❤️ 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.

Got another session in with the #InfernalDemonLord by #DenofImagination. (WIP) corrected some mistakes, refined the dwarf, worked on #truemetallicmetal, started on on the tabard. #dnd #d&d #miniaturepainting #minipainting #rpgs #art #miniature #tmm #dungeonsanddragons #demon #devil #wings #WIP
A red demonic humanoid is holding the upper half of a dwarf’s body and staring into his eyes. The dwarf is armored and wearing a green cloak. Used true metallic metal, so for example, the buckle the demon is wearing g is gold, but in some planes it was paint silver because the way the light would catch on it.

#Painting for a #CarWars #campaign. Finished this bad boy in two quick sessions. My buddy wanted it painted like the car #RacerX drove (from #SpeedRacer if you didn’t know!). #Molotow #One4All #goldensoflat #soflat #stevejacksongames #wip #golden #highflowacrylics #art #hotwheels #matchboxcar
A yellow sports car for the Car Wars game. It is lightly armed with two sets of light machine guns and a heavy howitzer-like gun on the roof, which is the most powerful gun in the game. There are a set of menacing looking eyes painted in the front bumper. Front view. A yellow sports car for the Car Wars game.

My friend wanted his car for #CarWars painted as a grungy #BattlestarGalactica #ColonialViper. Done.
A grungy grey car with an orange stripe on top and on the sides. Has two rocket launchers and two belt fed heavy machine guns mounted on it. The wheels are large for its side with armored plates protecting them. Front (US) passenger side view. A grungy grey car with an orange stripe on top and on the sides.

Painted 2 cars for a #CarWars #campaign. Strange not to paint #minis but fun and instructional nonetheless! See alt text for paint info. #Molotow #One4All #goldensoflat #soflat #stevejacksongames #wip #golden #highflowacrylics #art #hotwheels #matchboxcar
A miniature muscle car from the Car Wars game painted with a metallic dark blue and flames on the hood and roof. The car sports lots of exhaust pipes, two pairs of black painted laser guns, a pair of black painted heavy machine guns, and what looks like either four launching ports or exhaust ports in the back. The engine sticks up above the hood and appears to be a v8. Front view from above. Fourth session: mostly just touch ups and error correction. Third session: refined the flames and guns (add SoFlat Pale Yellow and Kimera Orange, glazed guns with SoFlat Phthalo Blue Green Shade), painted exhausts and hubcaps with Molotow silver (One4All refill), painted engine with Vallejo gunmetal mixed with Daler Rowney Black Ink. Grill was Molotow silver mixed with the Phthalo Blue or Golden High Flow Acrylic Prussian Blue. Just the windshield and perhaps some weathering left! This second session: painted the tires and guns with a mix of Golden So Flat black and white. Blocked in the colors for flames on the hood and roof, no blending done yet but obviously still needed. Used Golden SoFlat pyrrole red, cadmium orange, and permanent yellow deep. First session: Though I experimented a bit with Molotow paints, the airbrush, and a gradient like the other car in this post, I eventually painted it entirely with Molotow silver, which is incredible. It’s got tiny mica flakes, is super bright, runs through an airbrush like a dream, and cleans easily from the airbrush. On top of that I applied a Golden high flow acrylic Prussian blue hue paint, which is transparent and so the car looks like it’s been painted with a metallic dark blue.

Largely painted sports car sporting two mounted missiles and two light guns. There is a gradient from purple at the bottom towards magenta/pink at the top. The missiles are painted from a dark to very light blue. The rack that mounts the gins and missile is paint an aqua colored metallic. The entire palette is reminiscent of synthwave, very Miami Vice in appearance. This photo is a front view from above, taken with black light so the fluorescent pinks and blues glow. Third and final session: painted taillights. Outer lights were painted with Golden SoFlats cadmium red dark towards the bottom and a mix of the same line’s cadmium red light and fluorescent red. The inner lights were painted with Golden SoFlat cadmium red light towards the bottom and cadmium orange towards the top. Emblem on the rear was painted with Molotow One4All (refill) silver. Windshield was a mix of Golden SoFlat cerulean blue hue and a dark gray made of SoFlat black and white, then medium phthalo blue mixed into it until finally it was white with a touch of the medium phthalo blue. The guns were layered with shades of grey and then were glazed with thin filter of SoFlat phthalo blue. Edge highlighted selected areas with white and then SoFlat fluorescent pink on it. Second session: repainted the whole thing with Golden SoFlat dioxazine violet deep, then their blue violet, red violet, quinacridone magenta, then naphthol pink, and finally fluorescent pink. The missile and gun rack was Molotow One4All silver mixed with Daler Rowney marine blue ink. Missiles were Golden SoFlat Payne’s gray, then their blue violet, cerulean blue, and cobalt teal. Them applied some white with Golden High Flow Acrylic fluorescent blue on top of that. Still need to do the windshield, tires, hubcaps, tail lights, and guns. First session: airbrushed a gradient of Molotow One4All purple violet, then their purple, true blue, and shock blue middle. Then from above, Golden High Flow Acrylic teal.

There are four pictures here, each from a different angle of the car. See the other picture of the car for specific paints and colors used.

Some of this stuff is posted on my page, but the #Bullywug isn’t. The Bullywug is the third mini I painted after my hobby hibernation. I’ve posted the water #wizard who was the fifth mini I painted after the hibernation, and I’ve posted many WIPs of the #Valkyrie and #abominations.

