Much happier with this one but it still doesn't have the orangey vibe I want. This was based in Khaki, drybrushed with Bonewhite and washed with Seraphim Sepia. Then drybrushed again

I used a thinner primer to show detail. Also tried making a dune effect but it kinda looks like mud to me lol

Bat swarms 🦇

I just finished up bats for my Moria army.

What's the right amount of them in the army and what to pair them with? 🙂

Any recommendations?

Spent a lot of hours on this guy!

Just finished painting this BIG MEK for a small competition. I’m a little bit proud of it. Hope you like it too.

Still making progress on the flower dragon, wings and tail are still WIP

I finally attached the head to the flower dragon body. Does anyone have tips on mini photography? (Especially the big bois.)

Pure fun to paint this lad

Huron Blackheart from Red Corsair.

Honestly I was aiming to paint something that was anything but grim dark. Dunno but gives me Akira vibes 😅

Thoughts and advice on the sword

Pretty much what title said. I am working on this big fella and have been working on his sword for several hours without any progress. Asking here for tips on what colour the sword and faces should be, any other comments and thoughts about the mini are welcome too.

Gretchin Target Practice.

Just a little fun piece that I admittedly spent too much time on, for some spare practice Gretchin.
22nd mini completed on this journey.

What is causing this look? It’s like a bubble popped

Hey all! New painter here seeking some feedback. When I started painting this mini today, I noticed there was an effect like a bubble, or something bursted while the layer was settling. Anyone have an idea it could be?

I did a few things differently today, so maybe that’s the difference.

- I used a larger brush to cover more area
- Tried Vallejo paints versus army painter (I don’t think it is this)
- The model is resin printed. I did give it a good wash before priming it.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Jahzara Deaspiritus Wishmaker from Middara

Fluorescents are some of my favorite things to use, and I'm always happy when I get to use them their maximum effect!

Tyranid Screamer Killer 40K

Screamer Killer painted in timpaintsminis Hive Fleet Trauma scheme. Not sure whether black or white backgrounds are bette for pictures, think the lighting or exposure on white blows things out a bit.

Most pleased with the veins added on the head. Hopefully managed to keep them realistic and subtle. Wonder if I should've done the whole mini with veins across skin?

Struggled to get a good angle with the arms, looks a bit clumsy from behind. But what do you think?
