It seems that lately I have been doing more painting for others than I have ever done. I normally do not do commissions but it seems I’m starting to like doing it more for a couple of reasons, one it gives me a chance to paint thing I might not normally paint, periods, different conflicts, etc…. and I also fell better taking money earned from the hobby to buy more goodies for my hobby!

One of our group recently purchased a Byzantine SAGA war-band from another in our group and wanted to expand on the original forces. He asked me if I was interested because he wanted me to try to match the paint style of the original figures. Since I had considered painting one of my own Byzantine war-bands I thought this might be fun and a good way to really get a feel for the colors and style.
