"O'Leary Cowgrils Leilon and Niamh" Topic

Here's my sister Leilon

Here's Niamh

These are both from Reaper and were sculpted by Bob Ridolfi.

I've just finished the last one and I'm knackered from painting and posting these and the Pirate Babes. Some of this was an experiment, just to see how many people I could get to look at my work. Here's my stats just on my blog for the last 30 days.

Now this is just my blog. I toted these girls around multiple forums and hauled in around 5,000 more people. Bottom line is that I got Reaper product in front of over 150,000 people. Just me, a painter of one year, all by myself.

So what is my point? Painters and gamers are a wonderful source of free advertising.

Next up is Ellen Stone.

Now take a look at my numbers today and let's see how high they go by the time I'm done with the Cowgirls.

Nice work Anne!

Painters and gamers are indeed a wonderful source….and boys like girls too.

I've an idea inspired by yer gals….The Morrigan Sisters, Macha, Nemain and Badb! A challenge for you? I'd give it a go myself but I paint like an Ent.

Cheers, Rob.

Lot of improvemnet there! Congrats!!!! It looks like to finally made it to the masterclass!

Great brushwork!

Leilon is either missing her horse or has executed the evil one she had and stuck it's head on a post!

Nice work Anne. Where does Leilon keep her internal organs? Not much room in the waist area for them.

Very nice work!

I know much of the numbers are due to the fact that I'm posting babes. My next goal is to see if I can do the same thing with no babes. I'm going to pit these girls numbers against a vignette from Knuckleduster and a vignette using Tom Meier sculpts. The key words will be "Knuckleduster" and "Tom Meier" in the titles. Then I'll test historicals by using some Vikings from Gripping Beast.

I don't know what will happen. But I will improve as a painter by doing this so either way I win.

Thank you. I've got a blogger buddy who is a judge for ReaperCon critiquing my work via email right now. I have a solid grasp of the fundamentals. There are many things to improve on. My transitions need to be smoother, my lining between areas needs to be more intense and I need more brush control. My basing needs serious work and my photography skill must improve. I also must learn how to wet blend.

We won't let her ride anymore as she doesn't know how to react well with a horse. A nag took off with her once and headed into the woods. Now there were some very low hanging branches and instead of sitting low over the horse, she reared back, sawing on the reins. Those branches cut her up and the horse just got more scared. If I hadn't been with her, she'd have been killed. I think that's the head of that horse on the stick.

Nice work Anne. Where does Leilon keep her internal organs? Not much room in the waist area for them.

She mows the lawn in her bikini. She and her husband own a lake and all the local boys were asking to come and fish it. When he found out the boys were only fishing the lake so they could see Leilon mowing, he put a sign up on his property that said "No fishing, No hunting, DON'T ASK" He was not a happy man.

I'm going to post pics of the four of us after I'm done. I painted these to look like each one of us and to fit our personalities. Mines next and she's packing three guns and she looks exactly like me when I was 17.

Great job on both figures. They look excellent.

I have the figure used for Leilon O'Leary, I replaced the horse head n the staff for a skull. I'm painting her to be a Weird West Witch for Deadlands.

That is quality work Anne!

I would love to see a pic of her. Can you post one for me?

Thank you Francis!

Lovely women, Anne! Boot Hill never looked so good. Great work too on your blog.

Excellent painting Anne, keep it up!!!

There is the added rarity of a female painter showing her work in a traditionally male domain.

As for you being a painter of only a years experience…..I wish I had half your talent.

Nicely painted, Anne. My 9 year old daughter Niamh was also impressed when I showed her your rifle-slinging cowgirl of the same name…she pointed out that she even has blonde hair like her. Perhaps I might have to paint up the same model for her now. Keep up the good work!

Wow Leilon has an improbable ledge!

Niamh is a nice bit o painting, well done.

Thank you. I've got the last one done but there was no sun today so I haven't gotten her photographed. As soon as the sun comes out, I'll do that and then I'll ship them to you. I hope you like them!

Excellent painting Anne, keep it up!!!

Thank you Ray!!

Actually being a female makes it harder. I'm a drummer and began playing when I was about nine years old. I had to prove myself over and over again for years. Drummers, like painters are critical of each other and being a girl is a handicap.

You should do one up for her, she'd love it. Then your wife would want one too!

Thank you Dave!

Those are nicely painted figures. Niamh could be a great figure for Western gaming. Her blue jeans on Niamh are very realistic. They both have a lot of life in them. Great work!

Really lovely work there.

Thank you. I'm painting up the Billiards Vignette from Knuckleduster now and really am fascinated by that period of American history.

Really lovely work there.

Thank you sir!

Excelent work Anne!.

Hope to see more in the near future.!

All I can do is repeat what's already being said, you swing a mean brush! Your use of colour is fantastic, apt, and refreshing! Keep up the good work

The last Cowgirl will be posted as soon as I get a sunny day to take a good photo. Horribly overcast here right now. The sun is to shine on Monday I hear!

My Knuckleduster is under way and my Tom Meier sculpts are basecoated. The Meier stuff is very, very colourful

Some of us are painters, few of us are artists. You, my dear are the latter!

Ellen Stone is a super figure. I painted one for my outlaw Posse & used kind of 'wicked witch of the west' blacks & dark & bright greens (the latter as vertical stripes on trousers) & dark hair. She looks really BAAAD

I would really like to see her. Would you post it or give me a link?
