I post my nice, gentle all natural GUO and suddenly I'm the forum pervert... :glare:

Welcome to the club!

But anyhow the mods have all been decent about it and I get the way they are reasoning. PG-13 it is. But I think your pictures are alright. Mine where nastier. :blush:

If I can speak briefly on behalf of the mod team (which btw, are all excellent chaps and more than willing to help out- ego fluffing), I'm fairly confident that none of them see your work as anything but a product of creative ingenuity. More than anything, they just want to keep things on an even keel, in case we get a sensitive member who takes offense to such nude creations. I get the feeling that the mods don't have any personal issues with your work or that lovely nude female I posted today, but they've got their job to do, which entails keeping everyone happy on this forum.

Also, it's sometimes good to have controversial models posted in this forum. It helps in redefining the difference between pornography and artful nudes. Of course, there's always a gray area (art- go figure!).

I've been treated really fair by the mods and they've been straight from the beginning. I realise I was streching the lines (and apparently breaking them) and have no problem with their decision.

But for the future (and possible slaneesh projects) I've noted that boobs are OK but not willies. :shifty:

hey, I have no problem with it. Art is art, profane or not, its up to the beholder to appreciate or avert their attention. But yes, ikterus' recent post is why I thought I'd at least give you a shout out, so at least its been discussed, my friend.

I suspect the fact that that particular model has a "50's Scifi Novel Cover art" style to it, would also have lessened the "offensive nature" of it.
You have been posting some seriously good works....none of which encourage me to pick up a brush.
I especially like the dark forbidding Dual Pistol hunter one, and the second last one, which is incredibly well painted (except the NMM which just looks fake).

What ranges are these? I like that trenchcoat girl with the two pistols. What scale is it? Anyone know?

[theyak]

Some of the obscure ranges can be found at coolminiornot under the store section.
Unfortunately there are a lot of other miniature ranges throughout europe that just isn't represented in the US, and their websites are in non english form.(some very nice french mini companies that I will probably never get to paint)

I've been gone for like 9 days and after looking back on this, I saw that wolf lord is an amazing model. I have a special like for space wolves and the ones that you've posted are great as are all the other models.

Keep um comin'

Pics of the day: Busts-














::: DISCLAIMER:::
None of these models were painted or converted by me.

[mpdscott]

That's obscene!!! :mad:

How dare you so brazenly display a naked beastman chest!!

That is some seriously impressive painting, especially considering the proportional increase in difficulty found with doing such large areas.

[Rabbit]

I think for most painters of this caliber, it might actually be easier to paint these larger models. For one thing, they're not having to 'miniaturize' all of the detail, and hence, can give more attention to flushing out highlights and what naught. My two pennies anyway.
