Sorry if this is a little spammy... I did an interview with local conversion and painting heart-throb Isotope99.
I thought you guys might enjoy it. Mods, if this violates a rule or is in poor taste, feel free to set me on fire. :)
excerpt (added by admin as an example of how to best handle these things)
Yeah buddy! I got a chance to sit down with (figuratively) Bell of Lost Souls’ master converter Isotope99. I asked some of your questions, and some of my own. I hope you guys enjoy this! Feel free to comment/ask more questions!
The Big Mek: OK, lets start with an easy one. What’s your name?
Isotope99: Phil, but you’ll mostly find my stuff under isotope99 (don’t ask me why I’ve just been using it for ages).
TBM: Do you have a Facebook Page and Twitter for your art?
I99: I don’t, I mostly upload to Bell of Lost Souls as it’s easier to manage. One day I may set up a blog of my very own, but I haven’t gotten round to it yet.
TBM: Do you use third party parts, or just GW?
I99: Pretty much just GW. I like to play at the official events at their UK HQ so I tend to stick with standard parts. Plus I’ve gotten used to working with their plastic.
TBM: If you use third party parts, which companies do you recommend?
I99: Machinator, from Blood and Skulls Industry does some impressively crisp tank parts but I mostly stick to GW.
TBM: It looks like you have a huge collection of Rogue Trader era art. Where else do you get your inspiration for your work?
I99: Sometimes the novels, probably indirectly from some video games and films, mostly out of my imagination (at least I like to think so). I do a lot of rough sketches before starting that sometimes suggest poses and parts that I might use. Sometimes it’s just rummaging through my various bitz boxes and putting aside useful potential parts.
