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.

Another short session, could only work on the #nonmetallicmetal #nmm of the #armor (painted using only greys like classic canvas painters did). #WIP of the first of four #skeletons from the #HeroQuest board game.

Pictured is one of the four skeleton miniatures from the HeroQuest board game, front view. All but fur lining for the leather leg wraps and gauntlets, and bases are unpainted. The armor was painted with nonmetallic metal, using entirely greys from SoFlat Titanium white and SoFlat black. A thin glaze of SoFlat phthalo blue (green shade) was applied over the armor and then occasional dots of SoFlat pale yellow. 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.

Just finished Captain America off, I've done my first attempt at non-metalic metal on his shield. What you think? I brought Talisman the other week so might try and do all the weapons like it

Just been carrying on with the platforms nmm surfaces - which there's quite a lot of! 😂

I spent most of yesterdays stream on the bottom blue/purple nmm surfaces.

#figurepainting #kimeramodels #minipainting #nmm #kimera #scalemodel #miniature #nonmetallicmetal
This 3-Image collage shows different angles of the same sci-fi chariots platform on a round black plinth. It is a work-in-progress shot of the paintjob so far, painted in different NMM metals (one blue-purple metal, the other shiny brass) somewhat sketched in and somewhat refined, as well as star/galaxy theme on the wheels. The sci-fi chariot is part of the 'Apollon God of Sun' kit and project, and produced by Kimera Models. The image was taken in front of neutral grey background and has my icon in the bottom left corner on low opacity settings.

It's refinement time for these machanical parts of the chariot.

More shiny 'saddle-surface' nmm!
(there's no way the amount of those isn't a practical pun by the sculptor! 🤣)

Frontal close-up of the center part of the chariots axle detail which will be connecting the horses and platform of the sci-fi chariot for 'Apollon God of Sun', my current commission project. The larger surfaces are painted in brass nmm and the deeper set more "functional seeming" are in a type of slightly purple-ish blue nmm. It is photographed in front of grey fabric background and placed on two black plinths. The image also shows the cryocheese icon on very low opacity in the bottom left corner.

Here is my very first ever attempt of NMM with the abomination’s spearhead. I then put a semi opaque silver over it & it seems to have the best of both worlds. #nmm #tmm #truemetallicmetal #nonmetallicmetal #miniature #minis #heroquest #abomination #rpg #minipainting #art #grisaille #underpainting
Closeup of the spearhead of a sea monster, the abomination from the HeroQuest board game. The spearhead is painted with just black, white, and grey paint for a nonmetallic metal effect. Closeup of the spearhead of a sea monster, the abomination from the HeroQuest board game. The spearhead is painted with an undercoat of just black, white, and grey paint with an overcoat of silver (semi-opaque) from Golden’s high flow acrylics. This gives a true metallic metal effect, where the undercoat is still visible to give the appropriate shading and highlighting for the metallic spearhead.

Work in progress!

Trying for the first time the NMM technique with a variety of results, from "total crap" in the staff to "acceptable" (I hope) in the crown.

Every input is welcome, painters!
