I'm Holidaying At The Beach, So Of Course I Painted Something In A Snowy Theme XD.

I'm holidaying at the beach, so of course I painted something in a snowy theme XD.

Pretty happy with this result! Probably could be a little cleaner in spots, but for a one day paint job I'm not complaining.

In particular the icy base turned out way better than I expected.

Big thanks to @dropattackbear for sharing his paints when I forgot to pack my metallics XD.

This model is Skadi the Barbarian by Twin Goddess Miniatures

Another print that's been in my backlog for far too long, is now on my shelf!

I printed this, I think a year ago? And I've been really excited to paint it the whole time, but just never got around to it.

I am really happy with how it turned out though, especially the base! Funnily enough, I hadn't even considered the base at all until I'd finished painting the model, and I wanted to have something a bit more interesting than just a plain base. I'm pretty happy with what I came up with! I little bit of messing around in blender to get the bamboo too look cut was well worth it!

I also originally thought I'd try learning non-mettalic metal on the sword, only to start and realise that trying to do it for my first time on such a large, flat surface was maybe not the best plan XD. Its still something I want to figure out at some point, but maybe on something a bit less intense.

I did have some minor printing issues with the bottom section of the base, and I'm just now seeing in that first picture how poor my attempt at smoothing that out with green stuff went. I promise it doesn't look that noticeable on the shelf XD.

This model is Samurai - Professionally pre-supported! by Greg Kourakos on My Mini Factory.

Another figure down from my pile of shame!

Never really watched Hellboy, but he looks really cool, so now he's on my shelf :D

Also, he was an excuse to try and get a process for leather down, which I've been playing with for a bit. I really like how it turned out, though I could definitely work on making it a bit smoother.

This model is Hellboy - 30 CM model by Printed Obsession.

Public holiday means a chance to paint something from the backlog!

Pretty happy with how this turned out for something I didn't really have a plan for when I started. I had no clue what colour I was doing for the hair until I mixed up a pink by accident and just rolled with it.

Putting the rust effect on the sword was lots of fun, it's such a cool texture.

This mini is Ninjix Crazy Paladin from Miniatures Blueprint.

Latest project, this big dragonborn guy.

I took the opportunity to do that classic red scales/yellow underbelly dragon scheme since I realised I've never actually painted a dragon(-like creature) that way yet. I struggled with getting that yellow tone right, but I'm happy with where it ended up in the end.

The original print is supposed to have two horns, but I had a misprint, that fortunately was easy enough to just lean into. I like the asymmetrical look it ended up with, so call it a bit of good fortune.

This mini is Gunnonth The Life Taker from Miniatures Blueprint.

Painted up a knight... somewhat recently, then took a while longer to figure out how to paint her base. Really happy with how the marble on that one turned out though.

I originally intended to use this figure to try and learn non-metallic metal, but after a couple of tries I decided, actually, I value my time XD

Honestly, I'm really very happy with how it looks with regular metallic paint anyway, nice and shiny.

I'm also glad I took my time with the base until trying out a technique for marble with some dried-out wet wipes and the airbrush. Definitely going to see if I can find more excuses to use that in the future.

This figure is Knight 05 by Galaad. (scaled up by an amount I forget for this print).
