Bombshell Miniatures

[Patrick]

Just wanted to drop you all a note we've launched our new blog and posted some initial concept art of our upcoming releases. Along with sculpting and designing some of the pieces myself, we have an awesome lineup of other artists and sculptors that we will be announcing over the next couple of weeks.

My god man! Those are some great concepts you have to work from. You say they will be able to work into gaming, does this mean they will be "minis"? If so do you have plans to make any 54mm + versions? I paint my figures for display so I tend to gravitate towards the larger scale figures in the 54mm +. I'm looking forward to your progress.

Milosh! Thanks for the interest. Glad you like the art. We've got a few more rock stars lined up for character designs we'll be revealing over the next few weeks.

This initial line of Babes will be in the popular gaming size, so in the 30mm area. We have plans to expand the line into 54mm at some point, and many of these designs and characters may be included in that range.

sounds great. I'm looking forward to the releases especially the larger range. Thanks for getting back to me.

Being a fan of minis, and a fan of pin-ups/bombshells, I'll definitely be watching this.

Meagan has been reimagined by artist Keri Ruediger. I sent Keri a list of reference material along with the image of the original character and after a series of fantastic thumbnails she has turned out the piece here. Over the next several weeks, Keri will render the image in color for promotional use and to provide a guide for painting the studio model.

I have started blocking the initial figure out and this is the posed armature.

The piece was originally offered through my initial boutique line as a limited edition piece. The new one will be available in an unlimited casting run and will include a companion monkey with blunderbuss.

This is Tim Collier's concept art for the Maelee the Mechanic character. We decided on an amalgam between the two for the final piece.

We also want to announce a new Contributor - Meg Maples - Painter

Meg began painting in 2004 for personal enjoyment and gaming, then moved on to level up her skills over the next several years. She started commission work in 2005 and began competing in painting competitions. Building her skills, she soon won several awards and has since provided work as a freelancer for many of the top miniatures companies in the industry. She has painted for online sales and many of her pieces fetch high prices on eBay when available. Now she resides in the Pacific Northwest where she offers the occasional painting workshop and makes convention appearances between brushstrokes.

Who can say no to a monkey with a blunderbuss?
