Sites that make you grab for the brushes, mine are:
Joe Videki (http://www.geocities.com/jvideki/TMWOJV-Index.html)
Witchhunter (http://www.witchhunter.net/)
JRN (http://www.jrn-works.dk/index.html)
Joe Videki was new to me. Thanks! website seems a bit messy though... Or maybe I'm missing something?
no it's messy, links at the top show more of his stuff - he helps when I get hung up on painting eyes too - he doesn't often bother :icon_wink:
It was new to me too, but I like it. Thanks Matt!
Nifty; new stuff to look at, and drive me to drink...
Hmmm inspirational website.....Playboy.com......
purely to learn the way light reflects off of flesh :-)
Joe Videki makes me want to throw in the paintbrush :icon_tears:
Feel free to post painterly sites of your own.....
The reason I like Joe's site is because you can see his technique..his choice of colour is very impressive and that's really where I struggle a lot with painting..I don't look at his site and think I couldn't acheive the results he gets with practice..

Or more like - how to make a figure look as if he has been through some havy picture editing ;)
Don't like those magazines for the simple fact that the photoediting is often so heavyhanded that the ladies are more computerpainted than photographed these days.
lol I know what u mean but ugly women cost less to photograph :-)
I dont find Cool Mini or Not site inspirational, it just depresses me !!!! I do like the fact that you can bid on pieces though.
Can anyone tell me where theres a good NMM guide please? I really like some of the end results.
NMM - http://www.blackmoor.ca/ - she provides colours but no real tutorial to speak of, which is her right I suppose... :icon_nottalkingtoyou:
The Darkson Designs book has some good NMM tutorials. :offtopic:
thats lovely cheers mate
its not really off topic, that NMM site will inspire me to learn that technique
http://www.otherworld.me.uk/ (http://www.otherworld.me.uk/) retro coolness.
Cheers gi6ers, he has a Dwarf I want and have emailed him :icon_razz:
Jeremie Bonamant Teboul's stuff is pretty inspirational, and he has a fair range of "tutorial" and stage-by-stage stuff on his site :

His fat bloke on elephant is probably the joint best miniature I have ever seen. I have so many faves its hard to pick one but thats definately a contender. That man is a true artist !!!
Maybe not new to you guys, but just found these while trawling through the Internerd. Some seriously time-consuming NMM golds on these, and the freehand on the cloaks is eye-boggling...

Damn how did they pull off those golds?
Now that has got to take more than an hour per mini! :icon_w00t:
Excellent paintjobs but I dont like them as they are too goldy. I would love to be able to paint like that but he needs a bit of help with colour schemes IMHO I think I'd prefer to be that good at painting and working on my colour schemes than the other way round though :icon_w00t:

I know what you mean - but those colours are part of GW canon, mate. Which tells us all we need to know about their "official" designs :icon_wink:
