Painting Update: Female Human Barbarian

The Daily DM • April 2, 2023

Dear Readers, I’ve made some good progress on the miniature this week!

Here, see what I mean:

As you can see my progress is, indeed, coming along. I started with painting her bracers. I then moved on to her skirt, belt, and boots. For the boots, I’m using one color of brown, for the belt and harness and the skirt, I’m using a much darker brown called Rigid Leather. I like the darker tone of that to represent armors more than others. I haven’t come across a miniature wearing just plain leather armor so I couldn’t tell you, but I think I would use a lighter brown for that particular miniature.

That all said, I got the rest of her skirt done and then remembered that I wanted to paint the handles of her axes using speed paints. Only problem? I primed her in gray. I really got to remember to stop doing that. In any case, I painted them white so that I can get a good coat of a favorite speed paint on there.

I ended with the goat skull belt buckle. Yeah, I got a little bit of black on the thigh, but that’ll be easily fixed later.

Well, what do you all think? Let me know in the comments section below.

Until next time, Dear Readers…
