Well, I’m not posting any pics now, because mine DEFINATELY don’t look like that! I painted some pretty good ones in college, seriously detailed work, but these days I just paint to make the figures more fun to play with and just hold them to the “three feet” standard. Those are really, really good.

Aw, come on, post some pics. I like to see other peoples’ styles. Besides, I bet yours look better than you think. Remember, you’re the only one who knows what it was _supposed_ to look like.

This applies to all of you painters out there. Don’t make me use the Hypno-Power on you.

There are a few minis, though, that I wish I had kept instead of selling…
