Painters and Hobby Sites

CoolMiniOrNot - Becoming the place to go for miniature viewing pleasure! IMO the most important resource/site in the mini-painting hobby today. This is my first stop on the web most of the time. I'm also a paying supporter (and if you use it a lot, you should be too) AND I have a couple of models in the 2003 Annual.

Chest of Colors - The place to find the work of CMON's "Mahon". Michal is a great artist who does some really nice conversion and paint work, and also does commission work.

Jakob Rune Nielsen - Although http://www.jrn-works.dk/ is not the catchiest title in the world, this site is not to be missed - galleries, tutorials and more from the European double Slayer Sword winner.

Planet Acheon - Christoph Eichorn's site - lot's of outstanding work and I've learned a lot of my NMM techniques directly from reading his tutorials and asking him questions!

The Art of Josh Stover at Elfwood - Who says fantasy and sci-fi art has to be in 3 dimensions? Josh does fantastic illustrative work, and has done the logo for Arjay's Land of the Diminutive, and in future - my site as well! Check out his work - Josh does commission jobs for character portraits (D&D) and just about anything else you can think of, as far as I can tell!

Minigrrl - the fantastic work of former GW 'Eavy Metal painter and converter Tammy Haye!  Great site!

Griffin Painting - very nice site by a painter who's name I cannot determine from the pages therein...and another web banner from Josh Stover. Check it out.

Loveable Lobster! - James, who frequents the forums here and at CMON, decided to start up his own site. Hope to see more miniature artwork there in future, and looks like a cartoon is on the way as well.

Steve Dean - A bevy of wonderful figure images awaits you here, from the UK studio of Steve Dean. Also some fairly frequent updates and site design changes. Great site.

Dragonforge - Jeff Wilhelm's oustanding work, including an excellent basing tutorial.  Jeff has been promoted to the "frequent updates" section but will be on probation for a while ;)

The Mark of Beltane - This site is run by a group of very talented painters from Italy! Between them they have won numerous Golden Demons, including a Slayer Sword. Beautiful site design, check it out!

Dragon Miniatures- Dragon Miniatures, Mayne Thiele's site.  This guy oozes talent in his painting, and his website is a class production all the way. Well worth a look. This is one of my favorite websites, and to be honest I often try to copy his NMM gold technique - and mostly fail LOL :)

Ravenspire - Edmonton painter Dan Byer's site. You might remember that Dan had a previous site called Nocturne which went dormant a long time ago. The new site has a fresh design and some great work can be seen there - let's hope he keeps this one more up to date! ;)

Crooked Eye Studios - Zach's site, with some really sharp confrontation work including an award winning Skiorze Warrior of Dirz, and a weekly favorite winner as well!

Electric Ocean - Wow! Very cool site, frequently updated with news from the mini-world.

Miniature Space - Home of Jason Richards, Multi Golden Demon Winner and painting legend.

Dr. Faust's Painting Clinic - another "what took me so long to post this" link. Almost needs no introduction - tons of material here.

The Gaijin's Dojo - Home of the Raigin' Gaijin,  CJ Cummings.  See his work and check out his articles on competing in the Demons!

Blackmoor - Angela Imrie (Saxonangel)'s Site !  Great NMM tips, galleries and more.

The Miniature Painting Guild - Like Angela, Glyn Evans is a fellow Alberta painter (Canadian, eh!). His site is chock-full of painting goodness and sees frequent updates. His painting has also been improving in leaps and bounds, and he is a "weekly favorite" placer as well. Check it out!

Artisan's Edge - The always excellent work of Patrick Gordon, fellow Canadian and all around nice guy.  Definitely worth stopping by here. Lot's of fantastic terrain pieces too!

Corvus Miniatures - Gerrie "Corvus" Schenck's site - well worth a look (nice design!).

Sintricat - Sandy Stokey's website and gallery. Sandy is the reason my bases have evolved in the direction they have up till now.  Her use of water effects directly influenced my subsequent bases because it just looks so damned cool.  Check out her work and her weekly auctions as well.

