@evilhat.bsky.social: So, random question -- are there official PDF copies available for the various MotW books I've picked up? I seem to vaguely remember mention of such a thing, but thought it required a receipt that I didn't keep.

Did the brass after adding a bit more dark accents to the copper that's reflecting below the horizon line. Or something like that, anyway. 😁

After today's efforts - several hours total duration, but much of that was waiting for the paint to dry. 🤣
The photos look better than the actual figure, I think. 🤔🤷🏻

Not done with the darkest browns yet, but made some progress.

Initial spray of Heavy Red (not Burnt Red, my bad), overall. Followed by a 50/50 mix of Heavy Red and Orange Red in a somewhat zenithal fashion.
Next steps will be to brush on the darkest tones for the brass and steel areas.

For the steel of the sword, and maybe some other random bits, I have a lot of gray options:
• Black gray
• Dark and medium gray
• Gray blue and glacier blue

For the brass:

• Lemon yellow for the mid-tones; and
• Pale yellow for the highlights, maybe some white here and there too.

So far, my thoughts for the copper color range is:
• Hull red overall;
• Burnt red as a zenithal color;
• Orange red and bright orange for the main copper colors and darker highlights; and
• Lemon yellow mixes with those oranges for the brighter highlights.

One last #miniature work-in-progress thread: a "Fae Cat" from #HeroForge, whatever a Fae Cat is. 🤣
Minor tweaks done in the model design included opening the mouth as much as possible, and some rocks on the base.

Yet another #miniature work-in-progress thread. #HeroForge flesh golem, from one of their collections, custom base again. Looking forward to figuring out how to mix several flesh tones, since this guy is assembled from several different bodies.

Another #miniature work-in-progress thread. This is a #HeroForge zombie from one of their collections, on one of my own bases. I'm hoping to make the base some kind of squishy swamp-mud kind of thing.

Starting another #miniature work-in-progress thread. This is a re-do of Bart, a kobold character I played in a #FantasyHero campaign many years back. I'd painted him before, but he fell off his perch and got stepped on. 😐
