Popular Post LinenMusician Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Finished my minis this month, tried to do some nmm on Sovereign and Winston’s cup. Gonna add some white on wings later, but too afraid to mess it up Sovereign, Winston and machinist for a total of 20 ss 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Moinetbeard Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 A few more done tonight, used some glue this time to enhance the webs. I've also built some scenic Web markers as well which need finishing. I'm hoping to get those done before the end of the month as well! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimH Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Continuing working towards completing some neverborn keywords, have painted up the Bultungin, 2 for Titania and one for Euripedes. Also from earlier in the month A little bit more bloodbowl. The Regular yhetee was technically in the big group shoot but the two star players weren't. Skorg (the Yhetee with the scarf) was great fun to paint with all his little hair care products on his belt and the great big scarf wrapped around his neck. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Laughing Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I may have made an error in inputting soulstones painted in the spreadsheet for this month (putting in 16 instead of 15). Finished Asami Shintaku, Had primer issues so not happy with everything that went over that but looks okish at 3 feet so tabletop ready-ish. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemiMurgos Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Again, for mobile ate my text... So, really last-minute pledge, but I have managed to finish up Youko from the Qi and Gong crew, which is going to be my continous pledge for July as well. With Youko done, I have officially finished 20 SS for June. I absolutely loved to paint kimonos for a change of pace with Chiyo and Youko after so much leather and weather for the Wastrels and Seamus. I have tried to capture her soft features from the box (as requested by owner of crew), so I really had to crank my painting game to a new gear. Would you guess this is her 7th iteration of makeup after complete wipe and redo? I am trying to follow traditional Japanese patterns and overall atmosphere for teahouses/bathhouses based on old paintings and guides. I have learned a lot thanks to this model. Her base is made of Fimo Air Light, which is still a useless material for any detailed miniature work. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedrus Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Caedrus, Reporting in! Folks, this is going to be a crazily brief update. I made it, with three hours to go! I got my Plague group complete, and some Bandits as well! This is my very swiftly taken shot, with more, and better, photos to come tomorrow! Caedrus. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimH Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 One final model done in the month Very happy with how the savage keyword is working out. WIll prolly be painting more of it over July. The second cyclops is started but not complete. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkoon Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Something went terribly wrong with the skintones on my Pandora 2 😱 I think it might have something to do with mixing scale 75 artists paints with vallejo model air paints, it gives a really uneven and flakey texture once dry. Don't know what I should do to correct this, but it killed off some motivation, and I'll be taking a mulligan this month as there's no way I'll get this finished in time... 😥 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Whew, another month flew by! Wasn't too good for me in terms of numbers as I was pretty busy at work. Still, got plenty of stuff prepped and I'm ready to do much more in July. In total I ifnished August with 29 soulstones worth of painting @Hawkoon - love the new Pandy and classic color scheme. I'm still in two minds whether to paint mine like that or go with intense red. Now I'm leaning towards "classic" as I can see it looks really cool! @TimH - really cool (pun intended) color scheme, this deep shade of purple in the recesses brings it all together nicely. The greenish shade on Bultingin's fur works really well with purple trousers too! @Caedrus - cool stuff, would love to see some close-ups but can already tell the Cat is amazing @DemiMurgos - very elegant, clean paintjob and the freehand looks great @wobbly_goggy - another months filled with awesome contributions. Miss model is my favorite as that shade of orange works so well with this limited palette @Gheist - quite the crew you got there! That proxy model is ridiculously good and the dark metallics on Freikorps look great. @Cats Laughing - haven't seen many of new Asami models painted and I like the bright colors you've used @Moinetbeard - I have two Nexus boxes set aside for a commisison I will be working on in September. Looking at your pics, I feel like opening them now - great stuff! @LinenMusician - nice and clean paintjobs all around @Diddick - great paintjob on these nasty ones, the skin looks amazing. I've tried using black background for pics but the effects were terrible, would love to get tome tips and tricks from you! 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkoon Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 @Viruk: Thank you for the comment 🙂 I keep a similar theme of green and purple main colours for all my woes, so I didn't want the new pandora to stand out from the rest of the gang. That said, my model is far from finished, as I messed up terribly with her skin. I've ordered new paints (the skintone I used is pretty old), so hopefully the next attempt will be better. But I really need to figure out what to do with the messed up parts. I can't just paint over, because there is a bit of texture build-up, so I need to do something about that. For her leg I can probably just apply another layer of primer to even it out, but I could use som pro-tips on what to do with her face and torso, as there are som really fine details there that won't look good with another thick coat of primer... 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as it's only her skin that's an issue I guess I could try removing the paint with a qtip and a solvent. Don't have any of the mentioned agents, but I guess airbrush cleaner would work?

Popular Post Shock & Awe Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 By the skin of my teeth I ended up finishing up my Aeslin last night to go along with The Tooth (or, I guess she is now just a generic "Autumn Knight"). Then I realized that is only 15ss.... one shy of my pledge. Ugh. I have a SS to make up next month I was pleased with the skin tones I managed on these two because I wanted a slight green tinge without it looking gremlin-esque. I think it worked Poor Aeslin's left eye (right from the painter's perspective) got jacked up somehow that I couldn't quite figure out how to fix. I think somehow there was a divot in the plastic that created a kind of weird lip. I decided to leave it be because it was making me stress a bit too much, and I wanted to move on with my life I also wanted to post a pic of my new paint handles, that I got off the recommendation from @Viruk - man, these things are wicked and I love them. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried using black background for pics but the effects were terrible, would love to get tome tips and tricks from you! Thanks! I use 2 steps: 1- while taking the picture - make sure the mini has good lighting - when taking the picture, reduce the exposure until the background is almost completely black, i use the base as a reference, ideally the base has to blend with the black surface where the mini is. Make sure the mini still looks good, if it gets too dark, ignore the base/surface blending, lower the exposure as much as you can, as long as the mini looks good. 2- edit the picture: - crop and center the image - optionally add a vignete around the image - at least on my phone there's a "black point" option, increase this until "the blacks get blacker", usually is a very very small amount. if you do it a lot it messes up the non black colors. and that's it 👌 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
