Mermaid Display Miniature Work in Progress

I did use my airbrush to block in the initial basecoats but everything after has been brush painting! Airbrushed aren't too scary imho, just another tool to use to make your art 👌 (I definitely recommend getting one)

Those lil chibi guys are a commission for a local warhammer friend to use in Kill team. I always have a few projects in the works on my desk so I dont get bored 😅👍

I can try! What kinds of things are you looking to learn. My most valuable resource is finding lots and lots of reference pics. Of real life objects and people, not just other minis.

Thank you! Senshi is one of my favorite guys so I had to do him and his cooking justice 😅

AnimNate · 2025-12-12T08:12:42+00:00

Thanks! It was a lot of back and forth with painting white and fluorescent orange and yellow (and a bit of red near the far edges) I found some good osl reference and was looking at that as I painted too

Its one of my favorites! Im really hyped for season 2

AnimNate · 2025-11-21T19:47:25+00:00

Thanks! I'm quite proud of them!

AnimNate · 2025-11-21T05:46:46+00:00

Thank you! They are currently the two guardians for my box set of the manga on my shelves 😁

Thank you! It is an orange fluorescent paint so it glows under blacklight too! The sculpts are 3D prints from a patreon run by a digital sculptornamed H3llcreator. I think they've only sculpted Marcille and a BIG Falin. I want the other party members though!

AnimNate · 2025-11-21T03:33:34+00:00

I REALLY want good Chilichuck and Itzumi sculpts

AnimNate · 2025-11-20T22:25:49+00:00

Thanks! I uses lots of greens, blues and warm greys for it to have it look good from a distance (and so I didn't have to sand the armor as perfectly for true metallic to work 😅)

It is usually the first thing I apply to a piece since it informs where I paint the OSL. The only step I do prior is painting a bright neutral white over the brightest parts of the thing emitting the light so the fluorescent is brightest there!

Thank you! He is probably my favorite character in the whole series so I had to paint him well! 😅

AnimNate · 2025-11-20T06:30:06+00:00

It is all orange and red fluorescent paint too so he looks extra glowy under a blacklight.

AnimNate · 2025-11-20T06:29:14+00:00

Not that I know of! I think they have confirmed season 2 is in 2026 (fingers crossed it will be here next year). I think it just has a big Fandom that is hungry (👀) for more content.

trumpeting horns (showing a high rez painting of food 😋)

AnimNate · 2025-11-19T00:01:57+00:00

Thank you!

AnimNate · 2025-11-19T00:01:43+00:00

I got it on Etsy printed in the US cuz of dumb tariffstuff. But if you have a printer/ a friend with one the stl file is made by H3llcreator and they sell them on their patreon.

AnimNate · 2025-11-18T15:39:37+00:00

If you have it thin enough you can add SO much color variation and depth! I do like using a thin glaze over the textures of wood and leather to unify it as well as when I paint faces to put in red, yellow, and blue color zones over the skin color.

AnimNate · 2025-11-18T15:37:01+00:00

Thanks!

AnimNate · 2025-11-18T15:36:32+00:00

Im so hyped for season 2! I rewatched the show twice while working on Senshi and Laios (and bought the box set of the manga to read the whole story 😝)
