Miniature-painting

So I know this site has been down for ages. The reason was a sequence of server migrations and hacks, and myself adjusting to some new situations outside of the hobby. But I have been painting a few minis again and will post pictures soon. It feels good to have the site back online

I really like these oddball miniatures. This gave me the opportunity to experiment with sick skin effects and emulating hair growing on the lower belly. This was just fun to do.

This is an old Assassin Miniatures Witch which has been standing on my desk primed for ages now. I decided to do a quick paintjob here in the spirit of "get some old things off the desk". This is just something to get used to the brush again.

I completed the migration of the Visions in Color and visions in Putty events to the new site. You can check them out in the Visions section of this site. I am now technically prepared to run new VIC and VIP events and to host them on this site. I will continue to do some preperations for the next V...

I resumed to work hard on the backend of the site again. I decided to post regular updates on the progress on Twitter. Follow me at: http://twitter.com/MiniOverlord. I guess I'll be ranting about the site development at first, and add more and more miniatures related things as time goes by and the s...
