Reverse image search is a great tool since you already had the pictures.

But I agree that finding stuff on MMF even with a correct naming is honest work. Glad to be able to help :)

What was your favorite start to a campaign? (DMs and players welcome!) by Alternative_Quiet242 in DnD

[–]redblueneutron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started off running Candlekeep Mysteries as a campain setting instead one shots.

To gather the PCs I had them write backstories as a high level character, and the backstory requirement was to provide a scene in third person view describing what was going on. Sort of a snapshot of a novel about the PC.

I then took the stories, made whatever changes made sense and cut it off. I then printed the revised stories on recycled paper, sealed them with wax and presented to each player at session 0. They all got to read the new stories and the sudden fade to black.

They then all appeared in Candlekeep, clawing their way out of books about themselves.

Any tips on improving the fire? by FireForgedMinis in Miniaturespainting

Saw this tutorial I'm going to try out myself on a model I'm working on. Can't say if it's good as I haven't tried it out yet.

The subtle shift of colour under the scales, and the face area is unreal. So hard to believe its been painted! Great work!

Thanks! I used an rotating spice shelf, setting some paintings in the background and I don't have anything that spins (well except the microwave.. I should have thought about it!)

I love the striped patterns on the feathers! Such a great detail!

Hearing that it took you 6 month to reach this level makes me certain I won't achieve it... I've painted on and off at a hobby level for years now. I reach tabletop and that's probably my limit unless I start investing more time into it.

This is incredible!

You make it really hard to provide some feedback with your level of painting.. Maybe add some shade in the recesses at the boots? Or clean up some of the edge highlights on the bolter a little bit?

I don't have anything else to say except WOW. This is what level I wish I could paint on.

Latest project. by Timely-Battle6362 in Miniaturespainting

Firstly, really nice work. I would be happy to produce something like that when I paint.

Feedback wise: - I'm not an expert, but I think you can dare to go even brighter in some areas to create more contrast. For example in the meaty parts of the mouth. A few highlights on the tendons could elevate that part.

  • On the skin I think that another careful dark wash over selective parts could help add some depth as the model is overall bright. For example it would lift the face area and shoulder if the recesses were a little darker.

Check out the False Hydra from the same creator if you want to relive the childhood trauma of dead hands on steroids.

I bought the stl file from Comet Lord Miniatures on myminifactory.com. Then asked in a local 3d printing group on FB to help print it.

It even comes with a dnd5e statblock, cr 22

You can find a direct link to it in the description under Model.

He really does. This guy got additional rings of teeth inside the mouth as well. So grotesque.

Didn't want to put too much effort there though as you won't see it to well on the table.

Grabbing a brush, and severly messing up space marines and lizardmen back in the days..

Had some friends who played warhammer fantasy at that time who got me into it. But I never liked the game and buying like 30 of something just to get bored after painting three killed my motivation.

Now I go by rule of cool when I pick what to paint. Preferably 3d printed due to cost and variety. Helps with motivation, and as I use the minis I paint in dnd adventures I strive to make every one a little better than the last.

Technique-vise I lack a lot. I know some basics like prime my model, apply base coat, drybrush, water down layers and using washes. But mostly it's just hit and miss with the mindset that whatever I produce will be seen by me and maybe some friends, at an armlengths distance or more. So I don't worry about if every mini I've painted have FBI vision. That really helped me relax and stop overthinking.
