Aloa,
some finished stuff is ready to be shown, but I guess most of it needs explanation ...
First there is another little Christmas gift called "Band of Bibabs", done with Flames of War Figures in 15 mm. This needs explanation for sure I guess.
Bibab means Brother in brushes and brain - who is Raffa aka Picster to me. My bibab. This little 15 mm diorama was a quick Christmas gift for him and the soldiers are protecting a little pig they've found in the destroyed city. They believe it brings luck to their squad. So with this gift I wish my bibab also a healthy portion of luck for 2012.
The next one is a little girl from the Range of Privateer Press.
There was a big organised order of these girls over on the Bemalforum.de to get several of them as they are on Sale also as single pieces. Many thanks to Julius again for organising this. She is indeed damn tiny but was a lot of fun to paint for the first time - this shall mean it won't be the last time I did one of them as I got way too many of them now. This one will be given away as a gift too. My first version is called Zombie Girl and there is a little story to tell ...
The next one is a comissioned Diorama that started with the Flesh Golem by Rackham.
At last year's painting class in Berlin I was asked by a participant if I want to paint that beast on comission and we had some brainstorm about the story beside as he wishes for a little diorama.It grew to the point that some Red Box Games Goblins are up to no good by touring around the graveyards to robb the goodies of the dead and you know: Never steal from the dead!
I really liked the idea of a Treasure Guardian that protects his masters gold with his lifeless magical body made out of Zombieflesh from those little nasty robbers. Another cool socket by Sockelmacher.de helped me realize it. And as you can see I have used some of Forged Monkey's Dayglow Pigments - they are pretty asskicking. Get yours here!
So far - soon more to come, but the Painting Class in Hamburg is gently rolling closer and time gets limited from now on I guess but you never know. Let me know what you think or just say "Banana" if you like to say something! I like the word Banana very much :)

Keep on happy painting!
Best Wishes

"She is the one who misses her family,
even they are Zombies now.
The little Zombie girl can't sleep that long,
as she is a little kid that wants to play mostly all of the day.
She knows soon their parents will get up from their sleep
to share the joy of being a family even beyond death."

Woah this treasure golem looks uber.
How did you make those shields/nameplates (Namensschilder)- i love them.
Very nice gift for raffa with the pig that brings luck for his shop.
Your crazy (in a very positive way) to paint eyes on such a tiny mini like zombie girl oO
Treasure Guardian is just BÄÄÄÄM - another masterpiece. Hope to see it at HvB
Serafin
I'd also like to know about those nameplates, they look really nice. The treasure guardian is really awesome. Awesome sauce!
Grundgütiger! Bananaaaaaa!!!! Absolut tolles Diorama. Die kleinen grünen Jungs scheinen im Goldrausch ihre Chancen ein wenig unrealistisch einzuschätzen. Ich befürchte für ein ordentliches Begräbnis wird später nicht mehr genug von ihnen übrig sein.
Die Dayglow-Effekte kommen auf den Fotos gut heraus.
Das kleine Zombimädel könnte aus einem Tim Burton Film stammen. Coole Grufti-Atmosphäre.
Oh my Banana God! Awesome!
@Serafin
The nameplates are from the company "FALLER" but as far as I know they are not produced anymore - check the www to find some - I would search for "Store signs" from FALLER, they are all made from metal.
Thanks to you for your comment - glad you like the painted miniatures and yes the little girl is so tiny - I was brave but scared at the same time when I tried to bring eyes to her.
@Stryke
Thank you very much!
@Ecthelion + Neurolinked
Check the answer to Serafin, there is the info!

Gnarrggll! This is still an international and english language spoken blog - no offence at all, but I won't support german language in the jungle, except for the article section. It is just unfair to all our readers if we would sometimes chat in german.
Many thanks for your comment - really enjoyed your interpretation of the upcoming massacre on the graveyard!
Hi Jar,
Your finished Miniatures are great (as always) but the Treasure Guardian is more than awesome in so many ways. I cant stop looking at this masterpiece. I love the color mood of the scenery. I love the skin tones of the Guardian. Its full of character and love.
Truly inspirational work.
I would ask you to do a few more detail shots. The inspiration from the fotos could last for years ;)
Best regards
Dhark
I'm sorry, my enthusiasm was faster than the reaction capability of the english speaking part of my brain ;)
