Screenshot of the premiere-preview screen in dark-mode youtube. The title of the video says "Our best challenge yet?! Entropy - The Results!" posted on the GitGud Painting channel. The thumbnail is nicely designed as a split glass with a hole in the middle and many of the resulting broken glass shards are photoshopped to show the many challenge entry miniatures and figures.

Thanks 😊
Well, most of it is various half-glazes.

I guess you could say the closer I get to a smooth finish the thinner the mix gets. And then it's just a question of when to stop 😁

After a short break, the Telemon dread is back and I've jumped back into painting the decorative details on its left leg. The vertical split between osl and dark purple light was fun!

Once I'm done with all the silver nmm I'll move on to the weapon options.

A collage for three work-in-progress update photos of my telemon dreadnought miniature. These pictures show close-ups of the left legs shin guard with its detailed decorative sculpts of an aquila symbol and two floral filigree details on either side. One side is painted to be affected by green osl emitted by the base and the other side is defined by one of the environmental purple-ish light sources. The dreadnought overall is painted to be mostly shiny black armor, with some sharp highlights in white blended out with blues and purples and blue-purple shoulder pads. The decorative details are painted to look silver and there's accent coloration done in magenta, like the rocket tips, the headlights and eye lenses of the dreadnoughts head. It's placed above a rune on the base, which glows in a blue-green-yellow color blend, so the bottom parts of the dreadnought are lit up accordingly by that osl. The photography was done in front of grey background and has a very low opacity CryoCheese icon in the bottom left corner. The miniature is produced and sold by Games Workshop.

I spent all my painting time this week just refining the hair on Blade Zero.

Now it should properly read as white hair all around. Even in the shadows and under osl. πŸ˜…

Work in progress photo of the Neko Galaxy "BladeZero" miniature bust I'm currently painting. In my painted take on the bust she's wearing a blue undershirt, a purple bolero, white hair, pale skin with black makeup as well as gree reticule shaped pupils on black eyeballs. There's also a small detail of Cyberpunk2077-inspired cyberware on the back of the nose and the metal details are painted in a very warm, orange-reading, non metal metallic, except for the knife, which is painted to look like sharp shiny steel. The holsters hanging off her shoulders are meant to resemble very worn out red leather, one of them hit by the bright neon green object source light hitting her from the left and behind - on the otherwise dark side, compared to the main environmental light (sky/sun). The figure depicted is a kind of futuristic assassin, posed in an attack-motion with one of its two daggers.

"What do we do in the face of the inevitable?"

That is the question I wanted this piece to pose, after researching 'Entropy', which was the theme for the monthly challenge in January, run by the GitGud community. (go check them out!)

#miniature #miniaturebust #minipainting #violin #entropy
Photography of my paintjob on the 'Winter' bust, produced and sold by Ember MIniatures. It is heavily altered to better fit the monthly GitGud miniature painting challenge for january, which I entered this piece in. To visualize the challenges topic of 'Entropy' I sawed the assembled bust into many pieces and reassembled them with pins and superglue in a way that shows it breaking apart. The paintjob is done with caucasian skin, red hair, white fur and purple-blue dress, the violin has some red veins in the wood structure and there's four details that are entirely painted in gold TMM paint. The backdrop is different polygonal shapes made out of plasticard and painted in different colors and textures. Photography of my paintjob on the 'Winter' bust, produced and sold by Ember MIniatures.

These are some WIP pictures of the customization process.

The backdrop is made out of plasticard and the connections are mostly pinned with 1mm wire wherever the size of the parts would allow for it.
WIP smartphone picture of the customization process of the 'Winter' bust, produced and sold by Ember MIniatures. it shows a small image of the intact assembled bust in the bottom right corner with the word "before", and the spread out pieces on black velour background in the rest of the image, after I cut them off one by one with a hobby saw. This was done to better visualize the challenge topic of 'Entropy'. WIP smartphone picture of the customization process of the 'Winter' bust, produced and sold by Ember MIniatures. This shows the fully re-assembled bust with the separate parts slighly skewed in all sort of different angles and twisting states, to show the opened gaps inbetween.
