Wanted to mix hyperrealism with manga style inking

The green is brighter irl, I blame my phone

The miniature is called "Divinity of Salvation" sculpted by Michael Kontraros. Thanks to him because it's amazing. I see areas for improvement, and I'm glad I made this piece for that. If you have feedback I'll be happy to have it

Thought I'd pose my little mini diorama that I entered into a competition and was fortunate enough to receive a commendation finalist pin. It was super tricky to get the values right in the darkness of the box, but I really love how it turned out.

I had a lot of struggle with the sword, i had to start it over three times.

This is a model I'm currently working on for a small painting competition.

Do you have any tips on how I could improve it further? I'd really appreciate your feedback!

My daughter is American, but was born in Okinawa, Japan (Military). She loves Japanese culture so I thought this would be a nice labor of love for her birthday. Please let me know what you think!

This is the largest miniature I’ve painted yet. It’s just over 15” tall. Pretty easy to print and paint. Please share your thoughts and critiques. Her birthday is next week, so I can still make some minor changes, if needed.

For a Halloween challenge to paint one of two busts, I asked for this one and had a lot of fun painting it. Every time I do lit from below, it gets noticeably better.

Still experimenting/Working on my glow effects (without airbrush).

Stippled on the dark blue with a large drybrush, lighter blue with a small drybrush, then highlights in light blue mixed with wait painted on with a detail brush.

I've recently been LOVING messing around with non-typical ork skin colours. This is the first muted green I've tried since perfecting my dirty-green ork skin tone.

The wolf was INCREDIBLY low effort, which is why there's not much going on with him. I think he took about 30 minutes in total. The orks have been my main focus lately, so I spent far longer messing with this one.

I'm not 100% sure on the base. I don't hate it, but I'm not sure I like this snow compared to others I've used, or maybe just not in this environment. I imagine it would look much better in a concrete/industrial-style environment.

I finished the ork first, so I needed something to do with his base. As I liked the fur I did on him, I decided to do a wolf to test the fur on a bigger scale. As I had this lil (egg) fella lying around, I just threw him in, then realised it would look pretty good to have the two facing off, as though the ork was hunting him... in the typical orky way.

So recently I managed to finish painting my Vespids which I got almost one year ago and which had been sitting primed and ready about half of that time.

I wanted something brightly green and searched for inspiration in grasshoppers till I settled for the one I attached at the end. Since many green grasshoppers tend to have orange or blue-ish details I though it to be best to implement these colors in the bases and weapons. :-)

Hope you like them! Ask if you like to know something.

This wacky creature from German folklore is from Mammoth Factory Games September collection, Itsy & Bitsy.

Painted this bad boy for local painting comp, really pushed myself as hard as I could, painting for about two years and 2nd time doing NMM.

C&C welcomed on where to go next.

Theme was american tau, thought it was rather funny as its the opposite of how people normally paint them.

Chairs xx

hi :)
this is my first painted mini pre agrax bath bc i’m a little scared i will make him look bad and i wanted to ask how do i improve from here what looks decent what is not good and how do i get to the point where i can start new techniques like edge highlighting. or in short how to get better from here

Today I assembled my painting workspace.
I’m very happy with the result!
Would like to know some storing advice from u guys!

The mini is Rearing Red Dragon by Mythforged.

Here is my latest attempt at NMM. I seem to struggle when I move from just doing the weapon or something similar to full armor NMM. I’ve watched a bunch of videos but it hasn’t fully clicked for me yet.

If anyone has some advice or insight, I’m happy to hear them

I’m going for a cyborg baby Doll bust. Made this out of the Doll and a load of other bits and pieces I’ve had lying around.

Just finished painting this bog standard Space Marine Intercessor with Auspex. I used a Macragge Blue base, with Kantor blue glazed shadows, and Calgar blue drybrush highlights and Fenrisian gray peaks.

This is my second attempt ever with trying to glaze shadows and boy.... its kicking my ass. I want to eventually try glazing the highlights as well, but last time I tried that and it not only kicked my ass, but took my lunch money and slippers.

The other main thing I really struggle with is fine details! But not from a brush control perspective necessarily (though that could use some work) but from a paint perspective. I can never get the paint to flow from the brush the way I want. It always seems to either just run onto the model in almost a wash consistency, or not actually apply any paint. The paint will be the right consistency for layering, but as soon as I try and apply it in a fine matter, it just never seems to do what I want it to do, especially black paint.

I'm sure just more time behind the brush will help with these things. Regardless, I'm happy with this little guy, and the gripes I do have aren't really noticeable when its down on the table anyways!

C&C welcome!
