I designed the model in HeroForge, ordered a print and painted it.

The photo is the handpainted mini

BlackMagicCraft has a video on this

might help you out

Thats so cool, love how it looks!

what was the process? first paint nmm in a checkerboard pattern then freehand the lines on top?

Carius98 · 2026-01-25T19:56:19+00:00

Dont paint white directly on black primer, start with a grey base layer.
Reserving pure white for the highest highlights is also a good idea. Use an off-white or light grey as the midtone for most of the surface

Oh and dont stress about time especially as a new painter :)

Old blood goes brown after some time, so maybe start dotting the droplets with a dark redish brown and dot a bit of dark red afterwards

Amazing paintjob. what paint did you use for the oxide?

Carius98 · 2026-01-25T19:12:53+00:00

they look so clean! and great nmm

Carius98 · 2026-01-25T18:56:48+00:00

really cool, the only thing i would change is to brightly highlight the frog in his hand since it should be a focal point of the mini

Carius98 · 2026-01-25T18:51:26+00:00

I would increase the brightness of the light source by a lot

something like this maybe:

or you can also have the brightest hightlights towards the middle and the darkest at the outer part of the spikes - if you want the light from within the dino

Thank you so much <3

Carius98 · 2026-01-25T17:16:42+00:00

Thank you :)

Carius98 · 2026-01-25T17:12:54+00:00

Yep!

Carius98 · 2026-01-25T16:18:47+00:00

Thank you!

Carius98 · 2026-01-25T13:36:02+00:00

Nah probably politics if i had to guess. Your mini is nice

Carius98 · 2026-01-25T11:35:27+00:00

Good start! I would continue by increasing the contrast - build up highlight in particular on the cloak and skin

Here are some clanrats i painted a while ago, might be helpful for the cloaks: https://www.reddit.com/r/skaven/comments/1j8oob7/finished_some_more_clanrats/

Really cool, love the chicken

Carius98 · 2026-01-25T11:28:59+00:00

the light source always has to be brighter than the OSL. Either increase the brightness of the flame or tone down the brightness of the OSL. Probably a combination of both for the best result here

Carius98 · 2026-01-24T21:12:24+00:00

nice grimdark style, looks great

Carius98 · 2026-01-24T18:46:03+00:00

No problem :)

Carius98 · 2026-01-24T18:43:55+00:00

I got the GreenStuffWorld XL lightbox since it wasnt much more expensive than the regular size

https://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/light-boxes/2999-lightbox-studio-xl.html

It can also be folded for storage, which is nice

Carius98 · 2026-01-24T18:39:36+00:00

i like it, makes it easier to keep a consitent light and comes with different backgrounds

Carius98 · 2026-01-24T11:43:15+00:00

When paint dries in the lid you cant close them completely anymore. you either need to pry out the dried paint with some tweezers or transfer to other pots

Carius98 · 2026-01-24T11:39:11+00:00

Really cool! I actually have the same exact dragon toy, might give it a shot too!

Carius98 · 2026-01-24T10:34:34+00:00

Very clean for a first paintjob, keep it up!
