I know somewhere in one of the boxes in storage is a whole mess of figures I painted more than 20 years ago. I used mine for gaming (AD&D 2nd Edition). At the time they were considered very well done, and had won a few regional awards at conventions in Colorado although never first place. (sponsored by TSR, I think), but it looks like they've come a long way since. I'll have to track them down and see if I can't get decent pictures of them.
