Miniatures From The Art of Ian Miller
What I’ve Done So Far
It’s been a while and I’ve been distracted with other things. But I have done a little work so I thought I’d share what I’ve done so far after some very gentle persuasion from Gerry on the uHH – https://youtu.be/M1vmrtaRR5c
The idea was to use thinned Contrast paints to try to get some of the mono-colour style from Ian Millar’s art. I don’t consider this following miniatures finished, but I have black rimmed the bases for a better presentation.
This is the most complete mini I’ve done so far and I’m mostly happy with it. The dogs could probably do with a slight orange highlight and maybe a few bits and bobs could do with some more work.
The Fishgog guy is definitely the most complete here, whereas his friend really needs more work. Who said trying to minic Ian’s style was easy?
The following are the least finished and need more work, particularly the guy in white.
The rats. They have only a brown coat. I feel the need to add more to them in some way but I’m not sure how to progress.
His base is done but I’m struggling to find any colour reference work for this guy. I might paint him similar to the wanderer and his dogs, the first picture in this entry above.So that’s all I’ve done so far. The vast majority of the models are unassembled and still in their bags. To some extent I got a little stuck and just put the whole thing to one side at the start of the year while I worked other things.
Digging these miniatures out and writing this blog entry has gave me the urge to at least get the rest of the models assembled and give them some basic colours. I really love these models and with the detailing on them even a basic paint job shows off the details marvellously.
I just need to finish my current other project first but hopefully it won’t be as long a wait until the next post here.
Ooh that’s fabulous looking work on the figures. Miller art has a Brilliant look to it, @demonsub.
Thanks you @Zorg
No problem I do love Miller’s art style even better in 3D.
