Crazy eyes

Finally got this little bugger painted... Went for a quick and dirty blanchesque paintscheme on this one. 

Gotta admit I'm quite pleased with his wild staring right eye...

Purge the unclean

Finished up the mutie redemtionist: "Lugubrios".

I was inspired by Sam Jacksons character Stephen in Django Unchained. He's a mutie with a fanatical faith in the imperial creed who has turned on his own kind and ruthlessly opresses his fellow deviants.
Asshole.

Le freak, c'est chic

This weekend I stayed at home after a rather intense party week in the swedish summer sun (contrary to what some of you may believe considering the rate at which I crank out these minis, I actually do have an active social life...). 

Started painting the inquisitrix made a while ago, but that didn't turn out the way I wanted it so she was put to the side. I'll get back to her later on, when I know what to do with her. 

Instead I cobbled together this guy  continuing the recent mutie/twist/freak trend.

Carte Blanche

To put things in perspective:
There's this guy I once saw a documentary about. He paints miniatures. Like miniatures of  miniatures - tiny tiny sculptures, fractions of a millimetre high.

Some would fit in the eye if a needle. Some are smaller. He paints between heartbeats - the extra blood in the fingertips during a beat makes the brush wobble. A brush made from the hair from the leg of a mosquito no less...
True story.

Now. This canvas is a whopping 9 times 12 mm. Huge by his standards - he could probably fit the entire roof of the sistine chapel there.

However, I'm not that guy - so I struggled quite a lot getting this at least vaguely right.

I don't think it's going to get any better than this. At least I'm taking a step back at the moment...
I'll try try to get some better shots tomorrow though.

Anyway - I give you the illustrious mr. John Blanche.

Decisions, decisions...

Well... Mutie no.2 is all but finished. Only thing left is a few touchups.

And, of course, to decide what masterpiece to pay homage to/massacre on the parchment.
Last chance to influence this milestone in art history ladies and gentlemen!!

Let's twist again...

Look! The mutie apparently has a baby brother!
Ain't he a cutie...

I'm thinking about following in JBs footsteps and having a go at a classic painting on the parchment. Mona Lisa feels a bit done though...
Bruegel? Bosch? Goya?
Suggestions are more than welcome!

Candle in the wind

Changed the right hand so he's holding a candle after a suggestion from Bruticus over at the Inq28 forum at The Ammobunker...
This is becoming a more complex conversion than originally intended - as is the way of these things.

The mutants are revolting

After The Red Lady I decided to do something a bit different. So, inspired by Krauts style of mutants, I cobbled together this freaky little bastard...
