Back on the Goblin Train with this Zorro inspired gob from @gazminis.bsky.social Tried to use Darkwing Duck as the color theme, but that's tricky as she ain't Donald Ducking it. (Tho, knowing Gaz I'm sure there is a version where she is). #goblin #miniaturepainting

Dang. Finally motivated to try and put something together for an actual factual physical mini paining contest, but of course the nearest/next (Everwinter) happens during my weekend to work. Still, got all these bits, might as well do something with them...

#WIPWednesday After last week's Sister bust, I was unhappy with how the face turned out. So back to the drawing board with a lil practice with a focus on multicolor underpainting. Thinned warmed flesh over multicolor, normal flesh glaze, then adjustments and tweaks. #miniaturepainting #bust

A Saturnine Terminator! First model, so did not want to get too nutso with all the Word Bearers faff. Happy with the grey stone armor plates and shading. Maybe need a bit more drip from the bloody hand to sell it, tho. #warhammer #warhammercommunity #horusheresy

Never painted an Imperial Fist before, hope I did it right. #warhammer #wh40k #miniaturepainting

I'm in awe of the size of this lad. Absolute unit. Greek for scale. If I could source just one 30k infantry dude, I'd try to bodge it that the Terminator here just crushed their head. #horusheresy #warhammer

Saved up a bunch of Amazon gift cards from doing online surveys about how I don't want AI agents in my credit cards or whatever and here we are. These are some bigbois! I need to keep myself from assembling them all so I can save some for conversions I have in mind. #warhammer #horusheresy

Sister of Battle I'm calling her done - also she became more of a learning piece than something I'd display. I'll go into some thoughts and what I'd do differently throughout the day below. #miniaturepainting #warhammer #40k #sistersofbattle

WIP Wednesday Just totally normal stuff as I use a foil shaded book light to try to guide a shaft of light into the Sister bust for future reference. Been going round and round on her skin - first pass was too ruddy for a spaceborn nun. #wipwednesday #wh40k #sistersofbattle #minipainting

John Wooing it up with a bunch of extra doves on this Holy Shogunate Sniper Priest from Bite the Bullet. Tricky to paint for camera as I wanted him more shadowed to the front, but am happy how he came out! Feels like he's exploding into violence. #miniaturepainting #trenchcrusade

WIP Wednesday! About 4 hours in. I don't usually paint GW stuff - my group moved on to Infinity and it's hard to justify a $$$ kit when I have a resin printer. Sometimes I'll find a STL, like this one from Busts Workshop, that scratches an itch. #miniaturepainting #sistersofbattle #gamesworkshop

Tyrianna the Elven Knight (Repost due to better picture - why not lean into light when photographing chrome?) Mini by @twingoddessminis.bsky.social This was my liquid chrome experiment - not bad. Patience required as it takes a while to dry, especially if you want to tint it. #miniaturepainting

Kome the Oni Farmgirl Mini by @twingoddessminis.bsky.social Tried to keep her outfit rustic in tone to contrast her vibrant skin tone. Built the fence from some balsa and hemp cord, flowers from Rival Arts. #miniaturepainting

WIP - Shiny and Chrome! Leaning into the Molotow Liquid Chrome, tinting/shading with some of my blue juice (aka Marine Juice, but nightshade instead of fleshshade), and then highlighting with more chrome. #miniaturepainting

Blue Fairy. Imagine this was from a 'see something blue / post something blue' chain that was going around that I can't find again for reasons attributed to the many failings of our modern world. #miniaturepainting

WIP Wednesday The bodged together Druid Turned Necromancer shows she can still go green while a swordself gets metallic. Both extra require drying time between layers, so double booking. #miniaturepainting #wip #wipwednesday

Sean, a Disgruntled Druid This sculpt by @awkwpengu.bsky.social dropped the same day I heard about @prideonparade.bsky.social so it seemed like fate that I paint them up to join the parade. They're a bit banged up but not giving up. #prideonparade #miniaturepainting

Just goes to show that with enough skeletons, anymore can become a necromancer, even this rando druid from my print pile. #wip #miniaturepainting

Hey, @coreypress.com 👋 This lil bug has questions about your character 🪲 Touching grass and working at the same time rarely makes sense in my life, unless I decide to add pencil sketching as a step in the process. #tradart #dndart #dnd #art

WIP Wednesday Still working on Ashe from @twingoddessminis.bsky.social . This is actually my second print of her as my attempted "short cuts" on her fishnets lead to disaster. Still need to figure out a base that fits a neo fantasy goth elf! #miniaturepainting

**HEY-NONNIE-NONNIE INTENSIFIES** Yuta the Bard from @awkwpengu.bsky.social Scaled them up 200%. Originally, I wanted to try out a pastel paint set I got, but the warm reds, yellows, and oranges called to me. #miniaturepainting

All Hands on the Bad One Corin, Carrie, and Janet ready to get stuck in. Been a minute since I've batch painted in tabletop scale. Sculpts by Hardwitch. #miniaturepainting

Sonya! From @gazminis.bsky.social Finished her up last night. Tried out one of those stick on base toppers from Rival Crafts - bit of a learning curve applying but came out well in the end. #miniaturepainting

HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers to convince people to follow you.

