Painting Update: Fighting Laziness and New Projects

February 16, 2021

So, here’s some of the projects I have worked on since the Space Marine, using the new techniques for drybrushing that I have learned.


Behold! Manshoon!

Miniature figure of a robed wizard in green, holding a staff with a blue flame.
Miniature of an elf sorcerer in green robes, holding a staff with a blue crystal, on a gray base.
Green robed wizard figure with staff emitting blue flames, on a round base.

As you can see, the drybrushing/highlighting and shading techniques I learned turned out very well, I think.



Next, we have Artemis Entreri…Gah, I shouldn’t have started this mini. I am so not motivated or ready to paint him, but I added another base coat to get his darker brown areas painted.

Miniature figure of a warrior with two swords, brown and white armor, on a gray base.

Next, we have the project for the winner of our 25 subscriber mark giveaway!

Miniature archer figurine, metallic with a bow drawn. Green foliage base on white surface.
Miniature figure of an archer with a bow and arrow; green clothing, white background.

As you can see, I’m going with a green motif for her outfit, making her a forest-y ranger. I’m thinking brighter colors with dark accents.


Let me know in the comment section if you have a better idea!



My last project…by request, is this beauty (gah, I sound like Steve Irwin!):

Figure of a Nalfeshnee demon in plastic packaging. Gray figure with wings and clawed hands on a base.

Apparently, Dear Readers, my post did not save correctly and the end of the post was cut off. Here’s the rest…


So this is my current project list. I’ll also be attempting to shade, drybrush, and thereby finish the tiefling warlock, and I’ll post that up as well. Frankly, I recently saw that I messed up some parts so I’ll be fixing those up first.
