These are the absolute worst painting jobs I have ever seen ...

Now, when can you do mine just as bad? :P :D :lol:

Nice. Very nice.

Wow, very nice, I like the Merriods bases. Also, I really like the theme "Hot/Ice" you did with golems, although, don't you get confuse that now the master golem is the blue instead of the red one hahaha good job :D

Good job! They are very nice!

Tnks u very much! I don't know...in many rpg ice is considered stronger than fire/lava, so, I came up with this idea. However I always try to make base monsters as closet to original as I can and masters as I want...so no problem confusing them, also reversing colors! Haha

Good job! They are very nice!

Great job!! Especially envious of the Merriods' "coming out of the water" base, I was doing something similar, in the end messed it up with too much "wave" detail.

Perhaps in future I would try to apply a little more extreme highlights, would make the models look even better, but hey, these are awesome, especially if you just started!

Keep em coming :)

I was a little afraid of adding water at first, to be onest, but in the end it came out decent. Never paint something before...but I'm studying to be a cartoonist and I have to admit that this help me a little.

Tnks u very much for the compliments anyway! :D

I really dig what you've done. It makes me want to repaint everything that I've done.

Everytime someone comes with his painted minis and then I look at mine, I feel depressed :lol:

I know how you feel....

I am bad at everything related to arts and painting and stuff... :unsure:

But I kind of like looking at other's minis when they painted them :lol:

Is it just me, or does the blue Golem look stronger than the red one?

The blue color looks better on the Golems than the red (like on the card)... I also kinda like the blue crystal design better than the "standard rusty / red golem"
