Meet Atcoatl, my Tortle Sea Druid for an upcoming Tomb of Annihilation campaign.

Meet Seraphel Vane and Lumen, his pseudodragon familiar. He's a Paladin 1 / Celestial Warlock X for an upcoming Tomb of Annihilation campaign.

One of my patrons did a phenomenal job 3D printing and painting my Balor mini :)

I'm getting a nice "You shall not pass" vibes from this fella hehe

Spent too much time on this, first mini

Here is Glug, a Bugbear Barbarian one of my patrons requested I make for them. He's a kind hearted barbarian who loves bunnies and I think I did alright making this this week. I modeled this in Blender, then printed it in resin. I used Citadel paints to paint him, used a Citadel shade, and after the highlights I used a Matte Gloss to get rid of the shine.

Oh and if you're curious about my Patreon I offer my patrons access to all my 7000+ presupported TTRPG models in one place, along with commercial options, a discord, and requests board. The drives have all the same models that are already out there for free in the internet. Its more for convenience rather than exclusivity.

Stay awesome friends and keep on crafting!

I started painting mini's for my D&D campaigns a while ago. Decided to go for the Slap Chop method first, as that seemed like the easiest and quickest way to get going.
I bought a big box of Wildspire mini's to get started. They include several of the same models, so it's easy to experiment and compare. The thief on the left is one of my first attempts from a couple of weeks ago. The one on the right is what I did yesterday.

Any pointers or tips for me? I might want to branch out into normal painting techniques at some point, but the Slap Chop / Speedpaint thing is working great for now, I think.

Bonus pic is a Ghoul that I've turned into a Nothic using Green Stuff, thanks to a Redditor in a different thread.

Hi guys

My last project Is almost done

Im proud of It but not at all...some opinions?

A few days ago I posted a question post wondering what type my miniature was.

I got so many helpful tips and wonderful words of encouragement that I wanted to share the result of my hard work. Lovely that so many people encourage you into a new hobby!

I am not new to painting but I am new to painting miniatures. I know one instance is not enough to become better, so I will probably purchase a relatively cheap series of miniatures in a box so I can have some mileage to improve with. Will report back when I got a lot better.

Especially the face is not that good, and since I was going for more cell-shading type of paintjob, I think the cloth and the legs especially worked out really well.

My daughter gave this to me for Father’s Day, at the start of a new campaign. I used spray paint as a primer and left over acrylic pots from a paint by numbers kit.

I did watch a really good tutorial, so I had some idea of shading and dry brush techniques.

Need a lacquer to finish it. Is it better to go matte?

I’ve been trying to tackle this not so miniature mini for a D&D boss. I was aiming for the 60/30/10 ratio with my colors but I’m really struggling with the massive amount of stretched, leathery scales on this beast.

This is the second attempt I’ve made and I settled on a dull, blue grey. However, I’m struggling to maintain a good contrast with the turquoise and the mauve colors.

I did go over it with a light grey dry brush after attempting to build up some light grey highlights

I’m leaning towards a grey base coat and starting over. I kinda feel stuck with this one and I haven’t found a result I’m happy with.
