TwistedBrushes open for commissions

I've been thinking about that for a while now, but finally decided to act on it.
So if any of you, or someone you know, likes my style of painting, and would be interested in having a piece painted by me, just send me an email (mslusarska@gmail.com), and we can discuss things in details.

During next few days I'll prepare some more information in a dedicated part of the blog. At this point I'm mostly interested in bigger scale, 54mm and larger, busts and vehicles. It doesn't really matter if it's historical or sf/fantasy, I'm focused on producing the highest quality projects to your complete satisfaction.

Hendon Model Show 19/05/2013 very brief report

Below you can find few photos I managed to take during the 'Hendon Model Show 2013'. The show took place in Royal Air Force Museum in London on 19th of May.
Sadly there are no photos from the museum itself, or clubs displays, placed between the exhibits, because the lighting conditions were way too poor for the camera. But the museum is pretty impressive and for free, so if you have no idea what to do with a rainy Sunday, and you're around, it's a place worth seeing.

The show itself was rathe small and local, mostly focused on airplanes and military vehicles. What closest to my heart, figures, was gathered in one class: 'Figures: any figure any scale'. As the result we had more than 30 entries, from small 28mm fantasy miniatures, through busts and bigger scale minis to big dinosaurs. But well like I said, figures weren't the main focus there.
But with the lovely kits I bought/won during that day, next year I guess I'll be entering something in other categories as well;]

Some of the results:
Conrad Mynett - first place in Figures with Okie
John Keys - runner up in Space & Sci-Fi  with Newark
Marta Slusarska - runner up in Figures with Viking Chief

El Markes - almost there

Yet another bust is almost finished.
Few more little things that need to be fixed, and I can put him on the shelf marked as 'finished'.
Not my best work, that's for sure, but I'm still happy that I managed to paint it.

El Markes - this time solo

Another quick update of my latest bust, El Markes by Tale of War. This time without Bombel trying to devour poor little fella.



Still lots to do, and work is more haotic than usually (some random pieces are still in really early/wtf is happening here??, stage). But I'm rather happy with the face, leather elements and freehand on the hat, I even like the yellow bandana. Hair and the cloak are still pain in the neck, I might repaint it at some point. But what colour should I choose for the cloak? What do you think? Brown, more or less like a hat, red or maybe green?

Inspector Bombel strikes again, or new mini on the table.

Here are the photos of the new bust I'm working on at the moment. As you can see, Inspector Bombel is working on it as well (on his own twisted way of course;p)

This is El Markes, lovely pirate bust from Tale of War. Again no scale given, but the bust has 25mm to the eye level and 55mm to the top of the hat.
Mini is in pretty early stage at the moment. And I'm struggling with the blue and hat, but I must say, I do enjoy painting this little fella. If I'm lucky and my painting mojo won't abbandon me suddenly, I should be able to finish this bad boy before Sunday.

Mujer Fauno finished

This beautiful bust is my first, hopefully not the last, miniature from Origen Art. I'm not really sure what's the scale here, but it's 34mm tall to the eye level and 53mm to the end of the horns.
I managed to paint it in 5 days, which is my personal record of speed painting.



cheers
