Work in progress for another, yet smaller, iron hands banner! Attachment 216195
Finished! What do you think? Does it work?

So, I tried to start up a bit of Warhammer fantasy action! The plan is to revive some of the chaos warriors and also start a new army of combined elves!
Here is the first dragon prince.

I cant wait to see what you'll do with the elf
I'll give him some friends! But I'm thinking about colors. Hmm.. At the moment I'm thinking black, blue, turquoise on the high elves. Black, green, turquoise on the wood elves and the dark elves will get black, emerald green and turquoise. In my head it looks awesome.
Goblin chariot banner for a customer. :-)
He wanted quite the specific looks on this one and the next! The goblin is based on Toadie from gummie bears haha!

Your bannerwork is really, really awesome! Great job!
Wow. Rarely have I seen such quality freehand banners.
Keep 'em coming.
You are amazing with the bannerwork. Absolutely amazing.
I always like seeing High Elves that aren't your normal light blue/white.
Those are some of the best freehand banners I've seen.
Wow, thank you guys! Glad you like it. And here I have some more for you. Latest comission is done. Next up, beastmen and a Squat banner!

Painted me a beastman! I put down alot of effort on the metals, buy I think the photo does not do it credit.

Old School! Looks like Paul Sawyer's beastmen from ages past. Very nice painting.
That's the best skin I've seen on a beastman. Actually this might be my favorite beastman I've ever seen, something about those colors just really speaks to me.
Those banners are great!!!
Hello! Here are some of the things I have been working on. A old school Squat banner, old beastmen and some nurgle champions, and now I'm working on my Veteran Sergeant for my Viper Marines. I will see if I find some more pics of the beastmen! They where super fun to paint!

Some really great work there.
Loving the beastmen and the marine is looking very good too...so dark and brooding.
Great colours on the chaos warband. I like the skin tone on the nurgle guy and the snake tounge guys tounge. Im sure they have proper names like Colin or Brian but I dont know them.
Haha, yes probably Colin!
Anyway, thanks for looking, and hey.. I got something for you!
First i tried a new look on a high elf banner with a dragon. And then I tried some new colors and made a cool looking slaanesh banner. :-) I'm selling these, so if you are interested just send me a message!

Please tell me that that banner is actually 4x1 meters...
Well.
I give up. You win at all the painting. Ever.

I have to say that this is making me want to paint more and learn how to do that for myself. I like what I have seen here. How long did it take for you to be comfortable in painting freehand banners.
Thank you! Well, I have been painting or drawing, or been creative all my life. So I have no special date that I felt comfortable. It's more an akin curiosity for how far I can go. And how much I can learn and get better. :-) have you seen my tutorial earlier in this thread or on my Facebook page, Jonas Wideen Miniatures? I tried to nail down how I do it. But then again, I evolve all the time too, as everyone else. My tip is to just go for it and do it as much as possible!
Cheers /Jonas

Thanks for the advice I have liked your facebook page as I like seeing your painting. I will try painting so freehand banners for my Iron Warriors then.
That banner is looking so good.
im still hoping you will do crimson fists one day... or something like that.
Then you are in for a future treat.....! Attachment 218845

Well. I am getting alot of comission work from all over the world at the moment! And I'm very very happy about that. Because it makes me able to make people happy, and make myself happy, and also I get to paint what I love the most!
But I forget to paint for myself! I have a whole marine army and also warriors of chaos plus a wood elf army to build and paint. I'm going to collect am Eldar army too and possibly another orcs and goblins army. But then I need to take some time to actually paint for myself too!
Here is a sketch for a banner design for a company standard for my Astra Vipera.
What do you think? Oh I just remembered that I need to put the company number on it. Attachment 219339
And here is a wip of a banner I'm painting for Star Phantoms! It's really big, but supposed to be a chapter banner. Attachment 219340
Oh and here is the finished War Griffons banner! Reaver Titan banner. Comission too. Hope you like it! It was made after a old banner design, Slightly changed. Attachment 219342
And also, I have started to paint the board game Forbidden Stars for a customer. Nothing special, just splash paint on them. This is the Eldar force and there is orks, space Marines and chaos Marines plus buildings left. Alot of miniatures in that box! Attachment 219343
Anyway. I will try and be better att writing in here and keep this place as a kind of blog.
In the future you will be able to see quite alot of action in here. I will be painting for myself, for people who reach out to me to paint freehand for them and also I have started to work for Siege Studios too. The future is bright, slightly grim/dark, and fun!
Stay tuned for more. If you want to you can see more progress at Jonas Wideen Miniatures on Facebook.
And if you want to order a banner to be painted by me, just send me a pm!
Cheers/Kaos

