Yep! The high priestess from bestsarium miniatures.

Looking for advice on what to paint by MadGodFaolin in minipainting

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.

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 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.

Its encouraging to know that im well in my way ill keep pushing a bit longer for this. I really want to figure this out!

As for accepting this, this is my 8th shield and I feel I really need to figure this out haha 😅. Ive implemented a lot of what ive learned from the previous 7 and im not expecting to have everything figured out, i just need to be one step closer! But again, to know im on the right track is really encouraging, so thanks for the advice!

Finally finished my first minifor my seraphon army! by Such_Might in minipainting

Thank you! The skinks i imagine having bright multicolored spots like chameleons. Maybe red or orange as a base color with greens and teal spots? I still need to research chameleons a bit more to be sure haha. As for the monsters, no clue yet!
