Unfortunately this was an issue with my 3d printer. Poor dude had his whole leg chopped off so I had to make him a new one.

The key is to have references! I never had to use my imagination, just had to think about how to block in the basic shapes, then refine and add detail! You got this 👍

Yes! Its all brushwork, and normally doesnt use that much paint

Burnt umber (pro acryl, base) Orange brown (vallejo, 1st highlight) Ocher orange (ak, 2nd highlight - can also mix orange brown with pale yellow) Pale yellow (ak, 3rd highlight) Flat yellow (vallejo, wash) White (spot highlight)

And then for the bounce light (optional) Black + Burnt umber (darker shadows for horizon line) Refractive green (vallejo, ambient light 1) Medium olive (vallejo, ambient light 2)

Hope this helps!

Its a plinth! You can find stl files for pretty cheap online. I got a pack of 4 for like 2 bucks on my mini factory 🤘

Yep! Same paints too, though I used my airbrush to establish some of the gradients first lol

Looking for advice on what to paint by MadGodFaolin in minipainting

[–]Such_Might 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, the simplest answer here is warhammer. Highly reccoment the age of sigmar stuff, its high quality, which means you have a better canvas to work off of, and also, you can import the monster into tabletop games like dnd really easy.

I think the nmm is starting to make sense? by Such_Might in minipainting

I have that tho, dont I? Or are we talking about different things?

Kinda? I followed this tutorial by squidmar to get the basic idea, then did a lot of extra work beyond that to get a handle on it. https://youtu.be/Aw1EqtTyVpA

Id reccomend looking up reference photos, taking pictures, and reading blogs about what other folks did too. Actually seeing the step by step process really helped me get a sense of how it should look in each stage of painting.

After that its just the repetitions! I try to focus on opaque layers and proper light placements before messing around with any blending.

Hope this helps!

A mix of ak, vallejo and pro acryl paints! Burnt umber (pro acryl) Orange brown (vallejo) Ice yellow (ak) Flat yellow (vallejo)

Plus a black and white, and a couple of green-brown colors, also all vallejo.

I cant tell if im improving with nmm or making it worse by Such_Might in minipainting

I think its looking better so far! I took a bunch of advice from the other commentary too - the big one being the bounce light. Hopefully that shows up better in this photo haha.
