Gooseofthevoid - A Goose Paints Minis

Just finished up painting this mini for @yoshikagequeen's character, Sunlil! She's an Air Genasi storm sorcerer, in a game we're both in. My character in that game is the Barbarian Mars, which you can check out here.

This is actually the second time I've painted this mini, the first one was done on my FDM printer, so I couldn't do the swirling air currents around the body, and it ended up being too fragile and breaking apart. (I glued the foot to the base paint on paint, which sure didn't help).

Now that I have a resin printer though, I can do cool minis like this. I printed the air currents and base in transparent resin, and tinted it with a little alchohol ink, which is an effect I'm in love with, and will definitly play with for any future spell effects I need.

I've also pinned sunlil to the base with a piece of wire into the foot, so it should be a lot stronger of a bond.

In terms of painting, I'm pretty happy with how this mini turned out. I like the colours on her outfit and the gradient in the hair. Skin continues to be a bit difficult for me, particularly a tone I'm not particularly used too, but I think it turned out ok. This is also the favourite eye I've done yet, I tend to lean towards painting the pupil/iris too small, and having it look a bit derpy. It sure helps that the other eye is hidden by hair, so I don't have to worry about matching the direction the eyes are looking in.

Overall, I'm looking forward to seeing this mini in play on the table :)

This mini is Ellie the Genasi Mage (Air), by Twin Goddess Miniatures.

New mini!

This is Atropos, a half elf (?) bard, painted for Yoshikagequeens' character in an upcoming campaign! Atropos will be in the same party as Frix! I'm looking forward to it.

I'm weirdly chuffed with my choice of dark red for his pants, and I think the highlights along the creases look really good. I also got the opportunity to finally properly use some of the colour shift paint I got like half a year ago, to put some glitter in his hair, so that's neat. I put the colour shift just in the parts and underside of his hair, to kind of make it looks like some sort of underlayer shining through. I really like the effect in person, seeing the glitter shift as you move your viewpoint is quite cool! Photos don't really do it justice.

My least favourite bit of this mini is the base. I shoved a generic column into a generic base, rather than using the desk base that comes with the stl for this mini. I wanted to push the character more into bard territory, rather than the professor character it's originally meant to be. I think it works for that, and I like the column he's leaning on, but the ground of the base is just a bit too plain. I put some cracks in it with an Exacto blade and added some cut up grass tufts to give it a bit of texture, but it's still not quite right. In the end, I just had to stop fiddling with it before I made it worse.

It's a learning experience to remember next time I try and make a custom base though, gotta remember to have texture or something on there.

The mini used here is Professor Syiva, by Twin Goddess Miniatures.

The column used on the base is Socket Pillar, by Phillip Meys.

I was playing with a cheap necklace I got off wish a while back, and managed to break this starry cabachon off it (I threw it into a fan on accident, no further questions).

I thought it was a cool little piece, so I went ahead and put together a wizardy table for it in fusion360, printed it out, slapped some paint on it, and here it is! Just a quick little scatter piece. I guess the ruined portal from my last post has me in a wizardy mood.

I like using fusion360, I'm still fairly inexperienced with it, but that just means I can learn new things each time! This time I figured out how to use the sweep tool to create the swoopy tubes running up the sides of the table.

Also pictured, Edwin, my sorcerer PC from a Curse of Strahd game I'm in! He was the most wizardly character I had on my shelf. I should fix that at some point.

If you want to get the file for this, you can find it here.

While I'm posting things, I just painted this neat little ruined portal terrain piece! Just a real simple paintjob on this one, took me about an hour total, including waiting for paint to dry.

I had fun freehanding the little runes, and I really enjoy how the metallic paint lets the blend in most of the time, and show really strongly if the light is just right.

I did end up only putting them on one side of the portal. Because uh... it shows which side of the portal you're meant to stand on... yeah... not at all because my hand was getting tired, and i was starting to run out of ideas for runes.

Hey look, I finally got around to making a tumblr account (/finding I already had an old one I’d never used), and I finished off painting my blue dragon (aside from the base)!

Clearly the universe is telling me to start sharing my painted minis.

As promised, the finished Octopus, waves all dried and painted. Those bubbles are definitely in the way, but you can still make out theres an octopus in there, so its not a complete loss :).

Different angles, and next to one of my sharks. Tried doing the waves slightly different for the octopus, but I think I prefer the ones on the shark in the end. Oh well, still looks pretty nifty anyway :)
