Why forums and other sites are so important

Hello followers... Today, I wanted to share with you my point of view on the forums and sites speaking minis.

I do not know if I can quantify the number of hours I spend to visit the different forums and solo artists sites. 

The fact is that I always find interesting things that either ignite my inspiration, or gives me additional information as a tutorial of paint for example. I'm hanging on the forum Ammo Bunker since May 2013, and I must say that I have made wonderful encounters. To name a few, I would say mainly Julian Bayliss, KrautScientist, Jeff Vader, Logan, PDH, or more recently, Drazul and Weirdingway. I forget a lot, and that those who do not read their names do not feel insulted ... you will be all in my hobby. 

Forums, are in my opinion the basis of everything (virtually speaking of course). It includes topics "basic" just dealing Warbands or killteams but there are also fantastic initiatives like Jeff's "Inspiration" or  Thistle's "Lord Nurglii versions - the remix's" . It is also an opportunity to participate in small challenges as Masterbuilder "March is make a mini from a movie" . 

Subsequently, the sites are "solos" as Ironsleet, Officio Convertorum Eternal Hunt, Four go to war ... that we always visit for read and reread. But the main point is that we can find common ground with this or that artist and, suddenly, it is based on his experience and his designs for progressing. 

I come now to what prompted me to write this article. Here is a warband of the standard type I painted it there for two years :   

Inquisitorial warband 25 May 2013

The buildings were more than basic, no real conviction. There was no treatment other than the wash, I knew nothing of Highligting and I refused to dry brush. The result was bland, tasteless, and lacked a touch of color to enhance the figurine itself as a focal point.

And there is my latest one :

Radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor "Methus Swaire" 17 March 2015

In my opinion, although I am far from being the painter of the year, it's quite much better! There something living on it... Both, painting and modeling evolved thanks to everything I've read at the expert advices that were given to me.

So, this is why I found all of those important for the hobby life. Stay tuned!

So... we have a wip now....

 After much thought and made ​​an inventory of my parts , I told myself that I've probably been a little too greedy when the concept of the model ... I've tried to keep the "Manga style" proportions on the mini.

 So this is Mister Bluesummers, imperial psyker.... A few bit of things are missing (shoulder pad, pouches/holster...)

Let me know what you think.

March is 'Make a Mini from a Movie' month The Legatho's way =][= Part 1

In accordance with Master Builder's topic I'm creating a new plog which will be dedicated only to this project.

So, my choice goes on Legato Bluesummers :

He's an antagonist of both manga and anime TRIGUN and has the ability to use psychic powers to manipulate people.
It really is my favorite fictional character of his charisma and character. It is also the reason why my nickname is Legatho (with an " h" because the original spelling was already taken the first time I used it to log on a forum)
So I decided to go another way to create a figurine . I took out my old crayons and drew the basis of this character. For the rest , I will reproduce the frame on tracing paper to change or add few things.
Here's the frame I drew an hour ago :

Let me know what you think.
