Miniature Painting Update: Acererak + New Project

June 27, 2021

Dear Readers,

I’m back! I’m sorry for the hiatus. I really needed to take a mental health break. As all of you or some of you may know, I deal with MS as well as chronic depression and I really needed some time to get my head back in a good place.

That said, here are some updates on our boy Acererack!

Miniature figure of a skeleton king, painted with black, red, and gold, on a wooden table.

As it says on the box, they recommend the use of the undead paint set with the Adventurer’s Paint Set.

D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Pigments Adventurers Paint Set, held by a person, with paints and miniature.

You should remember this one from when I painted Minsc.

Taking that to heart, I began painting his crown, where I used Angelic Yellow.

Miniature of a dark robed figure with a hammer, near paint color swatches, labeled “Ghoul Grey” and “Mouldy Wash”.

And then added some Treant Green…

Miniature figure of a robed skeleton with a crown, red accents, and a wispy blue trail.

Yes, I know it’s not perfect. I’m just trying to get a base coat on.

In addition to all this, I’ve started helping with a young girls D&D group on wednesdays. My youngest daughter, who is 11, needs friends, as any young girl is needing, so I started helping and bringing along my 11-year-old. I have a group of three (including my daughter) and they are amazing. The idea is to teach them proficiency in D&D so that we can introduce them to our Sunday Adventurers League.

Has such, I am painting each of them a miniature to use

And before you say it, yes I am taking on a new project.
