Meandering artist-type person. Currently investing my practice time into mini painting!
H'ok, applied some dark wash to antique it up a bit and some rust to the steel bits for more je ne sais rust. Not a huge change from before but certainly looks more weathered I think :3 Base still needs a tuft or two.

Got a WIP plague knight I'm working on. Still needs some rust and grime but it's a start! :3

Think I'm finished with Sin Buddy here. I need to touch up the base more and add a couple tufts or some such. But all in all pretty happy with how he turned out. I still need to get better at photographing though! The colours aren't nearly so stark in person.

Working on painting up Mr. Sins here from #TrenchCrusade :D So far I've only put some #P3 Molten Bronze paint. Really digging the colour :3 I need to finish up all the base coats & then I can start grunging it up with some #ArmyPainter Verdigris & some #VillainyInk Goon's Grime & Carrion Crimson :3

Recently I've had a time trying to figure out when I'd be able to get some minis primed. Plus I just received the #Khymaera #Warmachine auxiliary box on Sunday. Yesterday was finally open & the wind light & I got those & some #TrenchCrusade minis primed & ready for painting :D

So maybe a melee build for Hydrix 🤔
Painted up a few more options for Hydrix here. Like the toothy maw and the blockheads. Also some pretty butterfly wings! ❤️

More #Warmachine painting! Here is my first unit of cinderbacks. I tried using some #TurboDork on them to give an interesting metallic shine to their backs. Still need to improve at highlighting! But they turned out pretty okay I think :3

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

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