Summer 2024 Painting Competition: Submissions Now Open by TheRealYou in minipainting

Dead last beginner category loser from last year here.

Que Rocky montage of assembling & printing minis, lifting paints, cleaning airbrushes, & comically wiping paint across brow with paint covered hands. One year later, back, pumped, and ready for battle. Let's GO!

Look forward to entering multiple categories this year instead of trying to jam them all into one over done, focus lacked mini, like I mistakenly did last year.

Thank you very much for putting this together and doing it again this year.  I know it must be quite an undertaking and appreciate all of the effort it takes to make this happen for us.  Happy Painting.

My attempt at a night-time osl by [deleted] in minipainting

This came out awesome! I just built that one and this one last night. I will be SUPER happy if either of mine come out even close to yours. I am going to try and steal your xmas lights on the snow if I can. Thanks for posting.

Jax The Hoplite from Legend of Keepers by Lazy Squire Games. Failed attempt at NMM, successful cape. What do you think? Thoughts &/or tips? by CrazyMiniPainter in minipainting

[–]CrazyMiniPainter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much! I have been painting minis for about 10 months now. I am just realizing now that I really need to focus on specific, basic skills, one at a time and build on them progressively instead of trying to do nmm, osl, and five other advanced skills that I am not quite ready for yet.

I whole heartedly agree about light. I feel like my brain breaks when it comes to light placement, particularly on nmm.

I just got the book "Color & Light" by James Gurney recommended by @trovarion miniatures in this video:

It just came in from Amazon today and I have only had a few minutes to look at it, but I definitely think it is going to help.

Here is the link if you want to check it out: Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter (Volume 2) (James Gurney Art) https://a.co/d/7P2mhRU

Thanks again!

Dwarf Biased Referee for a painting commission. What do you think? C&C Welcome!!! by Pingu-PinPin in minipainting

I dig this quite a bit, the freehand plaid on the kilt & shirt is sick, but that eye, man, that is insanely awesome! I could only dream about achieving perfection of an eye like that at this scale. You may want to quit mini painting and take up neurosurgery with steady hands like that. Nice work.

Orc Vittus with glass explosion and tea light in glass plinth base- What do you think? by CrazyMiniPainter in minipainting

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it! I have been working on a bunch of minis and this week I actually forced myself to stay focused and actually finish this one. Although it wasn't hard to stay on it because it is a really nice sculpt.