Those banners are amazing.
Forbidden Stars is a lot of fun. I've felt the urge to paint my friend's set for him, just to get a good look for the "Helbrute Bowling Team" I've been having good results with. :)
Yeah, but I have to warn you! They are not model material. They are just made to be play pieces and the material is not the best, and details are not so good. And very hard to clean so I didn't clean them so much. I gave up. Would take me forever to do it haha..

I like the viper banner a lot... I hope you get round to that soon
Work in progress!
Skulls! Skulls and skulls!
What do you think of it so far?
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...bf185fcab2.jpg

Those are very nice skulls. Khorne'd be proud of you, if he didn't kill you for being a pansy artist instead of a warrior. :)
Best banner yet!
Needs Moar skulls!
Otherwise superb banner as always.:)
Thank you and sadly I'm out of skulls!
Well, here it is! Star Phantoms Chapter Banner, acrylics on paper, cut and shaped. 2,75x4". It is going to be held by a converted marine in a centurion armor!
Was lots of fun painting this comission. I hot a couple more I need to do but then I feel I must dedicate some time to my wood elves too!

Well I forgot that I had work yesterday, and they called me and wondered where I was. I threw something in my backpack just so I could paint something atleast. And this is the result!

Hello! Busy busy!
Here is a chaos banner I painted.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...d1a72a6680.jpg
And here is a bunch of chaos I painted for Forbidden Stars! Bad photo, taking better later. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...fd4c8b2962.jpg
And here you can see how it looks like when a customer have received his banner and put it on a nice looking banner bearer!
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...f8c88a78d5.jpg
And may I tempt you with a banner for a unit of Dogs of War pikeneers? One of four banners. Will tear it and weather it, and shape it when all four are done!
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...c4887c78da.jpg
Also, I have ordered new colors and material from Scale 75, army painter and others for my new studio. I will try and build it more effective as my business is booming and I realize I can live on this. So I need a professional little dungeon! Photos and progress of that will follow.
Anyway. I am receiving lots of job from all over the world. Some are really really big (Titan legions, anyone? Yes, 40k Titan legion) and some are smaller but very fun!
Stay tuned, cheers/Jonas

Well, I'll keep putting up pics here for those lonely stragglers that wanders in here by random choice!
My latest work, a nurgle Lord that some of you might remember that I painted another way some time back. This time I went to town on his skin and also I tried some other colors, again. Fun experiment! I have more pictures of him that I can add later. Attachment 219984
And here is a sketch for a wasps Titan legion I'm working on for a client: Attachment 219985
And here is another banner for the Dogs of War comission I'm working on. 2/4 done, except weathering and tearing and shaping. Attachment 219986
Also, I have been commissioned to paint (amongst many other banners) a banner designed around the Evil Dead poster and things from the movie! Will be cool as.. Hell!
Well, hope you like my work and what I'm creating!

Looking forward to the Evil Dead stuff.
Its a trick... get an axe...

Cheers guys! Well, I am looking forward to the Evil Dead banner too! But it's a long way onto the future, got some other work I have to finish before I can start that.
Here are some of my last days events!
I got myself some more hobby material last couple of weeks. Paints from scale 75, basing stuff, brushes and other things from Army Painters, bought a bunch of Americana acrylics. Studio is taking form! Will have to buy something that fixes storage. Ikea it is!
Also I got some super magnets (500 of them) from China.
And from a friend I got an emperor model that is very rare! I will use it for raising funds to charity, children's with cancer. More on that later!
And also this weekend I will finish painting the board game Forbidden Stars. Took alot of time..
Oh, and another banner! Very detailed. Not finished yet, needs to get dirty and torn, and shaped.

So, How does your work space look like? I have seen some really great ones. Some more would inspire me!
Cheers/Kaos
Skickat från min D5803 via Tapatalk
Don't think i've seen that emperor model before. Is it some unreleased project from FW or the interpretation of some unaffiliated sculptor? Looks promising anyway.
Oh, and that banner looks soo much like it could've been the cover of an old NES game cartridge :p
