Frost Giant Harshnag from #stormkingsthunder was too big for my picture space! Man, this mini just about killed me. This is by far the largest, most detailed mini I’ve worked on, and it shows. He was about a week of work (~14 hours) and was my first attempt at really shading skin the way it deserves to be shaded. Very proud of how he turned out, although I would love to have worked on his leather armor more. Adding that to my list of things to learn. Shoutout to @doctorfaustspaintingclinic and @realmsmithtv for their incredibly useful tutorials. Progress picture at the end - I will try to include these as much as I can going forward :)

Spirit Beast from #reaperminiatures Bones Black. I love the style of this mini, and it ended up being a very simple paint job. Basecoat of a dark green with a heavy, brighter green drybrush and then a light highlight of what looked in the bottle like tennis ball green. Really fun to paint and to assemble! (The mini came in six pieces). ⠀

The other half of my Half Orc barbarian duo. Tried out a new style on the eyes, and worked on highlights. I have to admit, when I first got into minis, I loved the Wizkids humanoids. Now that I’m painting them, I really struggle compared to Reaper. The “cartoonish” features of reaper really make the details stand out when painting. Wizkids gets muddy, especially around the eyes and very small details. Maybe that’s just my inexperience?⠀

Goliath Barbarian! This was a study in skin tone shading and inks, trying to create crisp outlines between each color and be unafraid to really go heavy on washes. I think I’ve been really light on them in the past, afraid of getting tide marks, but it worked here. Forgive the #cat hair; I don’t think that’s a problem I can ever fully solve. ⠀
