❤️ the way this ogre came out. I sketched & blended him: painted a zenithal highlight, applied the paint in a paint by numbers style, & then blended it all together. Highlighted it again w/white & then a diluted skin color for a bright look. Fear the ogre with no scars! 😂 My fave paint job so far.

Somehow I started and finished this mini today. Painted with a limited palette of split primaries from #Golden #SoFlat paints. #Zargon from the #HeroQuest board game. Paint info in the alt text. #minipainting #miniature #art #limitedpalette #splitprimaries
A painted miniature of Zargon, from the HeroQuest board game. His over robe is painted purple with yellow trim, his underrobe is a slate grey, his upper chest armor copper, and he holds a wooden staff with a gold crescent-shaped top. He wears a crown and his skin is a sickly light blue. Front view. This mini was painted using a limited palette of split primaries from Golden SoFlat paints. The colors are: titanium white, bismuth vanadate yellow, permanent yellow deep, ultramarine blue, phthalo blue (green shade), quinacridone magenta, naphthol red light, and black.

Finished two #Pathfinder #Goblins, practicing painting #torchlight. Very happy with the result. The one on the left was painted mostly with #fluorescents and the one on the right with traditional paint. The first two photos are under typical light and the last two under black light. #minipainting

Nearly done #WIP of #Pathfinder #goblin. All I really need to do is lightly dry brush the base, which is #Vallejo Thick Russian Mud. Quite happy with it for essentially five hours work or so and my second attempt at #osl. I’ll post the final version when it’s done.

#Pathfinder #goblins #WIP. Tuned up the torches. Redid the one on the left with fluorescents. Second pic is with a black light. Still need to tune up the size of the circle of light and the colors. Paint info in alt text. #golden #soflat #kimera #kimerakolors
Two partly painted Pathfinder goblin miniatures. Each of the goblins is holding a sword and torch. Front view. All colors are Golden SoFlat paints unless noted. The one with brown on the front has its shadow greens made of dark green and burnt umber. The one with red in the front has its shadow greens made of dark green and quinacridone red. For the one on the right, torches and torchlight are painted with cadmium primrose, cadmium orange, Kimera Kolors orange, quinacridone red, cadmium red dark, and a mix of the cadmium red dark mixed with burnt umber. For the one on the left, the torch is painted nearly entirely with fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange, and fluorescent red, with glazes of Kimera orange. The tips are painted with cadmium red dark and burnt umber. One partly painted Pathfinder goblin miniature. The goblin is holding a sword and torch. Front view. All colors are Golden SoFlat paints unless noted. The shadow greens are made of dark green and quinacridone red, I’m experimenting with complementary colors instead of adding burnt umber, Payne’s grey, or black. Here the torch is painted nearly entirely with fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange, and fluorescent red, with glazes of Kimera orange. The tips are painted with cadmium red dark and burnt umber.

#Pathfinder #goblins #WIP. Gotta learn how to paint light, so #OSL will do the trick. Circle of light is too big and the colors need to be adjusted. Not bad for a 90 minute session, pictured how they started and where they’re at now. Paint info in alt text. #golden #soflat #kimera #kimerakolors

Not much time to paint lately, so I was happy that I managed to finish the #skeletons from the #HeroQuest board game. Painted four ways, a grand experiment for me. First, #sketched and #blended; second, based and #washed; third, based and #drybrushed; last, #Vallejo #xpress paints. Lots of fun!

Took a wonderful class with #PavelMichal of #Dakan_Minis on mini painting story telling. I highly recommend! #verkosvault #verko’svault Cool modular figure, loads of fun collaborating with other attendees. Shockingly I largely finished it, if not totally refined it. Great stuff!
The front view of a bust of painted mini. A bearded man with a snarling expression, wearing a purple cloak, holding a long sword in his right hand and casting a spell with his left. There is a blue spell effect leaving his hand. He is covered by five spiders. He is lit by general ambient light and a green light on his right.

Seems all I can do are short sessions. I refined the #nonmetallicmetal #nmm of the armor & scythe, edge highlighted bits of the scythe, and glazed the #armor. #WIP of 2 of 4 #skeletons from the #HeroQuest board game.
#skeleton #dnd #minipainting #nerdlings #art #golden #soflat #vallejo #xpresscolor
Pictured are two of four skeleton miniatures from the HeroQuest board game. Wveryhting is painted except for the scale mail in the crotch and the bases. Front view. The leathers were painted with a layering of Golden SoFlat paints, burnt umber, burnt sienna, mars yellow deep, Naples yellow deep, and then a dot of titan buff here and there. The first skeleton is painted with a sketch and blend technique, matching darker colors to the shadows and brighter ones to the highlights. The colors used were Golden SoFlat raw umber, Kimera oxide brown light, and SoFlat titan buff. They were mixed to create the blends. The kilt was painted with all SoFlats, crimson, layered with cadmium red dark, pyrrole red, and cadmium red light then glazed with Phthalo Green. The armor and scythe blade were painted mostly with Kimera white, iron hue, silver gray, and carbon black. A thin glaze of Golden SoFlat phthalo blue was applied on the armor and scythe blade. The second skeleton was painted with SoFlat titan buff and then a wash of Vallejo sepia wash. Some highlights were painted over that. The kilt was painted with all SoFlats, phthalo blue (green shade), cobalt blue, cerulean blue hue, and medium phthalo blue, glazed with Kimera orange. The armor and scythe were painted the same as the skeleton above. The glaze over the armor was Golden high flow acrylic transparent red iron oxide to get an orange-y rust color. The scythe was glazed with blue like the skeleton above. Pictured are two of four skeleton miniatures from the HeroQuest board game.

Nine different pictures stitched into one of some of the stuff I painted this year. All items are miniatures at about the 28 mm scale, except for the winged Valkyrie which is 75 mm and the mind flayer/illithid, which is paperback sized (a “book nook”).

#Wizard from #HeroQuest board game. Wanted to try #slapchop. Did a black prime, zenithal of white ink, then used #Createx transparent paints. Only took about 2 hours. Great job for 2 hours, but I’m not impressed overall. Investing 2-3x more time leads to a result I’m happier with. #miniaturepainting
The Wizard from the board game Hero Quest. Painted with a green tunic, burgundy inner cloak, grey pants, dark brown boots, orange accessories like belt, headband, and cloak clasp. He’s holding a light brown staff with a vine curving around it and a yellow crescent moon on top. Front view. The Wizard from the board game Hero Quest.

Perhaps super boring, but when unsure which metallics and which paints to mix, test it out. The two silvers are #Molotow silver and #Vallejo silver. The paints are mostly #Golden #SoFlat Payne’s grey and Pyrrole red, #Createx transparent brite red, #DalerRowney flame red #ink, and Vallejo red ink.
