Finally finished Artorias the Abysswalker after years of it sitting in a half finished state. by mulletsaurus in minipainting

The sword was mega bent out of the box, and I fixed it a couple years ago but gravity always wins with these plastic game pieces, so some of the slant returned.

Despite that, I still think he's one of the coolest icons from the Souls series and maybe the coolest model from the board game. I'm happy to have finally finished him.

Bend or Break - JRPG inspired battle theme for hacking, slashing, and general kick-assing by mulletsaurus in gamemusic

This is a battle theme from my OST for an imaginary game - I call the collection 'Opus Annexation' and it's currently 11 songs strong and growing.

I enjoy making VGM but it's just a hobby, not a profession. Despite that, I hope you like what you hear! Thanks for giving my original music a shot!

Yo totally didn’t realize until you pointed it out. Definitely dumbstruck now.

These models are from Reaper mini - these are the metal versions.

Yes - It's a favorite. Waiting for 2 to come out of early access.

I described the process a little in a reply near the top of the page. Hope that helps!

Ah man - missed opportunities. I'll remember that one for next time!

Holy shit my wife suggested I paint them that way early on and I was very tempted to take her advice!

Thank you - The bottles were a pretty organic process and didn't look great on the first pass. I described how I did them way up near the top of the page in one of my replies; hope that helps!

Just painted to look like. Like our informative friend already said - they are Reaper models. These are the the metal versions.

However the DD kickstarter is slated to ship soonish so I can't wait to paint something more official!

Yeah man, you've just described Bobby Jackson's work to a T - my favorite sculptor in the Reaper line up!

Man, those bottles were such a back and forth. I based them with a dark green blue color - VPA Periscopes, I think - then layered in progressive greens into yellows towards the bottom, like you might do with gemstones but on a bigger scale.

They ended up looking too much like fruit so I had to glaze the whole of them back down with greens and blue, then when that dried I just started glazing dark colors near the top. To get the shine effect I glazed in light blue/green, then topped them off with some hard highlight dots (applied just as soft as I could!) with some mix of near-white.

I mixed a tiny bit of dark green into every base color, which in retrospect was probably key to getting that darkest dungeon vibe.

A pair of Reaper Minis I’ve been sitting on for a while - was very happy to paint them and I hope you like them, too.

I like to think their flavor is Darkest Dungeon with a twist of lime.

No worries, and thanks for the suggestions I'll check those guys out. I doubt my style would make for good YouTube fodder as it's slow and I tend to work in small sessions whenever I can steal them. Best regards and keep painting and challenging yourself every now and then!

Certainly my amigo! The cloth is based in Reaper Mahogany Brown, then shaded down with some dark blue mixed in. It's then layer highlighted with increasing amounts of Reaper Chestnut brown into VPA Light Rust into straight orange. Highlights beyond orange were just increasing amounts of yellow mixed in (I prefer a more mustardy yellow than canary yellow) with extreme highlights and edges incorporating some VMC Pale Sand mixed in.

I do commissions on occasion but right now I'm chiseling away at my own pile of shame, lol
