But I'm intensifying my efforts in hope to get good enough to start producing entire figures in the foreseeable future. Perhaps when I'm more sure of what I'm doing I'll demonstrate my process in detail. :)Ana Polanscakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475924332253440189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-64243386085361422082017-05-02T20:01:55.946+02:002017-05-02T20:01:55.946+02:00Thank you Dai!Thank you Dai!Ana Polanscakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475924332253440189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-80131813249781633652017-05-02T20:01:38.146+02:002017-05-02T20:01:38.146+02:00Thanks!

It also has sort of a creepy mask look, something like what you might see headhunters wear, so I could certainly see that same head being used on human henchmen/cultists, but painted as more of a mask.

I'm happy it's visible. :)<br /><br />My basing work has improved over the years, if I say so myself. I use a variety of products, including flock, static grass, tufts, tiny leaves, sand... I'll be glad to dedicate a post, or a part of one, to explaining it in depth. I'm working on a handful of new minis now whose bases will do perfectly for a tutorial.Ana Polanscakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475924332253440189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-24607350240949500112017-05-01T17:10:03.569+02:002017-05-01T17:10:03.569+02:00Thank you very much Joshua!Thank you very much Joshua!Ana Polanscakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475924332253440189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-41694085313346406912017-05-01T12:31:40.087+02:002017-05-01T12:31:40.087+02:00Really nice!

I like it alot that certain characters reappear in different places, like here the devil is first in a book held by one of your miniatures and then he appears as a new miniature as well (the same with the white wolf with the bullet wounds)! It gives more depths, like creating a new chapter in history for these characters!<br /><br />On an other note: I really like the forest basing on your recent miniatures and on the backdrop Would you mind sharing what you use and which techniques you apply?MarKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359553317221028077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-90040828357530273742017-05-01T11:45:26.584+02:002017-05-01T11:45:26.584+02:00Disturbing in the best possible manner!
