Mierce Miniatures

Great stuff!

Superb stuff right there

Thanks guys!

I almost forgot that I also painted Uhtred Uhtredson:

Looking beautiful Jerzy!

Stunning work!

I love your Manticora, he looks very realistic. Also impressive work on the wood of the bows and on Uthreds Base! Before I had seen your Drunes I would have thought that NMM wouldn´t fit well with the more realistic and gritty Darklands Miniatures, but you´ve proven that it does if it is well done, and yours are very well done!

Keep us posted, I would love to see more of them!

Fantastic work! Giving me lots of inspiration here as I'm starting on painting my own Ysians.

How were the resin Ax-Drunes to assemble, out of curiousity? I had an absolute hell of a time with the metal ones. Ended up having to pin more or less every single last joint. Very glad to have my dremel, else all that drilling would have taken me a million years.

Thanks a lot!

I assembled them like 2 years ago, but as far as I remember I had to fill joints between body and arms with weapons with Milliput (they did not fit perfectly). I pinned every part (I use 2 part epoxy glue) - even those little horns on their helmets

I just made pictures of previously painted (and never shown before) Gondard of Karaez & Ekk. The little guy looked like a goblin to me, so I painted his skin green.




These are definitely all Mierce minis painted up to date. The next will be Brugg, painted in Casual Darklands Hobby Challenge - March 2016.

That is some really great work. I can't believe how strongly your style comes through.

I'm also really impressed with you photos. How do you get such diffuse and even lighting?

Brugg is finally finished. A lot of steel and flesh to paint!




Did you notice that he has strange habbit of collecting ears?

Here's Annik. I painted her some time ago, but forgot to photograph...

Akhaz is finished:

Your painting is amazing. The use of non-metallic blue as a standard for iron/steel is really interesting to me because I don't think I've ever seen it done before. It's very distinctive and with your painting skill it looks excellent.

I also really like the flesh tones on your Ysians, because I think you use the same colours as I do but your blending is better than mine. Now I have an incentive to step it up.

This is all looking amazing JerzyK!

Just curious, what other Ysians (or any other Mierce minis) do you have coming for us in the future?

Thanks! Actually I have over 100 Mierce Minis (almost every Ysian model) waiting to get assembled and painted - I am not sure what to choose next. Maybe I'm waiting for Casual Darklands Hobby Challenge - April 2016 to get some motivation

I"m not sure if you have it, but with the amazing job you've done on the Ysian patchwork capes, and stitched up brutes, I'd love to see your take on Conjunct XIII.

Too bad there is no April painting challenge, but it doesn't mean that I don't paint anything from Mierce. Here's my Glaun:






Since I will get Alix some day, Glaun is like one of Ysians

Beautiful work as always Jerzy! Glaun's skin is amazing!

Hadn't realised it was more feathers than fur down its back. Weird combo model that! Looks great.

A month without painting a Mierce mini is a wasted month, so here is something for May - Fiannan:

Great job on one of my current favourite MM pieces!

I love it, great job.

Thanks guys. Your positive comments encourage me to paint more Mierce minis So here's my Swordsman Timoth:

That cloak is amazing - the teal next to the rich red of the shield works really well!

Impressive! The eye of the beheaded Giant is awesome, well done! You´ve captured the shocked expression that such a creature must have been showing when such a tiny mortal with a big knife relieved it of its head.

Timmoth is another Masterwork, the Vibrant Colors, the Fur on the Mantle, the NMM - incredible!

Glaun looks great too (I have to admit that I would prefer another color over the blue that you´ve chosen, but you are right, it ties him to your Ysians) - the Horns and the Fur/Feathers look very lifelike.

Great Paintjobs, keep going!

fantastic stuff there JerzyK

Thanks!

Mini for June - Naraa, tain of Baalor. The most beautiful face of all Formoraic

Beautiful!

I haven't posted for a while, so here is something big. Oldie but goodie Creoda:

Fantastic work JerzyK! I like your basing too, top notch!

Great Paintjobs as Always JerzyK!

Your Non Metallic Metal is impressive, you´ve managed to make Naraa look very heoric - like she is one of the good ones (until you notice her bloodstained Axes, well - maybe not that friendly at all ;D) - Awesome!

And the Effect on Creolas Wristbands is even more impressive, a stunning paintjob (not only the Metals, the whole Miniatures are masterworks) and as Beire already said - your bases are great!

Thanks for sharing those pictures!

Thanks a lot guys! I finished Araigh. Do you think that attaching 'leaves' made of pieces of sponge was a good idea? I wanted to add more green elements, not just brown trunk everywhere.

Brilliant job on Araigh! The foliage works really well!

Superb! And I agree, the foliage adds colour and flavour to the model.

Yup the foliage makes him pop really well

Thanks guys.
Here is my Ckaarakk. I assembled him about 3 years ago, but just didn't have mood to paint him. Maybe I was a little discouraged by a lot of armor to be painted. He is from ancient pre-KS1 times when Mierce bases were made of resin.
Anyway - I finished him and I am glad I did that






Here is my small Formoraic host. In time it should get bigger (at least I hope so).

I finished painting Aggrakk. Painting him scale by scale was quite fun

Scale by scale? You must be insane .

Great job as usual JerzyK!

Insane in the good way ;D - excellent work!

His eyes have a certain mesmering quality, especially on the second and the last picture, cold, calculating, hungry - just the way a hammerwielding giant Crocodileman should look, the hammer itself is very impressive too - and I would dare to say, if that is the way a miniature looks when you paint it scale by scale, the effort is well worth it (looks ashamed at his own half finished Krokodar and the inks and washes).

And I totally agree with Alex, Beire and Orlando - the foilage gives him even more character, a great idea well implemented - awesome!

Thank you very much for sharing those pictures!

JerzyK that is terrific work! I like the tones you used on everything, but the hounds, manticore and Beowa are really top notch.

Wow, Aagrak is totally not what i'd picture him colour wise but it really works well

great job

Thanks a lot!

I didn't post here anything for a while, but I hope that I come back in good style Blood-Maw, Vore - one of my favourite Mierce minis:

Fantastic paintjob JerzyK! The grey skin suits the Bloodmaw very well, that's exactely how I would paint him (although at a slightly lower standard than yours ).

Thanks

Another Mierce monster painted - Khallas, Hydrakh of Ydron:







I received this miniature as a gift from John Longshore, whom I would like to thank for opportunity to paint this figure

Another reptile finished - Pétroyos, Lískarchon:








This is second miniature painted thanks to the courtesy of J. L. Longshore.

Hi JerzyK, Wow... what beautiful painting! Thank you so much for choosing our miniatures to spend your time on!! Joanna Lane

I painted one large and quite furious bear

What a cuddly bear!

After seeing this chap painted the model has grown on me, good work!

Muldo, Hammer-Brute is painted:






If you want to know how I painted his skin - here is small tutorial: http://chestofcolors.com/way-of-painting-skin

These are amazing!

Keep it up, it's good inspiration to improve my own painting.
