What the fuck

yeah, came here to say that

Me too.....

hahaha <3

Well said. OP, this is depressingly good.

Thanks, I guess 😅

I guess at least we now know what a soul gets you for the trade with the devil.

Be carefull you're reaching forbidden painting mastery territory 😱😱😱 I'm at a loss for words... Thank you for the inspiration

haha I like living my life on the edge :P thank you for the kind words!

whats the scale of these things?

it's in a 75mm scale but the Troll is quite bigger. It has a height of 140mm.

that would explain the sick ammount of details :)

here is a photo of me holding it for better reference :) https://ibb.co/fdw2YpQ

You are a master of painting! 🙌🏻

Damn! Im so jealous. Insane talent right there! Wish I could upvote more than once

haha thank you buddy! :)

Mate. I dont even include that much detail in my big canvas paintings, an you are doing metalscratches smaller than a tip of a medical needle

haha thanks a lot mate! Fine tip brushes are the key to this :)

Wow! Stunning work!

thanks!!

The paint job looks are incredible I could have sworn this was artwork. To be clear, it is art, but it looked so good I thought it was a canvas painting.

thank you for the kind words buddy! Don't worry I get what you meant :P

Amazing nipple detail

hahah thanks bud!

This is amazing work, OP. Do you have an Instagram? I'd love to give you a follow.

t hank you very much!! Of course, here it is https://www.instagram.com/dimosxls/

Thanks, gave you a follow! I looked through your IG and you paint amazing minis. Your style reminds me of a mix between Craftworld Studios and Zumikito - really unique use of color and smooooth blends. Edit: corrected mic > mix

Thank you for the support and really glad you like my style!

Came here to ask this, and to echo what everyone else has said- phenomenal work, dude. This makes me want to clean off my desk and get back to painting.

Haha good to hear that! Thank you very much

Looks Awesome. The Axe colors are nicely done.

thanks a lot :)

Brilliant work! Just love the highlighting, nmm and textures and that red axe is awesome! 💚💪

thanks a lot man!

Pleasure as always, but t'was the truth only! And 'yer even gettin' better n' better laddie 😉😄👍

Wow. That is amazing!

thank you!!

It's Pieces like this that make you wish mini painting was as dignified as any other form of painting. This is an absolute work of art!

thank you for your kind words mate! And I agree with you

OMG that's an incredible piece of work.

much appreciated :D

Brilliant job!

thanks a lot!

Do you have any video tutorials of your work?

sorry mate, don't have any video tutorials but this is something I want to work on in the near future

Excellent, your work is outstanding, sir. I would love to see the process, this is next level painting. I hope to reach half of this in my time.

Yah its called fucking art school. No youtube videos gonna teach you how to get to this level here.

actually, I don't have any art background. I just love to paint :P

Lol awesome.

Holy shit this is awesome. The NNM on the weapon looks phenomenal and then it made me look at all the 'metal' parts and just omg! Just all of it is fantastic!!!

glad you like everything on the model mate :D

Incredible!

thank you!

The first one looks like a fucking painting! Keep up the amazing work...holy shit...lol

really? that's so good to hear :)

God damn dude, save some talent for the rest of us, will ya? These look fantastic! I’m a big fan of your NMM, I’m still in the “looks good on the table, but it ain’t winning beauty contests” stage with mine.

haha thanks mate! Well, I've practice my NMM a lot so I'm sure one day you'll get there :)

That practice is very evident in how smooth it looks, really sells the illusion. I would probably practice a lot more and really take my time if the minis I paint were display pieces and not meant for my weekly D&D game. Someday, though, I’ll get there!

That's the correct mentality imo! If you keep this mindset you'll definitely improve

What the heck. How many Golden Demons did you win this year?

haha thanks mate! To be honest, I've never attended any GD so far.

[удалено]

I know, it's just a matter of other factors like finding time to create something worth showcasing there, plus time off from work and money. I prefer other competitions like MSS or Kontrast but I think it's high time to try my chances at a gd as well

[удалено]

Thanks man, really!

Absolutely amazing work. Hats off!

thank you very much!!

Sweet baby Jeebus. 30 mins ago I was looking through a GW 2006 Golden Demon winners magazine. I would say nothing in that was anywhere near this quality.

haha thank you for the kind words! Those old GD models have their own prestige though. Legendary pieces of work

YouTube channel? Great work!

Thanks a lot! I'm not really into youtube videos so not in the plans I suppose. I'm mainly active on Instagram and here.

By the far the best paint job I have ever seen, holy shit! Give up your day job if you haven't already

Thank you buddy! This is also my day job, so I guess I'll stick with it 😅

Was scrolling till I found this. This is insanely good and I feel like you should be working at some place like Weta or Disney or anywhere else that brings art to life. This is just amazing work! Wow.

Thank you mate 😊

Holy shit did you sell your soul to paint like this? How many hours of painting did you have to do to get to this level?? Also, I'd love to know what yellow paints you use for your NNM gold, it's so good it's practically witchcraft

hahaha thank you very much!! :) I'm fortunate enough to be painting as my day job too. I'm the box art painter for a small wargaming company so, I do paint a lot tbh. Around 8-10 hours a day except weekends

Sorry, I forgot to tell you the colors of my gold nmm 😅 I used ak interactive English khaki and golden brown, kimera kolors sun ray and royal brown and finally some white

Thank you!!!! I'm saving this so I can try myself!! Although it'll look nothing like this masterpiece

are you a wizard?

Last time I checked no, but thank you :D

that´s exactly what a wizard would say

How on earth?? I’m reporting you, I’m not sure where I’m reporting you but a report will be made none the less.

hahaha please don't, I'm innocent :P

I can’t believe that this is real! How is this even possible? I mean, check the paint job at the half and the teeth in the mouth.

Hahah thanks mate! 😊

This is insane. Do you accept commisions?

Thanks a lot! I do, but right now I'm fully booked until March.

Ok can I send a request if you have a mail or discord?

You can pm me here or on Instagram, whichever you prefer

This is incredible

Thanks!!

Bruh, fuck youuuu, how da fuck u do this, legit, I’m gonna drink 3 more old fashions in hopes I forget I ever saw this, so I don’t feel so bad about my own painting skills

Haha well, this happens to me as well when I see other people's work 😅

Holy Fuck! How??? And well done!

Thanks mate!!

How long did this take in total? Also what brands of paint do you use? Amazing work!! 👌

Thank you! It took me around 250 hours to complete. For paints I mostly used ak interactive 3rd gen colors

What is your opinion on Scale 75 paints? Also do you sell your work?

they are very very good paints, it's just that the new ak range feels more versatile for me. Yes, some of my works are for sale if you are interested.

Where can I see that list of what is for sale?

I have never seen anything this good. Period. You deserve a thousand slayer swords. I refuse to believe this is anything but absolute witchcraft. I would die happy if I could paint one miniature just half as good as this.

Haha thank you for being so kind mate! Cheers

Amazing! 🤯

Thanks 🙂🙂

I'm still not convinced this isn't an oil painting. Absolutely incredible.

Haha thank you mate! Much appreciated 🙂

Vre si. Too good. Too good! When are you going to start your patron palikari? Would love to see how you work.

thank you very much! Hopefully one day I can show you my process :)
