Have you ever had a painting session so successful that it makes every other session harder. I use Ciri's face for my avatar because it's one of the best things I've painted. But everything else I paint on my model is not and feels like I'm letting down the face. #miniPainting #thewitcher #witcher3

Slow progress on Ciri. Working on the metal belt. Trying to figure out how to convey the surface when the miniature itself is so heavily textured. #miniPainting #witcher3 #thewitcher

The last Pioneer. That's it for fully finished minis - no wonder people spread these to #finishedfriday - otherwise you run out of content. Better get painting #warcrow #miniature from @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #fantasy #skirmish #wargame

A Hegemony of Embersig Pioneer. One of the things that appealed to me about the faction was not only did it contain multiple peoples, but they were considered full citizens. #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #skirmish #fantasy #wargame

Lady Telia, terror of the early #warcrow meta. Capable of sniping characters out of units. Miniature by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #fantasy #skirmish #wargame.

There's a tiny bit of gold trim left to paint, and this miniature is done. When I'm done basing I can order my next miniature! See the thread for details. Ismail from #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting 1/6

The second of the Varank Skinchangers from @corvusbelli.bsky.social 's #fantasy #skirmish #miniatures #wargame #warcrow #miniPainting

I am not fully convinced by the flaming effect. However, I like to move forward on minis that are intended for gaming rather than get stuck seeking perfection. Ismail from #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #fantasy #skirmish #wargame #merchantalliance

I've been making my gold too warm and orange and then wondering why it doesn't really look like gold. Not changing it now, though. Ismail for #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #skirmish #miniatureWargame #miniPainting #fantasy

The first of two Varank Skinchangers for #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #wargame #skirmish #fantasy

Two updates in one. One session to paint the paints and tunic, and another to do the purple on the coat. Ismail from #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #miniatures #wargame #fantasy #skirmish

Painted the face of Ismail from #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social It was a really short session. I was tempted to skip painting last night but I promised myself I'd just do a small part. So far am very happy with my painting progress this year. #miniPainting #skirmish #fantasy #wargame

Flatted Ismail from #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social Looking forward to the golden embroidery on his clothes - the sculpting is chunky enough it should be easy. #miniPainting #fantasy #skirmish #merchantAlliance

Calling the Shikami done. Maybe. I think I figured out what the polearm shaft is missing, and I also forgot the ponytail. However, I am a big believer in moving on to the next model, so we'll see. #infinityTheGame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #wargame #cyberpunk

One comment I always hate hearing is: "Paintjob is so good it makes me not want to bother painting." Yet, I never hear "Messi is so good I won't play soccer." Why is this? 1/6 #miniPainting #theory

Njord the Merciless for #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social A very dynamic pose with interesting shapes to paint in his muscles. #fantasy #miniPainting #skirmish #northernTribes #varank

Work continues on the Shikami. She is nearly complete except for her weapon @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #infinityTheGame #infinityTheUniverse #skirmish #cyberpunk

Continuing my experiment with flatting darker, the LE Shikami for #infinityTheGame is flatted and awaiting rendering. I don't play the faction this model is for, but I'm still planning a tabletop paintjob. Hear why in the thead: @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #skirmish #cyberpunk

Ahlwardt the Ice Bear, a Varank commander for the Northern Tribes for #warcrow. I'd originally kept this mini aside while I painted my Winds from the North to show people the material during demos. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #fantasy #skirmish #wargame

Finished Mary Problems. Although the other two minis on my desk don't match in a basing scheme I'm still going to wait to do all the bases at once. Accidental finger for scale. #infinityTheGame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #skirmish #scifi #cyberPunk

Although my Nomads have a unique paint scheme I decided to paint Mary Problems in studio colours since she is a character model, and I was lazy. Miniature for #infinityTheGame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #skirmish #cyberPunk #wargame #sciFi

Interested in Infinity, or cyberpunk skirmish wargaming in general? On January 17th at 1pm Trinity Hobbies will be hosting the monthly Infinity meetup. It is a free and open event where anyone can show up and be guaranteed a game. @corvusbelli #infinitythegame #miniaturewargaming 1/2

Tragedy struck late last night. While cleaning my airbrush the nozzle rolled off my table onto the floor. It's a concrete floor and not a tiny nozzle compared to other brands yet has completely evaporated. #miniPainting #airbrush

The last of Winds from the North, the Wisemane. From #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #fantasy #skirmish #wargame

Merry Christmas. Hope everyone is able to spend time with family, found or otherwise. The last bucklerman for #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #skirmish #fantasy

Another Bucklerman from #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #skimirsh #fantasy #miniatureGame