You see pictured here a #Valkyrie from #TheChoice from #Scale75 (from before their shenanigans were known), a water #wizard from #WizKids, a #bullywug, and #abominations from the #HeroQuest board game which includes a #WIP.
Four shots of a winged Valkyrie hovering over the prow of a Viking shipwreck that is crashed on some rocks. There are tumultuous waves that drop into three small waterfalls into a pool. The Valkyrie is wearing a magenta overskirt and skirt, aqua armor, a red gem at her midriff and chest, Carrie’s a spear, and has wings in a blue to green gradient. She is pointing straight ahead at the viewer. A water wizard wearing robes of various shades of blue trimmed in yellow. He stands on a beach and is carrying a staff in one hand and firing a spell that looks like a water fireball from the other. Four shots of three different abominations from the HeroQuest board game. One is blue, one is green, and there is a work in progress that is red. They are the same miniature and they all carry a stylized spear. They were all painted with a limited palette of split primaries, except for the true metallic metal of their armor and spearhead.

On top of that I applied a Golden high flow acrylic Prussian blue hue paint, which is transparent and so the car looks like it’s been painted with a metallic dark blue.

#Painting for a #CarWars #campaign. 2nd session with the dark metallic blue muscle car. Painted guns and tires. Blocked in color, need to blend. Alt text for paint info. #airbrush #Molotow #One4All #goldensoflat #soflat #stevejacksongames #wip #golden #highflowacrylics #art #hotwheels #matchboxcar
A miniature muscle car from the Car Wars game crudely painted with a metallic dark blue. The car sports lots of exhaust pipes, two pairs of black painted laser guns, a pair of black painted heavy machine guns, and what looks like either four launching ports or exhaust ports in the back. The engine sticks up above the hood and appears to be a v8. Front view from the (US) passenger’s side. This second session: painted the tires and guns with a mix of Golden So Flat black and white. Blocked in the colors for flames on the hood and roof, no blending done yet but obviously still needed. Used Golden SoFlat pyrrole red, cadmium orange, and permanent yellow deep.

A miniature sports car from the Car Wars game crudely painted with a gradient from purple at the bottom to a light cyan on top. The car sports two light machine guns and a pair of rocket launchers. Front view from the passenger side of the car. All paints are Molotow unless specified. First a coat of black was applied as a primer, then purple violet was applied as a base coat, then purple, true blue, and then shock blue middle. Then Golden high flow acrylic teal was applied from above. A miniature sports car from the Car Wars game crudely painted with a gradient from purple at the bottom to a light cyan on top.

I’ve posted this many times in many forums so I’ll do so here. You can make a paint transparent by mixing it with medium. Get some #Golden or #Liquitex medium (or any brand) in the finish you want (eg matte or glossy) and mix in a bit of paint. Medium is colorless, pigmentless paint. Enjoy! #art

Prepping for a #CarWars campaign. Primed all 19 cars my buddy has, which I think are all from the base set. Bored barrels, cleaned up a little flash, & then #airbrush primed them with #Molotow #One4All black refill (made for street art, it’s tough and acts as a good primer). #stevejacksongames #wip
Before and after pictures of small cars, about 2.5-3 inches long or about 6-8 cm. Unprimed cars of light grey are shown next to the black primed versions of them. The cars are all variously armored and kitted with various weapons — rifles, lasers, rockets, spikes and so on. In this first session, I drilled the barrels of the rifles and exhausts, washed them in soapy water, and primed them with Molotow One4All acrylic black refill. These paints are made for street art, stick and stay stuck to nearly anything, act as a good primer, and can go in an airbrush without dilution. They’re also super opaque paints, which can be handy sometimes! Before and after pictures of small cars, about 2.5-3 inches long or about 6-8 cm.

Fifth and final session painting Daern’s Instant Fortress (DnD 5e, DMG p. 160) for one of our campaigns (Vecna Is Going Down!). Details on process and paints in the alt text of the photos. #dnd #instantfortress #daernsinstantfortress #terrain #art #dungeonsanddragons
An FDM printed four story classic castle tower. Four photos pictured here of the tower exterior. Fifth and final session: painted door pulls, shackles, and chains, with Golden SoFlat black and then highlighted with Vallejo Game Color Gunmetal mixed with some Daler Rowney black ink. Fourth session: dry brushed a light tan then a white. Then applied a black wash where there should be shadows and a sepia wash everywhere else. Only details such a shackles, chains, and other minor details as remain. Third session: applied Liquitex Basics Acrylics neutral gray 5 to foundational, support, and random stones. Painted random stones different colors: Liquitex Basics Acrylics Payne’s gray, burnt umber, raw umber; Liquitex Basics Acrylic Fluid unbleached titanium; and DecoArt Americana cinnamon stick, fawn, and spiced pumpkin. (Can’t use the good stuff for terrain!) Second session: mixed some paints to make a tan, which was thinned with water to be semi-transparent (mixed Liquitex Basics Acrylics: titanium white, Payne’s gray, burnt sienna, and raw sienna). Painted the exterior wood rafters and the top of the entrance to the tower. First session: it was rattle can primed black and pictured here is a zenithal highlight of airbrushed Daler Rowney FW Ink white. The wood was airbrushed Createx Transparent Dark Brown. It was then airbrushed lightly with the white ink and then airbrushed Createx Light Brown. Finally a wash of Liquitex Basics Acrylic Burnt Umber was applied. In hindsight, I could have simply applied the light brown on top of the zenithal and then applied the wash.

The second level shows a nobleman confronting an illithid (mind flayer). The first level shows two goblins and an orc.
