Arsies' Studio Closed for maintenance

HI all. During this Christmas, I'll do some changes in the Studio.

It's time to move forward and try something different after 9 years working alone. Due to this reason, we'll keep closed for a while.

Also, the on-line Store will remain closed too.

Allow me to use this post too to wish you a Merry Christmas and an exciting new year : )

Lelith Hesperax

A couple of weeks ago I finished the commision on this miniature.

I must say I'm not completely happy with her. As you know I've a BAN on Finecast (I do not accept commisions on this material) but for this time, I choose to give it a try again and let's see...

Well, I still have a BAN to Finecast.

It was hard, Usually, these minis should be quite easy to paint, but that was not the case. Fortunately, the colour scheme was not hard so I could achieve a good mini, at last, but I prefer to not try again.

Hope at least you like it (and please do not look at the bent weapon, it was impossible to correct)

Infinity: Pan-O remotes and Haqquislam doctor

I recently finished some miniatures to increase my customer's armies. 4 types of pan-o remotes and a single miniature, the Doctor to add to the Haqqislam Armie.

Wulfen Pack Leader (Space Wolf)

Hi Guys, this is my last finished commision job, a Pack Leader of the Wulfen Space Wolf Squad.

I intentionally did not build some pieces that look oversized and, in my own opinion, make the mini less powerful. Instead, I looked for a more Savage interpretation using as fewer pieces as possible and painting the chest armour as skin.

Hope you like it!

Kingdom Death

I just finished painting those incredibly beautiful (and horribly hard) miniatures from Kingdom Death. Very small, thin and detailed 30mm sculptures.

Do you want to see a bit more?

A bit more Infinity

Hi guys. Another small release of Haqqislam boys & an Aristeia!'s mini painted to fit in a pan-O army

 Do you want to see them bigger?

6 Días para FReak Wars!

El próximo fín de semana (15-16 de Septiembre), en Madrid (España), más concretamente en Carabanchel (Polideportivo Francisco Fernández Ochoa; Calle Catorce Olivas, s/n, 28054 Madrid), se celebrana las Freak Wars, un evento en el que nunca he estado pero que de momento me está causando una gran impresión, intentaré explicaros un poco lo que es, sin meter demasiado la pata:

V Infinity Interplanetario & III Warcrow

Hi people!

I'm back from Holidays and from Vigo, were the V Interplanetario was placed past weekend.

¿You still don't know what Interplanteario is? Really? But you know Golden Demon, aren't you? then you need to read this article.

CLOSED FOR HOLYDAYS

Arsies Studio will remain closed until next 23rd August.

All shipments will be dispatched after this date. Because of that, I switched all the store's items to "preorder".

See you soon!

Ven al Interplanteario Infinity!

Solo quedan 15 días!! ¿Habéis preparado ya la maleta para ir a Vigo?

¿Que no sabés a qué? ¿Cómo? a ver me explico, para los despistados :D

El Interplanetartio es un evento OFICIAL internacional relacionado con el Universo Infinity y organizado por Corvus Belli, empresa madre del juego.

Es un evento anual que engloba un montón de actividadesy que acerca a los creadores y creativos del juego y a sus aficionados en un ambiente de fiesta absoluta.

Incluye torneo de Infinity con algunos de los mejores jugadores de TODO el planeta, mesas redondas en las que se cuentan en primicia los planes futuros relacionados con el juego, un concurso de pintura (WarCrow) con minis exclusivamente relacionadas con Infinity, charlas y masterclass de los escultores y pintores oficiales de Infinity, (y algunas cosas de los invitados, como Sergio Calvo que dará una mastercalss, o yo mismo, que estaré por allí, sin masterclass, pero abierto a charlar un ratito), y todo ello aderezado por una organización que se deja la piel y un saco de premios que parece Navidad esto.

¿Te ha picado el gusanillo? pues amplia la noticia ;-D

DeathWatch Squad.

Do you remember my latest Nurgle Squad?

Well, Customer was so happy to hire me again to paint this Space Marines DeathWatch Squad (well, almost a whole army, they are 855 points).

If the Nurgle guys were hard, those were almost harder. I went out of my comfort zone to paint a hard black reflective armor. And this time they were 13 miniatures instead 10!!

Of course, each one is painted at my best Golden Demon quality. They took me 10 weeks to complete them.

The customer also requested to paint chapter colors much richer than usual

Let's see them in closer pictures:

3 new Haqquislam minis

Hi all.

Slowly I keep painting the Haqquislam Infinity miniatures. This time I want to show you 3 special models that keep me busy a bit more than usual.

They are Zuleyka, Kasim and Tarik Mansuri. Do you want to see more views?

Belphegor 30mm

Hi guys.

First of all, please forgive me to be silent so long. I had a broken pipe in my kitchen so I was a couple of weeks without water on the main floor and with workers opening my walls and floor.

As soon as I could paint again I started to paint this Belphegor in 30mm.

Well, not an "oldhammer mini" for sure, but for those of us that were painting minis so long, this classical mini is an Oldie.

That does not mean at all it's a bad piece, for sure, it feels old, but the sculpture is very good and even if he doesn't reach the quality the big 54mm Belphegor has, it's still a great piece for every showcase.

I really had a good time painting this guy at the intermediate quality. He will have an Honor place in the customer's army for sure.

