The miniature Borderlands figures I've painted for our
Headshots from the Heart charity marathon are complete! Below are the final photos of this great task, and remember that you can try to win them during the event by bidding in our auctions. (All proceeds go to the
Childs Play Charity) The 24 hour marathon begins this Sunday the 26th at 12.30p.
To sweeten the deal, my dad's made 3 very nice glass display bells - we're going to include them with the three figures that end up auctioning for the most. (So if you want one, you'll have to keep this in mind!)
These are all painted in a style new to me. I've tried to achieve the cell-shaded look from the video game using exaggerated shadows and highlights while experimenting with how I apply them to the models. This may be less realistic, but I'm greatly satisfied with what I've created over the last two months and think they turned out looking fantastic!
I'm sure what you're wondering though is, "What do they look like?" I've posted the standard quality photos first, and included uber-high-res ones at the end of the article.
If you want to take a look at posts that show these works in progress, with descriptions, you can
read the series. (I'll also be adding them to my
Step by Step page.)

High-Resolution Photos
DISCLAIMER - these figures are a few inches tall, not 3 feet tall. High-res are great for looking at specific details, but can also make models appear lower quality. Judge them by the above photos, which are closer to the actual size of the figures.
With many thanks to
MiniWarGaming and their crew for donating the miniatures that are being painted for this project.
Final figures will be auctioned off, all proceeds going to the
Childs Play charity during the
Headshots from the Heart marathon.
