Just finished a bit of kitbashing on some greywater fastness steelhelms, wanted to give them a bit of extra personality for a warcry warband so they are 4 gunners, a knight, duelist halberdier, a priest and two men at arms

You've seen the WIP, and here's the finished piece. @trenchcrusade.bsky.social has been a HUGE injection of inspiration and so logically I had to make a display piece. You'll be able to hear lots more about TC on our YouTube channel very soon!

Want us to paint your minis? Reach out and let's talk!

#hobbystreak 3 - I finally got my airbrush set back up so varnished and did the finishing touches to this #monsterhunter Barroth by @steamforgedgames.bsky.social I started a while back. Some slight conversions to add mud spouts/armour, + some quick basing. #paintingminiatures #painting #minipainting

Bit of a simpler paintjob for a toothy problem. Those dawners sure look tasty ☠️

And at long last, my first unit of magnetised Tau Farsighted Enclaves Crisis Battlesuits is painted!

#WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer #40k #Nerdlings

Painted tabletop wargame miniatures; 3 robotic exosuits stand in a row with all of their weapon options arrayed infant of them. Behind them are six circular flying drones. All are painted in combinations of red, blue-black, ocher, white, gold, and other metallic tones.

Tofu

@tofupixel.bsky.social

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...
#tutorial

Hope someone finds it useful!

A screenshot of a tumblr post reading:

"Title: So you want to learn pixel art?
Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!

Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic."

Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light.

"My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.

This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

Well mostly, didn't have the transfers, so 95% done. They were too much of a pain to freehand and I'm not made of time.
