Irix (Ultimate Edition). 2.0 version

It is so beatiful miniature! I love it so much!!!
It was endless pleasure and fun to paint this amazing wolfen woman.
I painted it for Spring Angel 2013 and it took 2d place in Monster category.
4 years ago I had painted first version of Irix (http://www.coolminiornot.com/224110) and I still like that color scheme (but not painting techniques).
(and it version have some fans :)))) like this for example http://www.coolminiornot.com/325611)

Beetle woman

It was very fast and strange to work with this miniatures. Unusualy for me. So many colours! 
I planed to paint this girl in green and brown.
But SHE wanted to be like a beetle, something like Maybug, with iridescent shell (armor).
Now I am very sad that I was scared to varnish it (with gloss varnish). O! She needs to shimmering and shining.
And I so like mushrooms...

"Сaught by light flash"


  The history of this miniature bith began a long time ago. It was a collective project on Russian Alternative forum (now closed) with a pair of russian artist to paint a military girl, which was not ended together. But I've came to finish! (It's better late then never).
  And I took it to Hussar 2013 so you could see it there.

White speaker Nico

Another KD miniature for Ravenswood :)
(Previous was Mother )
I painted it for Hussar 2013, but it was fiasco.

Bezhukk

For a long time I had a painting dream other then a winning the contests. This dream was simple: to paint a box art to any miniature producer. Many time passed but still no one wants my box art. So I  tired to wait this moment  and I've decided that I will do all by myself: produce the mini and paint the box art.
And now I'm very proud to introduce you both first mini of my own line and my first box art.
This is the Bezhukk the Immortal, a dwarf mercenary.

"Loneliness"

Good day!
Found in my collection this small dog. Unfortunately I do not know the author of the sculpture, bought it at one store in Prague, the seller also was not well informed of who the author is.

I wanted to do something "real", something catchy. Ashes, rain, houses gone, hopeless cold and wet.

Доброго времени суток!
Завалялась у меня такая собака. К сожалению не знаю автора скульптуры, покупал в одном Пражском магазине, продавец тоже не был в курсе, кто автор, так понял кто-то из местных.

Захотелось сделать что-то "настоящее", что-то цепляющее. Пепелище, дождь, дома не осталось, безнадега и мокрый холод.

  One more piece for my husband's DA army!

"Revenge of the nature". Finish.

Greetings! The latest version of Epic Dragons Battles.
At the Spring Angel was unlucky, but a little more luck on the Crystal hammer. Third in the Dioramas. Yeeeha!
I tried to make a big project for a limited period of time. My mistake. Looks are not as perfect as I'd like, but overall not bad. =)
Totaly 33 sm. from ground (including base)

"Revenge of the nature". Sculpting. W.I.P.


And so, let me share the latest work. Subject fairly trite, but do not lose relevance, probably never. Alive Dragon (symbolizing nature) and Industrial Monster (representing technology).
I made it especially for the Spring Angel 2013. Work has not passed in to the Final. Time for a decent painting was not enough for me.
Today the picture only in the "material", but from me the final photo and video ;)

Crystal Hammer 2013

ОК! Our Serpentarium On the Crystal Hammer 2013! Really a lot of prizes!

This is our judge - Dmitry Fesechko. A hard work, and he's so serious. He looks like Johnny Depp or
Nikolai Gogol ... Anyway, a very talanted and creative person!

Oil training of the masses.

Greater Good to ALL!

Finally, we were able to meet with our small but poisonous team.
The reason was -  a small master class from YellowOne about painting with oil. This technique proved to be very exciting, it provides an opportunity to make blending quickly and smoothly.
Yes, and unfiltered beer with porto wine was good too :)
