Storm Sorcerer - Tumblr Posts
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.

Later renamed to Ze'hir and become a completely different character cuz i changed his design too many times but the original still held potential.
My sweet girl Audra 💜 Finished BG3 a couple of times and wanted to feel its atmosphere again, so now it's time to draw!
