I designed a very simple and easy to make overhead phone mount from cardboard, that you can use to play Magic or other games over Discord, Zoom, etc. The plan is in the second picture. You’ll have to setup your phone’s camera as a webcam using an app like Iriun Webcam or IP Webcam. I hope this will help people play games more easily while in lock-down!

Hakon, Iconic Skald. Picked this up at my local game store and painted it with only minor waiting time sitting on my hobby table. He was a fun paint! Really focused on the shadows and refining the lines between each thing on the mini with shades and highlights. As always, progress pictures at the end.

A couple of wild boar for my campaign, settled nicely on my first fully independent bases from my last post.

Three pretty solid days of effort went into this Dragonborn, and he was worth every second. Model is Tazythas, Dragonfolk Rogue by @reaperminiatures. I like to find references for the stuff I paint, just to know what the little baubles are and how other people paint them, but there was not a single one out there for this guy. I picked him up as a new release from my local game store a few weeks ago (although I think he’s from Bones IV?) and was really intimidated to begin. He luckily came in a lot of pieces; his head, wings, tail, and arms were all not part of the body, which was great. I can’t imagine painting all his little crevices with the model glued together. He actually came with a bunch of options for his arms, everything from meat to double swords and a tankard. Pretty cool mini! ⠀ ⠀ I didn’t prime this guy because I’ve had a lot of issues lately with my rattle can primer, and hand priming intimidated me with so many details. It worked out though; the factory prime was good on him and I had no issues. In handling him, I had issues rubbing paint off (there were too many pieces to stick on to something else to hold), so I ended up varnishing him four or so times between details. I tried a new process where a gloss varnish is painted on, which when dry makes shades fall only into recesses and not linger on flat surfaces. It worked, but I don’t know how important that was for something this small. I don’t know that I would do it again unless a specific situation arose where it would be useful. Overall though, an extremely fun mini that I’m proud to show off :) As always, progress pictures at the end.

Drow (Dark) Elf Priestess, the third and final of my Drow trio. I enjoyed these three so much; great sculpts, great poses, fun to paint. This Drow was approached like the other two, with the exception that I received my magnifying lamp in the mail about 75% of the way through this one. Game changer! I can’t wait to crisp things up going forward :)⠀ ⠀ As always, progress pictures at the end.

Drow (Dark) Elf Warrior, part 2 of 3 of my Drow trio. Worked on #milliput and shading on the cloak, bringing the red out to the vibrant shade I wanted. I did the face and bases for this mini and the third one (upcoming) at the same time, which was great because the hardest part of the work was done by the time I moved on.
