It made creating the crackling effect trickier, though, since everything was so stretched out with the longer beam. Here are the pictures:

Second Eldar Fire Prism (cracking energy effect)
This is a freshly completed piece, but it is actually the second of its kind that I have done. A few years ago, the buyer requested a Fire Prism with some manner of sculpted energy effect. That was the "old style" Prism with the metal turret pieces. I definitely liked working with the plastic version better in terms of the weight and worries about top heaviness!

WOW, seriously this is hands down the best looking Eldar vehicle I have seen, so much awesome here, from paintnting to modeling to the OSL and color scheme. Would like to throw you a link on my Blogger's Best series.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am glad someone enjoyed this piece, since it was so much work! I don't know how many times I had to touch up something due to me losing my grip on one of the akward shaped parts, causing the brush filled with paint to hit an area that I had finished earlier ... craziness!
ReplyDeleteIMPRESSIVE... thats the only thing I can say now...
ReplyDeleteYour work is very impressive. Do you do commission work?
ReplyDeleteYes, that is actually how we make our living :-) It keeps us really busy, that's for sure! I am working up a page for the blog that has prices for 40k and fantasy miniatures of various sizes and types.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the process for discussing a potential commission with you?
ReplyDeleteUsually the buyer sends me a request of what needs to be done, and I send back my best estimate. If everything is OK, we work out a basic timeframe (there are certain times of year that can get crazy for us with our painting schedule!)
ReplyDeleteThe buyer then sends me whatever figures need to be painted, and I begin the prepping process. If the color scheme is pretty standard, I just jump right in to all the painting. Sometimes, however, a 'color test' mini is done just to be sure everyone is on the same page.
As things are completed, I send images like the one you see here on the blog. At that point, I request a paypal payment of whatever the amount is. It it is needed right away, I can ship it out, but it is better to allow for multiple minis to be shipped, so that I can cinstruct a honecomb box which is really strong!
I hoe that helps...
Do you have an email that I can reach out to with my request?
ReplyDeleteMy address is jtwart2@aol.com
ReplyDeleteHi James, congrats on reaching 100K visits and thanks for all the amazing updates.
ReplyDeleteI've tried emailing a couple of times regarding a commission but haven't heard back, maybe my email is getting sucked into the warp somewhere along the way. I can be reached at tomaandi at yahoo dot com. Thanks!
