Wow that looks like Ghost Rider who got conscripted into the army... nice work!

I'm not sure if i like the imagery of a usa soldier in vietnam era uniform throwing fireballs - it's a tad close to home.

[leonmallett]

While I can accept that it would be especially so if say he was equipped with a flame-thrower, I think the fact that he is wreathed in flame power does differentiate from that kind of imagery, but I respect your viewpoint.

I can see your point....... but then, it doesn't take a genius level intellect to work out the inspiration for this character........

love the paintjob leon, hopefully I will bump into you at salute and see some of these guys in the metal...

Cheers TWT.

I should be demo'ing PC for part of the day, so come over.

As for minis, Sgt. Bale Extreme (as I call him!) will be in the USA by then (I hope!).

Recent additions:

Crimson Oni






Shadow Mask

Is it a videogame character (because I don't get it) or do you genuinely mean napalm bombing during the war? - we still get dioxin warnings here, can't eat fruit from the garden. Like I said, it's (literally) close to home

nevermind.



Red and Black both look like they're cell shaded - intentional technique? Must really pop IRL.

[leonmallett]

Hi maddOctOr; the inspiration for Sgt. Bale Extreme is kind of Ghost Rider meets Team 7 (old Wildstorm characters) mash-up - so comics all the way.

As for the two new ones, just my painting technique and maybe how they were photographed rather than aiming for some specific effect.

Long while since I last posted....

Ninjas:






Tanuki

[EmperorNorton]

I'm not exactly sure what a Tanuki is, but it is very well done. The colours work very well together and I like that it was done with a limited palette.

[leonmallett]

Thank you very much sir!

He is supposed to be some kind of raccoon-dog spirit, but since Le mMrtiple had a striped tail, I stayed away from doing that on this mini.

Is it just me who thinks Stalker looks like he's peeing into the mailbox?

Marking his territory?

What is a jungle cat to do in the big city, except mark territory? That's mine, that's mine, that's mine...[peeing as he goes]

Grimm Digger (second version):



Captain Hadron and his Mini Hadron version:

[Daniel36]

For some of those characters, I just wish the aesthetic was 8-Bit NES style miniatures. Some of them feel like they could have been straight from a Street Fighter - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade - Double Dragon - Battle Toads - Streets of Rage - Golden Axe ultra mash up.

In fact, I should trademark/copyright/whatever that idea. I shall call it (S)Mash-Up - the Side Scrolling Beat 'em Up Table Top Skirmish Game.
Sounds like I could actually pull it off with Kickstarter, lol!

[juicytomatoes]

Nice painting on the Grim Digger. Good to see you again leon!

[leonmallett]

Cheers Daniel and JT.

The Digger has me channeling a little bit of 90's GW style in the orange highlighting! LOL.

[leonmallett]

At last Giant Hadron! Capt. Hadron pictured in all his variations:

[juicytomatoes]

wow you've made the big guy look really good! The colors are nice and vivid and very well highlighted.

[leonmallett]

Thanks JT.

I have shown this on my blog, but here is everything I have painted for this project so far:
