Hardy har har, actually, I do need some more scantily clad barbarians, skimpy sorceress', and Amazons.... but that's what you get foy buying second hand big lots of mini's, there might be one or too treasures, but never enough skimpy figures :D

Dyma, gnolls are a 2HD monster and should be a match for about 5th level characters (keeping in mind they run in packs of 2d6) which puts them roughly half way between an orc and an ogre. But that depends on how magically equipped the party is. I mean a 20th level character's still only going to do 1d12 with a non-magical long sword plus any strength bonus' (d12 being that gnolls are large creatures) so on average should need two hits to bring one down. Going by 2nd Ed rules that is, none of this "power gaming" 3-4th nonsense :D

I like how you did the chap in the purple coat Ross - Apparently he was supposed to be a 'fantasy Pirate' but I never really saw that in him. He's come up as a rather nice blade weilding rogue!

So how do you go about it?
Wash and highlight? Or shade and highlight? What is your secret? It is beautiful :)

Pick a base colour and lighten it with white (or bone if it's a brown), just straight highlighting with no washes or attempts to add more depth with shading. No secret, no trick, just a nice way to paint :D

It is a nice way - I've scrapped using washes and such forth for something simmilar to this.

Looks great as per usual!

I used to use a lot of washes & dry brushes, but these days I've traded that in for doing a base colour and shading for most of my work... I'll have to try using hi-lights as well...

It helps to read alot of comic books as they've been making the 2D more life like for generations. Whereas we're just adding life to the three dimensional.

I know I've said it before, and coming from me you all might think it a bit suspect, but if you're going to paint flesh or the naked/scantily clad for, then nude pictures, usual outdoor shots, are a good for reference material.

Sweet work as usual. I'll be making a start on some fantasy 25's soon. The 15's didn't do down well with my RPG crowd.

And the blondie on the right screams ELF!

See, there's a method to my maddness :D

CC, did you end up getting rid of your stuff when you had it up for sale?
I'm right with you on the blond poof, he's now in with my meager selection of elves (both of them now....).