The freehand design was provided by the customer.

Hope you like it :-)

San Fernándo Weekend Workshop review.

This past weekend I went to San Fernándo, a close city to my location in the south of Spain to give a Workshop to some students, organized by Órbita Model's manager: Rafa, and with The collaboration of Nocturna Models.

As you know I'm not a big fan of workshops, so It's not very usual to have the chance to come to one of them. All the people were very excited, hope I didn't ruin their hobby forever _:D

So what we did there?

WARCOW: Infinty's painting contest during Interplanetario (17,18-19 august)

This summer, during the Infinity's official tournament close to the Corvus Belli's Headquarters, aside, the painters will face up the official Infitny's painting contest: The Warcrow III edition.

It's going to be at Vigo, Spain, during 17, 18 & 19 August and it's very interesting contest where you can only enter official Infinity miniatures or Luxumbra collectors ones. Very close to the old Golden Demons, but still growing to become one of the biggest and funniest contests in Spain.

They also are fully filled with prizes, not only the Warcrow, that is very cool (believe me, I won some of them), but also, miniatures, core boxes, airbrushes, lamps... so many useful materials.

Past year I could not attend it, but this year was great in dates for me as that week I used to visit my family very close in Asturias. My first intention was to enter some minis to contest, but finally, I become part of the Jury with  Sergio Calvo, Sergio Luque, and Angel Giraldez.

Also, As I have so many Infinity minis to paint, I'll try to showcase some of them there.

Didn't you plan to come?

Painting DeathWatch Army: Week 9; #Warmaster's Crusade

As you know I'm participating aside them until checkpoint 3 in June where Warmasters must have completed 500 points army. My objective is to paint 710 points at that point.

Also, I'll keep you updated on the work I do every week I work in this Army. Past Monday 21st I posted the work done in week 8. We reach that point then:

As you see they are almost done. Should be finished this week 9, and they are almost done, but Huston, we had a problem...

This week was a bit chaotic, I was painting small different details on each miniature, so I was switching very fast from one thing to another so I didn't take any SBS pics.

Weekend Painting Workshop in San Fernándo (Spain)

English readers, as this post is mostly related to Spanish readers, allow me this time to use my native language:

Queridos lectores.

El primer fin de semana de Junio, impartiré un curso de pintura en San Fernando (Cádiz). Organiza Rafa Muriel, gerente de Órbita Model .

Explicaremos y detallaremos técnicas básicas, teoría técnicas aplicadas, avanzadas y conceptos básicos de aerografía. (No es necesario aerógrafo y compresor, pero si recomendable, si todos o la mayoría de alumnos disponen de uno enfocaremos parte del mismo temario al uso de la herramienta).

Habrá tiempo de aprendizaje, de demostraciones y de práctica, y trataremos de hacer el ambiente distendido y cercano. Podéis ver un par de reviews de cursos anteriores que he impartido en JEREZ y VALENCIA

Si estáis interesados, os ruego que os pongáis en contacto con el organizador del curso, Rafa, bien sea por facebook mandándole un mensaje a su tienda Órbita Model  o a su email rafaelmurielmunoz@gmail.com y el os podrá informar mejor sobre localización (no será en la tienda que se queda pequeña para un evento así, sino en un local cercano), tarifas, materiales necesarios, horarios y si fuese necesario, alojamientos.

Also, I'll keep you updated on the work I do every week I work on this Army. Past Monday 19th I posted the work done in week #2 so I reach this point:

I couldn't paint in a few weeks on this army because I had some urgent Boxarts to paint. But this week I could do some work on them.

Do you want to see what I did in week 3?

MINI VIDEO TUTORIAL: Painting light outlines and reflections on a dark shiny armour

Well, my intention is to share as much as I can (I've not so much time) small video tutorials, from 1 to 5 minutes everyone with a small part of WIP I'm painting.

This is my first one so the camera set-up is not perfectly adjusted.

Here I show you how I do paint in half of a leg the first light outline and freehand over airbrush pre-shaded some reflections. I said "first light outline" because outlines also have their own lights, and I'm planning to paint another 3 lights over those ones.

I used 3 different mixes of dark sea blue (Vallejo model colour) and pale Greyblue (Vallejo model colour) using the lighter or the medium one as the base for reflections (according to zone) and the other 2 as glazes to clean the lines.

Some parts are at 3x speed, not as fast to not see anything, but not so slow to be boring.

Mesa redonda en Órbita Model

El próximo Sábado 7 estaré en Orbita Model (San Fernándo), haciendo una presentación, mesa redonda y firma de libros.

Si os queda cerca y os apetece acercaros a charlar de forma distendida sobre el hobby un ratito, y ver un poco desde vastidores cómo he acabado aquí, empezaremos sobre las 12.

¡Sed bienvenidos!

Euphoria Miniatures scenography

During the Hispania Wargames, I went a few weeks ago, I had an interview with Oscar, manager of Euphoria Miniatures.

He is a great guy that runs a small miniatures brand with a great and funny game. Also, he was preparing several resin packs of Scenography that were very impressive for modern tabletop 30mm games.

He is selling them on their webpage in packs at a very good price. Also, he requested me to paint some of them. It was a quick job, but very funny. I also recommend these items if you want to have a great table to play.

You can buy them on their webpage:
