Blog The Grove: Personal and Commission Works

I do them here and there. I am not super aggressive trying to get commissions. I mostly advertise on dakkadakka.com My gallery there is a lot bigger. I've done some pretty big armies, mostly 40k. My last was a pretty big Grey Knights army. I mostly paint and sell my stuff on ebay. Sucks you have to pay fees but this way I can paint what i want and sell it.

 

Ya i dont think i'd want to paint full time honestly lol.

What risks do you mean?

 

There is a need in the sense that you will get work. However, its not like you'll be rushed off your feet. Theres only a few really decent commission companies in the U.K that I know about.

 

Ah i gotcha.
For me commission's are all about making money. Especially since its a lot of time invested. I do have very good prices, everyone who sees my work says I should charge more but I am happy where I'm at with everything.

 

Looked through the post and I love your models, they are so clean !!

 

Thanks! Be sure to follow me, I will be posting a tonnnnnnns of stuff. If you are on dakkadakka.com as well look me up there. I have a gallery full of pics besides lizardmen!

 

Small update, did some work on the mounts as well as the skinks. Such a pain but I think it will look good when its done!

 

They both look great!!

 

Thanks! They are a total pain in the butt lol. But I want them really detailed. Cant wait to move onto the next piece though thats for sure!

 

Well it was very worth it, the gold specially looks very well done, it does actually look like gold, and not yellow with sparkles. Which paint did you use?

 

Hmmm I'll have to check. Its two different gold from the Badger Minitaire Line while other gold acsents on banners and such were from GW the Retributor base coat and layer paints.

The Badger stuff as a lot of metallic in it. Its cool stuff but can be a paint to air brush at time and does not coat well with a hand brush.

 

Ok thanks anyways (I don´t have an airbrush)

 

Im back! The last week and a half I was working on a Skaven commission that I received randomly. I got started back up on the Stegadons yesterday. Almost done with the back parts then I move onto the 10 Skinks i need to paint.... ugh not looking forward to that.

 

Looks good!!

 

Thanks! Really can't wait to be done to move onto the next thing. Not looking forward to the skinks lol. I think I should have done these one at a time rather then 2. Kind of burning myself out on stegadons.

 

getting there...
