it´s been a very long while since I was posting something here.
Now it´s time again to return and write some posts for you, because I didn´t post anything doesn´t mean I didn´t paint or sculpt miniatures. One reason why there was a long silence was a commission, where I worked pretty long on, but isn´t really interesting to show because it was actually a style of painting and a mass of miniatures, which I don´t want to deal with anymore. But today I brought another commission with me, which I finished recently and also a WIP shot of an ongoing commission.
Space Marines Deathwatch Team, the quality level is somewhere between high gaming table quality and cabinet. After last commission it was quite refreshing although I painted so many Space Marines this year that I don´t want to paint even only one Space Marine for the next months.
I hope you like those minis, at least the customer was quite happy and that´s in my opinion the most important thing when doing commissions.
And here is the WIP shot of the actual project, if I am right informed the bust was a limited run from Games Workshop or Forgeworld and is probably very hard to get, if you want to paint one yourself. The sculptor behind this bust is Juan Diaz as far as I know. The painting progress isn´t too far at the moment as I mainly worked on the skin, where still some finishing steps are missing for my feeling. I also did some work on his horns and a baselayer for the eyes and hair. So still a little bit to do on him.
If you are interested in a commission yourself, you can contact me via my e-mail adress:
bene (at) massivevoodoo (dot) com for further information and details.
Beside that I will bring you some more finished personal projects in the next time.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and I will try to post a little more regular in the next weeks.
Cheers
Bene
Lovely marines.
ReplyDeleteReally sorry but the bit that got me excited was the words "Juan Diaz". Good to know he's sculpting non-GW stuff.
Ey Bene is back! Nice stuff my friend :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it's been a while, monsieur, but well not too hard for me at all as we see us regularly and we regularly paint together. I am really happy to read you again on MV and I think others are too. Your paintjobs are really cool. I do like the Marines as they are damn cool gaming pieces and that bust, well ... it's huge in real and I am really looking forward what you will do on him to a final result. Keep it up, monkey bro!
ReplyDeleteVa bené seniore Bene like those marines a lot ,but man drill out your Bolter ;-)

Beautiful. Drill out the barrel of that melta, dude ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your Comments!
ReplyDelete@Forte Nocturnus: Thanks. Yes, as far as I know Juan Diaz sculpts nowadays Non-GW stuff although this bust seems to be a work from him for GW.
@ Peter and Roman: Thanks my bro´s. It was about time to return to the blog ;). This time hopefully with more regular posts :).
@ Jens and Zab: Thanks. And yeah you are right, I should have drilled the muzzles of the weapons. I think I was just to motivated to start painting so I didn´t recognize that. Shame on me^^. Next time I will do it, although I hope that I don´t have Space Marines on my painting too soon again, haha.
Reale good mini-painting. Thanks for sharing THE pictures
ReplyDeleteHi Bene, nice work and "... although I hope that I don´t have Space Marines on my painting too soon again, haha." What a shame, your Deathwatch Marines just look cool, you probably should paint some more ;)