Jenova Project - Great work here by Inge Mygind Jensen.  With a name like "Jenova Project" you just have to check it out. Also has a link to my site so I'm ashamed that I haven't posted this until now!

Headblast Designz - I believe this is a sort of European Consortium of awesome painters! Great work from these guys, and a great website. Goatman, who does some unreal work, is a member there, as is Jenova (Inge).

Arjay's Land of the Diminutive - Some of the best NMM effects I've seen yet are coming down the pipeline as I type this. Check out that axe!

Lone Brushman - Eric Louchard has work on ebay almost weekly from what I can tell, and it is all of high quality. Well worth a look!

Portent.net - Definitive GW Fan Website. Excellent Forums.

Slave to Paint - I stumbled onto this site while snooping around CMON. Terrific work here, much of it Golden Demon winning quality.

Stuff of Legends - Great site with some excellent events coverage!

Mini-Vault - Thomas Schadle's site. Great stuff here, including a step-by-step conversion/paintjob of Captain Stern, and a Beeeyoootiful Slaanesh Rhino conversion. Must see.

Small Obsessions - Mike McCuen's site. Tons of pics etc but one thing that leapt out at me was his Visions 8 entry that I don't think I had seen before (a spider-zeiren conversion). Awesome!

Miniature-Painting.net  - I have no idea why I didn't have a link up for this sooner. This is the home of the Visions in Color (and other Visions) showcase.  Site is run by Dominic Heutelbeck, and you can see some of his work there as well.

The Miniature Gallery - Home of Dirk Stiller!  Way overdue for this links page.

Repent - Quite possibly the best converter I've ever seen on the net or otherwise. He also has amazing step-by-step project wip shots, and tutorials.  A must visit site.

Matt Verzani's Website - Golden Demon Winner

Fellshadow - Another in the long list of overdue links. Lilianna Troy's site (LA Slayer Hammer Winner!)

Darthfoley Miniatures - Dwight Bill's site. Nice design, great figs and a mini-of-the-week project!

Slapping Paint - Excellent site by painter Craig Stocks

NiceMinis.com - Finn Kisch's site. Very clean, nice site and a great gallery of award winning minis!

Victoria Lamb Gallery - probably one of my favorite artists these days. Amazing.

Golden Demons - Unofficial Site - Check this out! International winners from past years. A great collection of work by artists around the world.

Prophet Miniatures - Matt Gubser's site and way, way overdue for this page!

Miniature Art - Bobby Wong's Site! (he's a painting God, you have to check this out)

Paintrix - Miniatures by Jennifer Haley. Practically never updated. Jen mostly seems to post her new work on CMON (linked above).

LittleBrush - Great Site with Tips and Galleries

Gamesday LA - My entries for Gamesday LA 2004.

Metallicadept 2004 - the Tincture Adept Hosted Contest

Online Stores and Manufacturers

Sentry Box - Awesome online retailer for Canada. Large selection of Vallejo, Confrontation - you name it. Calgary based. I order from them far too often. Service and selction are fantastic. Can you tell I'm a fan?

Games Workshop - The Big One.

Reaper Miniatures - Reaper makes hordes of awesome, unique RPG and sci-fi based miniatures, and their new website is chock full of good stuff. Check out the active forums and the online painting contest.

The Warstore - A superlative online retailer. I've used them a few times, Neal's service, selection and prices are just outstanding. Great source for Warmachine which can be hard to find.

Spyglass Miniatures - the outstanding sculpts of Steve Buddle. I've had the pleasure of painting one of these so far and the quality was excellent . Highly recommended.

Warmachine - Awesome new game from Privateer Press. Very active forums, I go there quite frequently.

Rackham Store - I don't order here, but they have a great online gallery with big pictures of the miniature paintjobs, and also have new releases showcased. I visit the site frequently.
