... yeah, what can i say, he was as i did knew him from the internet, one of the nicest persons i ever know... just in real! That's very cool - bow!

 I also knew before that MASSIVE VOODOO is always growing, a jungle can't stand still or it wouldn't be a jungle... Now another Ape crosses the path of the Big BananA search of life and wonders...

Mati, welcome my friend - i am honoured to have you here with us...

Punk Funk!

Roman

What is this thing called mistery...

submitted from Roman aka jar | Labels: | Posted On 23 November 2009 at 12:24 AM

... why should it make a fool of me?



Sorry for posting this in here but my heart aches by looking at this serious sniping going over on CMON, the picture is actual not active, so all the votes came from this blog - i don't really care about it anymore when sometimes i got the feeling of some sniper activity at my miniatures, i don't care about numbers above miniatures, i care about the photos and the minis - i got balls like coconuts in that subject (trained hard you know) and really someone sniping around simply ain't got them...

Mkay... this night grows old and i got to travel to Berlin tomorrow to visit one of the Happy Painting guys on this planet a bit further away... his balls are heavy as bowling balls and i still got to get my bags ready, guess tomorrow before being picked up, haha... ok, not really intresting i know... coming to the essence of my blabla... mystery... serious sniping from a ballless brain - check this out:

http://coolminiornot.com/237544

I had to post this, because Raffa is a really good friend of mine, a brother on the brush, so i had to post this - even i feel my balls heavy - it really seems to be raining all the time in those tiny hearts of those snipers... what a wasteful use of time, haha ... get some balls ;)

At the moment i did post this the linked "CoolminiorNot" got a 7.7 with 31 votes... ah, my balls are itching...

Now what you think? Yeah, i am weirdo... Let the sun in your heart:)

Keep on happy painting!
Regards
Roman

PS: This message in banner format:



I am not sorry for those who might feel angry or ashamed now... :)

Keep on happy painting! I needa go to bed, get my stuff packed tomorrow and always remember a number over a picture which shows a painted miniature
shouldn't be your every days sorrow, really not...

Subject 14 - Day 213

submitted from Raffaele Picca | Labels: , , , , | Posted On 22 November 2009 at 5:11 PM

Hey everyone!

Phew! Finally i finished this piece which will be the first (but not chronologically...) in a set of miniatures that'll tell a small story in a fictional universe.



Day 213:
Salival and S14 were on a little trip to the old fair collecting some funny balloons...
They grow together each and every day.
It's some kind of love, the kind of love king kong had for ann, to protect her like a little sister, little does he know about the powers that sleep inside her...


The Miniatures used were Rose by Hasslefree and a heavy converted King Maulg from Kraken Editions - ArteFactory.

The Gun was scratchbuild based on a GW gun (i think from a sentinel) and the rest was sculpted and scratch build (harness, gas mask, gastank, balloons).

If you want to see some more WiP Pictures, just write it in the comments!
You want to vote on CMON? Sure! Clicky Clicky..

I hope you like it! :)

Cheers,
Raffaele

Kong Fu? Tutorial Wishes...

submitted from Roman aka jar | Labels: , | Posted On 21 November 2009 at 3:32 AM

Aloa,

as i told you before there is another posting to hide the Happy Hippo from the eyes of my girlfriend... damm shouldn't write this in the first sentence up here, haha.

Ok, what brings me to another Kong Fu?

I guess it is about the Private Message boxes that are going to fill up lately around some places - really recieving a lot of questions lately about how i had done this and that or how i do this or how i would do this... and i am really sorry not to have the energy to answer them all. So if you are one of those where an answer will never drop in - please be sure i am not doing this because i don't want too... it is only the fact that my spare time is limited or i am limiting it myself in the time i spend on the internet...

I am trying to bring up everything i could think of or you did ask for or might ask in the future on this blog here someday - that is why i did it, to concentrate everything at one place, to get things right with my time management. So please don't feel not seen by me when you don't get an answer back... it isn't meant that way...

Now i got the idea of this posting - it also will be linked easy reachable in the future...  

The Tutorial Wish place...




At this posting there is nothing important in my words here, except for that saying sorry above as i did. This place is yours - for asking about Tutorials you really want to see up to MASSIVE VOODOO... just drop a comment what you miss or ever wanted to know and we could make a little schedule plan out of it...

For sure, we can not promise things on time, being damm good tutorials in the end or as fast as we can... things happen when they do and as you have seen since the start of MASSIVE VOODOO i guess here has happened a lot.

Just be patient with us and drop us a line in which you shortly tell us what you'd like to see...

Here is a list what drops in and with which we keep us informed about what we could do or can't at the moment - just for organising...

Planned Tutorials:

- Translating some older ones, i guess still a lot... :)
- Further Painting Technique Explanations
- Leather
- Snow
- Object Source Lightning



______________________________________________________________

Now it is up to you to add something to this area... keep them rolling in by posting a comment...

Hope this is a good idea, for me it feels good as i got a bit paniced lately about the high risen numbers of incoming questions... again sorry - i mean this from the heart...


Keep on happy painting!
Regards
Roman and the MASSIVE VOODOO Jungle boys...

PS: Link added to the start of the Tutorial section... 


Happy Hippo finished...

submitted from Roman aka jar | Labels: | Posted On at 2:09 AM

Ok, now i am really serious - painted this little fella up as a birthday gift to my girlfriend... she now lives with me and miniature madness since 5 years and this is the first miniature i am not scared of trying to give it to her to her birthday...

The model itself comes from a Kinder-Surprise-Egg and was given to me as funny chocolate gift from my neighbour. She really didn't know what she had done - she really made a Happy Kong this day, with this little guy in the chocolate egg...  i had to paint him and finally i got the right reason for it. Her birthday is on Sunday and i am really looking forward to give it to her... i can't tell you how much fun i had painting him. I also got my girlfriend to do sculpt another rose, after she had done one in wax and bigger a while ago - i got her to do something for this little fella, that is so cool... check him out - really something different, haha.

Happy Hippo - Ferrero - repaint




As i do know my girlfriend very well i also know that she isn't looking in here after all... i hope so... nah, i am trying to post as soon as i can something above this...

For sure the Happy Hippo is also up to CMON!

Keep on happy hippo... ähm, yapp...