Finished this Warcor, except for the base. Painted the bars on his feet bright orange because they look like they could be a pinching hazard to others. Looks like someone with too-loud-kicks Mini for #infinityTheGame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #miniPainting #sciFi #skirmish #cyberpunk

I have painted less every year since I started tracking in 2022. There are a number of reasons why, which I will explore in this thread, as well as my strategy for improving this. #miniPainting #miniatures 1/8

Making progress on the Warcor. It is not the most composed colour scheme but I am taking inspiration from real world sources. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #infinityTheGame #miniPainting #miniatureWargame #cyberpunk

Another Bucklerman, or should I say, Bucklerwoman, from the Hegemony of Embersig. I appreciate that @corvusbelli.bsky.social is keeping a high percentage of gender representation in #warcrow. #miniPainting #skirmish #fantasy #miniatureGame

Leader of the Bucklermen for the Hegemony of Embersig from #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social I like the paint scheme but am glad I'm not painting hundreds of models like this. #miniPainting #skirmish #fantasy #wargame

Started on a Warcor for #InfinityTheGame by @corvusbelli.bsky.social This is the LE Warcor for CB Warcors, since I'm now part of the program. Blue jeans, a light blue shirt and a blue kevlar vest seem to be standard for IRL war correspondents, so that's my goal. #MiniPainting #CyberPunk

The last of the Orc Hunters from Winds from the North for #warcrow. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #skirmish #fantasy #wargame

Ksenia is done. Her base will wait to be painted at the same time as my next miniature. I'm looking forward to using her as an HVT in games of Infinity but she wasn't that interesting to paint. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #infinitytheuniverse #miniaturewargame #skirmish #cyberpunk

Painted Ksenia's outer jacket. Liquitex Matte medium is frustratingly glossy for a matte medium. A thread on what's up with that 1/4 @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #infinitytheuniverse

Orc Hunter for #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social This is the leader of the unit. I think CB did a good job making the leader clear for the Hunters. #minipainting #fantasy #skirmish #miniaturegame

Sticking with the Orc Hunters for #warcrow. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #fantasy #skirmish #wargame #miniaturegame

Fast Panda is just a group of blokes filming their games but they are my favorite batreps. Also, TheClaw, possessing only one human hand, complaining that he cut "his favorite thumb" is comedy gold. youtu.be/vLNvUnCTVoA?... @corvusbelli.bsky.social #infinitythegame #miniaturegaming

Measured progress on Ksenia. Painted the skin, jacket lining and the dark red cloth hanging around her waist. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #infinitytheuniverse #aftermath

Orc Hunter from #warcrow It's easy to forget how big these minis are when you are painting them, but they are pleasingly chunky. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #fantasy #skirmish #miniaturewargame

I've wanted to paint this mini for a long time. Ksenia is a character in the graphic novel Aftermath by @corvusbelli.bsky.social and is a pre-order bonus mini. I have flatted her based on the concept art. #minipainting #infinitytheuniverse

The Frostfire Herald for the Hegemony of Embersig also wanted some bright magic effects. I didn't try to do any OSL - just have the magic look bright compared to the black and gold of the mini. Model for #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #fantasy #skirmish

The Evoker from Winds from the North, the first release for #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social I had fun trying to bring out a little luminance in the greens. #minipainting #fantasy #skirmish #miniaturewargame #northerntribes

I printed some big lof blocking signs and simple ladders to scatter over my terrain. They've been in use for a few months but it is time to paint them. Just simple designs I made in Fusion. #infinitythegame #minipainting #terrain

War Surgeon for #warcrow by @corvusbelli No more waiting for finishedfriday to share these. #minipainting #skirmish #fantasy

Aristeia is one of my favorite miniature games. It deserves more attention, so it's nice to see it getting it.

Interested in Infinity? In the Ottawa area? Stop by Out of the Box for a free demo tonight, starting around 6:30pm. Join me at Ootb Demo Day! sphere.corvusbelli.com/events/c1879... @corvusbelli.bsky.social #infinitythegame #skirmish #miniaturesgame #cyberpunk

Painted 4 different styles of black on Lady Telia. The glazes make the coat glossy so it'll be hard to tell the full effect until it is varnished. #Miniature for #warcrow by @corvusbelli.bsky.social #minipainting #fantasy #skirmish #miniaturewargame

Lady Telia for @corvusbelli.bsky.social #warcrow Just started, with lots left to go. CB has announced that they are close to releasing a new rules pdf for the game which incorporates all of the rules fixes since release. Really looking forward to that. #minipainting #skirmish #fantasy #miniwargame

Good enough for who it's for, as the @bikefarmer.bsky.social says. Finished #warcrow dwarf Pioneer. @corvusbelli.bsky.social #fantasy #minipainting #skirmish #miniaturewargame
