Favorite Oldhammer Painter?

Maybe makes more sense with smooth 3d sculpted stuff but doesn't do anything for me. I guess it's a projection of nmm which I'm also not a fan of on gaming miniatures. Works ok in a diorama, sometimes.

I kinda pity the artist that has to deal with THAT inker for their comic work.. has an interesting style on figures but 'comic book style'? yikes... not even Colletta...

It's an interesting style to see, I wonder if it's developed from a need to differentiate. I think the standard of mini painting has increased in general and with the proliferation of tutorials and a fairly "common" way to paint this is a way to stand out much as the top tier painters of the past did both by dint of their talent and the smaller nature of the audience.

I saw this first on mecha, makes more sense?
People painting mecha kits to look like their original drawn versions?

I'm the complete opposite where I don't really like using metallic colours to paint with and prefer a sort of slightly exaggerated palette and primary colours to make the miniatures stand out.

Its a really interesting technique and there are some really impressive displays of that cell shade style, have had to double take that it is a 3d model on some!
