posted by Oli, HonourGuard, silver leaf
I start with some facts about me. My real name is Oliver, but I prefer Oli ;)
I am 18 years old, but I am soon 19. I come from Aichwald a little village 20 km next to Stuttgart. Did I forget anything important?^^
Okey lets come to my creative site. I paint Miniatures for a really long time now, but at first I just wanted to get my army painted and used the figures for gaming. And a mini was finished in 10-20 minutes^^
Then 2 years ago, I was at the Miniatures Art Convention, a cool paint event from Freebooter Miniatures. Then I saw what is possible to do on such a small piece of metal. Then I used the Internet for learn new techniques. I didnt know anything about blending or NMM before. The first tries didnt look really good ;D But I think I could improve my skills much in this 2 years.
Yea, before I forget, my *artist name* is HonourGuard, some of you may know me from other sites.
And now I am gonna show you what I have paint in the last months:
This JMD bust, brought me Gold in the Fantasy Master Painting Categorie at the Duke of Bavarian, I am very proud of this, because I entered it, in the standart category at first, and I thought it didn't win anything. And then they call my name in the master class :P
Ye, and a bigger Picture of the bust, the cape made me crazy, I had to mix the colour 20 times for finish it^^
And my latest finished Mini, a super detailed Mini from Red Box Games. But they are so tiny..^^
And finally a crazy Rackham Mini.
I am gonna post more in the future, because I have not many more pictures on my Pc at the moment.
you can find the other miniatures in my CMON gallery:

Some very nice models you've shown us so far, thank you!
Glad to see the jungle expanding, and I'll be looking forward to seeing more from your hands!
Your Yodleur Cascade is really amazing. There were some others of this bust in the contest but yours has been the very best of them.
Looking forward of what you're going to paint next...
Awesome work, Oli.
I wish you a lot of fun in the jungle...you are really a great artist with colours
Glad you did find your way in the jungle without much complications :)
Really great to see your lovely work here in the jungle. I can't wait to see more. I love mostly all of your work, but for me personal i love your latest Red Box Games Magician the most, beside the bust. Feel welcome and post whenever you like.
