Miniature Painting Spotlight: Finally!

October 27, 2020

So, dear readers, I finally got some painting done. Of course, some of that painting was done today, thus my late post.


This isn’t going to be a long post, but it will have some cool things I’ve been working on.


First, another dear restoration project.

A figurine of a cloaked figure with a staff, standing on a dark surface in a white room.

Next is a Wizard of Thay that I am working on for my Tuesday game (Shhhh… don’t tell them!)

A red robed figurine, holding a silver ball. It's on a dark surface, near a white wall.

Note that both of these miniatures are, in fact, metal and end up looking a tad different than the plastic or resin miniatures.



Speaking of, here’s the tiefling that I’ve been working on.

A white and red figure on a base in front of a corner made of white paper.

As you can see, I have the coat pretty much done. I wanted to the inside of his lapels a different color, gold or copper. Not sure yet.


Next week I will be featuring a couple of miniatures painted by a friend of mine. I don’t make any claims about being an expert painter, although I take pride in my work and think I do a fairly good job. After all, I have had a few people have me do commissions for them. But this guy? This guy makes my work look like garbage! Not going to lie, I’m kind of jealous and have asked him to teach me his ways. Once I have learned them, I will, in turn, teach you all that I have. Sharing is caring and all that.


Until next time, dear readers, keep painting and keep playing!


Feel free to link a picture of your miniature that you’ve been working on in the comments!
