Meandering artist-type person. Currently investing my practice time into mini painting!
Went to paint night at my flgs last night! It was an off week due to the upcoming holiday so it was a pretty small crowd. Still a good time! Painted up this Spinner and tried to work on my highlighting. Particularly on the robes. I think it came out okay! :3

More #infinity painting done! The JSA folks from the Start Here box today. Still have to do their bases but so far so good I feel :3

Realized last night that I hadn't done the base for my warlock yet for the upcoming league! Whoops! So I got her taken care of. Here's the whole group for week 1 of the journeyman league!

Based my beasties! Used #akinteraxtive 'muddy ground' texture paste for some more texture for a swampy look (not that Hydrix's base left a lot of room for it :p)

More painting! Painted up some warbeasts for the #warmachine journeyman league starting up this week at my flgs. I got some new pearlescent gold paint from #P3 that I wanted to try out. All in all not bad but they could use more contrast. Still learning, still a good duck.

Finished all but the bases on my PanO minis from #infinity! Still have to work on my brush control as I can see lots of places my brush strayed or bumped spots I didn't mean to. Practice is practice! :3

Worked on painting my Infinity folks more last night. I tried doing some highlighting/glazing on the armor and pants. I'm not super thrilled with how it's looking. I might need to re-basecoat those bits and try again :/

Just picked up some 'Ghost' brushes from one my local gaming stores :D I'll have to try them out tonight to see how they feel! White nylon bristles are an interesting look and it should, hopefully, get me better about not overloading a brush to the ferrule. Something I need practice at :P

Went to this month's painting night at my flgs. Picked up a new wet palette since the old one was kinda meh. A couple more paints and a silicone palette too. Spent my time there working on base coating some #infinity minis! Still a decent bit of work ahead but it's a start :3

Finished up basing Kyrrax's command cadre today! These are the last of the lowlands style bases for now I think. I'm thinking of making the bases for Shyryss and friends with a more swampy theme. :3

And one last photo of the entire group I have so far! <3

And the group shot! Swapped out to a black backdrop and tried doing some photo editing to bring out the colours better. :3

Based the rest of my #trenchcrusade minis! I think the bases on these came out better than the thralls; at least the rustiness of the mud seems more apparent :3

More basing done! I'm thinking of keeping all of the command cadre on the same 'lowlands' style base. This leaves the two conjurers and the Drakyon to go! Here's some of Kyrrax's lizardtaur friends :3

Last week I got a game of #warmachine in at my LGS with the roomie. It was interesting playing with the store's terrain but it did take a while to set up since we didn't know where anything was :P We played the scenario 'wolves at our heels' at 50pts & I pulled out a win with an assassination run :3

Shyryss the Flawless Dark (with, perhaps some flaws :p)

Oof. Gotta love waking up for no good reason at like 4am and not being able to get back to sleep. :x

Finished with all but basing on these wyrmspine shadowmancers! :3 Tried my hand at highlights to various levels of success. Gotta keep practicing my brush control. I could also use to buy a new brush that will keep its tip better. #miniature #painting #warmachine

Went to a paint night event held at my LGS last night! Only managed to get a start on these wyrmspine shadowmancers but it's something! Trying to get better at shading and highlighting. Still a lot of practice needed (and on maybe not a bone colour to start :p) #minis #warmachine #painting
