Community Pimp: Past and Present Painting
Back to Basics: Then and Now [part 1]
Back to Basics: Then and Now [part 2]
First, properly painted*, miniature (not finished, of course). Mould lines were retained, so as to ensure that 'reinforced look'. Please note the subtle washes on the 'cloth' and axe handle, and the tight layering/wash on the AMM axe. Even the boots have a subtle, brown, wash. As was de rigueur, at the time, the painting technique is SOOTP (straight-out-of-the-pot). I need not comment on the prowess of the base (ca. 1993) ...
*after reading the 'How To' books and trying shading, layering etc (but not much highlighting, interestingly).
For recent work, you will have to follow Old Red Necron.
