New Releases-the Prelude Now I am back with more new releases in miniature.

Unmissable Art – the PRELUDE If you’ve been keeping up with the posts on Figurementors, you’ll have seen THIS article from head honcho Jay about overcoming a lack of motivation, inspiration and general loss of your muse. It happens to us all, and one way I like to recharge and refill my fuel tank of inspiration is by looking through as much …
WHERE HAS MY MUSE GONE? So recently I had lost my muse and I have spoken about losing my mojo, to which I think I mean, inspiration. I believe we’ve all been there in some way or another and the longer you’ve been doing ‘your art’ the more certainly you’ll have found yourself in a bit of a creative lull. …
Unmissable Art – the PRELUDE Most of the time when I’m putting together these ‘Unmissable Art’ articles, I have a rough idea of what I want to feature, usually through a saved folder on facebook where I can easily save the most awesome posts and artwork that I see, and bookmarks from visiting Putty & Paint, Artstation etc. However, sometimes things …

Unmissable Art – the PRELUDE Well, this issue is a touch late, so I apologise if you’ve been eagerly anticipating this next installment of Unmissable Art! As you well know, this series highlights art in all forms, both new and old because there is always something to learn or draw inspiration from that we can use in our miniature painting. Recently I’ve …

OctoPainting – the PRELUDE “OctoPainting was a very pleasant moment of sharing, transmission, exchange, humour and love around our passion for the Hobby. Given the number of smiles and satisfied people, it seems to me that the goals we set for ourselves were achieved. Originally the painting contest that was held at OctoGônes was organised by the Fantask Team and was called …

Massive Voodoo Private Coaching and Classes – the PRELUDE How to begin a write up about Massive Voodoo Private Coaching and Classes? Well GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, FIGUREMENTORS!

JULY’S Works In Progress (WIP): The Prelude Works In Progress (WIP) seems a rather pointless term at the moment as nothing is getting finished in this heat! Wow, it’s been a while since we’ve posted one of these updates. But that doesn’t mean we haven’t been up to a lot! Since last time, we’ve judged and posted the results of …

Painting Skeletons The purpose here is to get you painting skeletons to an intermediate level. It takes me approximately 4 hours per mini to achieve this result. Heres a pic of the final result : 1 – Preparation and little conversion As a start I glue the skeletons, except the arms holding the shields to make painting easier. For the bases …
Painting a Marble Effect – A Madness I Tell You! Hi, my name is Leonardo Archini and when Jay asked if I would like to contribute a tutorial regarding my marble process I naturally jumped at the chance! When I was painting a little diorama, set inside an old laboratory, I had to choose what kind of floor it could …
PAINTING TATTOOS Tattoos can help to create additional interest upon your painted skin-tone, especially when you have a naked body or at least a large area of exposed skin, which could otherwise look a little boring. However, painting tattoos on your figures can be tricky, even more so in smaller scale, as it can look unrealistic quite easily. So here …
Banshee Workshop – the PRELUDE Did you hear the one about the politician, the gangster and the prostitute? No? Well I guess you haven’t been privileged to attend an Alfonso “Banshee” Gilraldes Colour Theory Masterclass, a Banshee Workshop.. The three characters above are how he described the relationships between colours. The blue of authority, conformation, the yellow the gangster or …
ArtQuest 2017 – the PRELUDE It feels like an absolute age ago that we rather foolishly decided to create our very own competition, ArtQuest 2017 and little did we know or conceive of the amount of work involved or indeed the number of “life issues” that will slow everything down. Since announcing the competition there has been spinal operations, births, …
Unnatural Skintone – the PRELUDE The Old Count is a release from Fer Miniatures sculpted by Romain Van Den Bogaert. I fell in love with the sculpt the moment I saw it, and as soon as I had the chance I grabbed a copy. This is an account of how I painted it, hoping to give the bust some justice! …
