Hi, I'm Tiki! He/Him

When not streaming (usually) cartoony games on Twitch, or painting up some mini, I'm sharing a lot of art, especially art made by friends! Such as:

@citricking.bsky.social who did my pfp, and
@ezzelin.bsky.social who did my banner!
Been busy for the past several days, but I've been meaning to share these October Patreon goodies I got from @nutcaseart.bsky.social!

Sorry for disappearing for a couple weeks now! Things have been okay, just a lot of adjustments I've been having to make lately, but overall good things.

Speaking of good things, these @nutcaseart.bsky.social Patreon goodies arrived for me during that time!

FINALLY, another #minis post! Between difficulties I had with this guy, and stuff popping up in life, this took me far longer to get out than I wanted, but here it is, my zombie Commando from #Battletech!

I really hope Bluesky implements a damn spoiler content tag someday, heh.

I got more cute stuff from @nutcaseart.bsky.social's Patreon yesterday, so as is tradition, sharing how cute it is here (with my okay camera skills, haha)!

Whoops, been a busy time adjusting to a new schedule, I forgot to share these cute @nutcaseart.bsky.social Patreon goodies I got last week!

I've had a pretty hectic month or so, so didn't get around to opening the April goodies from @nutcaseart.bsky.social 's Patreon until my birthday a few days ago, which made the day better! I also just got in the May goodies, so this day has improved too!

Here's the whole team on that display stand I shared! While there's still the basing, it's really cool to see this, the first minis I got (via Kickstarter in late 2022) to paint and get into the hobby, all done and lined up together!

Sharing this paint job that was a complete accident that I ended up liking, haha. It's just a cheap display stand from Daiso that I applied magnetic primer to, then tried to brush on a spray primer, because the can was faulty. Didn't go as hoped, but ended up looking like a rich, red wood!

I didn't think it has yet fully set in that with this hungry, li'l lady done that I have finished painting the halfling team. While I now have the basing to do, which I've very little experience with, this still feels really good!

This one probably has my best speed paint layer yet! And yeah, once I noticed she had carrots attached like the Stab Sisters' silverware, I learned into it a bit. They may just be carrots, but she had a go-getter attitude (as evidenced by all the red)!

*Me last night after a couple hours playing around with and learning the OPR Army Forge after being inspired by the Abhumans stuff.*

"Yeah, that looks good for this unit's options, let's call it a night for now."

*Sees this.*

"Well, what's one more?"

Here we have the last of my touch-ups, the opossum catcher that @twistykitty.bsky.social helped me with! This one needed it perhaps the least, but I still wanted to brighten it up, esp since I only have the minis (and the hobby) 'cause of Twisty's encouragement!

Now that I've touched up the one @montyglu.bsky.social picked colors for, all my completed halfling minis will have tags, heh!

I got another chance at that damned turkey's eyes, and also corrected a mistake where I painted some belly folds black. Oops!

The halfling I painted with colors chosen by @fringetype.bsky.social was the last one I did before changing how I take these photos. I hope the way I do minis AND photos are better now, haha. And hey, now I can share this with this good lad's updated alias!

Looking back this was the last one I did before I somehow unlocked any sort of proper highlighting skills. Honestly, most of the touching up was on her mouth and right eye, and given how she looks, she very appropriately fought me the whole time!

Oh man, I forgot that the first halfling I ever did was the one @chehalem.bsky.social picked colors for! Well, as I close in on all the touch-ups for this set, here she is again, looking even better, I think!

It's always nice to open the mailbox and see cute goodies from @nutcaseart.bsky.social 's Patreon inside, like what happened today!
March 28, 2025 at 12:12 AM
Gettingmomentum back finally! While I had to get rust off with the other two I posted this week touched up, the chef was a lot smoother going. In retrospect, I recall having trouble with her, so a lesson that is in struggling, I can always just come back later!

Everyone I was touching this one up I could really tell I was getting to the point that I was ready to be since with the sideline tokens and ready to move into the players, haha. I think I finally made the patient's eye look pretty good too!

Had I known how busy I'd be the past few weeks, I would have spaced out all my mini touch-up posts instead of dumping them like I did, haha.

That said: back at it!

Trying to get better at lightening my dark-skinned minis to be more readable, but still dark.

I printed n' painted this as a surprise for my client, after asking them what designs and colors he liked. Actually working with them on trying painting to help out his ASD. Even if it doesn't work they're still happy with this HDF OGRE robot from #onepagerules.

Last one for the day! The only human from the halfling set, and also one of those I had a friend pick colors for. Getting a close look at her next to my current ones was one of the big motivations for doing this.

Also nice to actually tag my oldest minis posts!

I forgot this guy was the first one I ever used Speed Paints on! He was actually one of the minis most in need of another paint pass too. Not that I think he looked that bad, but because he had fallen and broken his ankles a time or two (fitting, really).

I don't think this one needed too much touching up either, but he is at least a bit brighter with more contrast. The biggest thing, it seems I've gotten better at not making squirrels gray blobs. Added some blush to this lush too!