WIP continues Next up is highlights on the leather, cape, and hair. Might work in the face shadows in paint instead of a happy lighting accident. Sonya mini from @gazminis.bsky.social #miniaturepainting

WIP Wednesday Sonya by @gazminis.bsky.social Going for a broody, high contrast piece so still a bunch of shading and highlights to go. #wipwednesday #miniaturepainting

Bust of Janessa Galeheart By Artisan Guild I think I put a hat on a hat with positioning a physical secondary light to match the painted direction of light, but other than that I think she came out pretty well! #miniaturepainting

Minnow By @twingoddessminis.bsky.social I ended up building her a lil dock to walk down. I figured if I was a small fisher goblin, I'd want bright clothing so I could be seen if/when I fall overboard. #miniaturepainting #goblinmode

Work continues. Did a bit of an oil wash with Prussian Blue to help bind the various elements together. Next step is bringing up the highlights and resaturating some of the colors that got washed out. #miniaturepainting

WIP Jetlag almost over, but still lingering enough to get me up 45 minutes early to do some base coating and a bit of wet blending on the tentacle. #miniaturepainting

#wipwednesday Back on my bullshit after vacation with an elf and goblin from @twingoddessminis.bsky.social, trench shaman from Westphalia, and necron from @gazminis.bsky.social Honestly, I think standing in my basement spray station with a beer and some zenithaling is one of my fav hobby moments.

A jet lagged paint job. Need something to do when I wake up at 4am! Picked up this guy from a pound a mini box at a small game convention in Cornwall, so not sure the STL sculptor. Vampire? Spider Mutant? Regal regardless. #miniaturepainting

In the darkest hole of my heart, I admit I want to paint one of those big shoulders Saturnine Terminators, but not hunting down a giant box want. I guess at some point they will come out in a box all their own? Or maybe there's an STL I can track down.

When I was looking for mini related stuff around where we are staying in Cornwall, I found this company that does whole base caps. Like sheets of grass tufts, but bigger and stonier. I think they're pretty cool, could probably use some pigment powder or oil wash to shade and redirect light a bit?

Goddamn Wizards!

This place is infested with goddamn wizards

More #wip before work. Think I've hit the upper limit of bringing up the reds before they go into orange/pink, so will need to rely on shading to bring up the contrast more. Not sure what I want to do for metal (sword, bra, collar). Not confident in my NMM yet to swing it there. #miniaturepainting

WIP as I slowly shove the light higher up on the model. #wipwednesday #miniaturepainting

Welcome to Witherforks! Prepping for a UK trip where I'll need a creative outlet and thinking about picking up a RPG zine idea I had about a fantasy pub chain run by a lich who is investing in its future by taking over those fantasy taverns where adventurers get their start. #printmaking #dnd #zine

Finally, I might finally figure #bluesky out. I commissioned this Hadrey years ago, right after I got my 1st 3D printer. Still proud of how her skin turned out and kind of want to paint another. Wish I knew what a PITA her hair would be to print. Next time, she's getting a bob. #miniaturepainting

TONIGHT... on Love Island... A new bombshell enters the Villa. "I'm Thibia, I'm 547 years old, and I'm a Dungeon Greeter from Balder's Gate. Once they see me, I know the boys will want to jump these bones." STL by @vaevictisminis.bsky.social #loveisland #miniaturepainting #bae

Warforged Swashbuckler STL by @twingoddessminis.bsky.social He's not totally done - I drilled a small hole in his fist in hopes of finding a small flower for him to hold. #miniaturepainting

Heading over to the UK next week to visit Cornwall by way of Wiltshire. Any recommended game stores in the Southwest? I'm mainly interested in discovering new minis, restocking some hobby supplies, and other stuff that's hard to get in the States. #gaming #cornwall #hobby #miniaturepainting

Hey, 4th Place! Competition in @twingoddessminis.bsky.social regular painting showdown really heated (heh) up of late so I'm happy to be the Pewter Painter. Looking back, the main revision I'd do is bring out the clouds more and back the stars off from being so obvious blip dots. #miniaturepainting

Might, faun warrior STL by @awkwpengu.bsky.social The culmination of a few experiments. I think the NMM chestplate reads pretty well, but dang if I did not go round and round on the sword. Eventually I just slapped a flor blue wash on an okay attempt and am calling it magical. #miniaturepainting

Hadrey, Halfling Occultist Hand carved and pulled by me. Speaking of halfling spookydooks, here's a Hadrey I carved recently. Most my usual kit is in storage, so she's a bit rough, but good for a kitchen table pull! #printmaking #fantasy #occult #dnd

Halfling Occultist The STL came from a rando Kickstarter I backed and, once you look past the obvious assets, it's kinda weird. For ex, notice the weird 90 degree robe corner on her right thigh. Tried a new approach for the skin and still on the fence about it. #miniaturepainting #minipainting

Quick clay roller base - dry brush, wash, pigment powders, done. I very much have a love hate relationship with basing. I understand their importance, but dang it I just want to be dunzo with the piece sometimes, yanno?

Clay was on sale last week so whipped up a batch of delicious base cookies. Finally found a roller that was more in scale of 75mm figures, so hope to get some easy basing use out of them.

From back when I was still printmaking. This was from a print exchange where I printed her on pages from Girls to the Front in addition to my usual wood veneer.
