My first attempt at NMM (non-metallic metal) on a Reaper Maggotcrown Ogre Juggernaut. I used only black, blue, and white for the armour; and brown, yellow ochre, and white for the weapon. A huge thanks to @minimonsterpaints for the crash course in NMM during our co-stream on twitch! #reaperminiatures #ogre #monster #acrylics #acrylicpainting #painting #art #paintedminiatures #paintedminis #twitch #livestream #twitchstreamer #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #ttrpg https://www.instagram.com/p/COa7O3lHRqd/?igshid=1197ims19kllr

My second commission, a chaos warrior / aspiring chaos champion for a wonderful person. This is the most work I've put in on a base so far, and I'm happy with how it turned out. Most of it was painted live on twitch. I think it would make a great Zhentarim or death knight in D&D, too! #art #painting #livestream #paintedminiatures #paintingwarhammer #warhammer #warhammerpainting #ageofsigmar #warhammerfantasy #gamesworkshop #paintedminis #fantasy #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #tabletopgames #wargaming https://www.instagram.com/p/COMLbqpH2rA/?igshid=12xfdqp894266

Today! In just over an hour, chaos will break out as we play D&D live on twitch for charity! Come watch as we, degenerates, dungeon delve for a good cause. We're also painting minis of our characters to raffle off, plus... a Deck of Many Things!! https://twitch.tv/DRhino_ #charity #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #deckofmanythings #paintedminiatures #paintedminis #miniatures #art #livestream https://www.instagram.com/p/CODX00zHu_J/?igshid=tfa6ci6wb7oq

Here's the first of several bard miniatures I have been working on live on twitch for charity this month for @bards4bards . This one was won in a giveaway during the fundraiser @thecallisandra livestreamed to raise money for @curesarcoma . It's my first attempt at blonde hair with actual shading and highlights. The background is a few trees made from flocking on a battle mat by @ec3d_designs #charity #charityfundraiser #bard #paintedminiatures #art #paintedminis #miniatures #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #painting #livestream #acrylicpainting #acrylics #bards4bards #bards4bards2021 #dnd #pathfinder #hobbies #hobbiesforhappiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CNyPBmOntoI/?igshid=wquth8pczvy3

Here's my completed "Vatanis, Hellborn Warlock" by @reaperminiatures I painted mostly live on stream as a gift for @drrhino_ ... who knows if he'll show up as a villain in our live charity D&D game with @zambiesdecays @thesaucepainting @sir_yakob_miniatures @letsmakeitorkie on April 24th at noon EST on twitch? I've almost completed my bard mini for the character I'll be playing, so I should have some pictures of him posted soon.

Acrylic on canvas. Reminds me of the old Quebec Medicare card I grew up with. I did this one paint night at a pub a couple of years ago (feels like a decade ago now). I'd love to try again, something similar after everything I've learned in the last year. I could look at a thousand photos, but nothing takes me to my happy place like making it myself. In this case with painting, but being creative in any form is magical. #art #painting #acrylics #acrylicpainting #supportartists #supportart #canada #canvas #picture #landscapepainting #landscape #lake #lakelife #sunset #sunsetpainting #quebec #hobbies #hobbiesareimportant #hobbiesforhappiness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CNG9JriHWDB/?igshid=91f17v5vi63u

Together with @beholderpaints @_aspirepainting and @darke_cerantis we raised over $700 for children's hospitals this weekend! Here's the 28mm "Miyamoto Mushashi" by Corvus Belli for the "infinity" game that I painted live on twitch to raffle off for donors. The charity challenge was black, white, and red only, so that meant mixing to get shades to work with. #art #painting #livestream #paintingminiatures #miniatures #corvusbelli #corvusbelliinfinity #charity #fundraiser #charityfundraiser #cheo #childrensmiraclenetwork #extralife #paintedminiatures #paintedminis #paintingminis https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSwP97ntjW/?igshid=lmip6hvllah0

My completed Skulltaker, Daemon of Khorne (for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar / 40k), painted live on twitch over 3 streams. The sword is my first wet-blend! For scale the base is just 32mm. The terrain is the new Hellscape terrain by @dwarvenforgeofficial This started as a multi-stream with the fantastic and talented @battle_pixie_real who I'm lucky to call a friend. I'm excited to see how hers turns out! https://twitch.tv/JarrettsTerrainMinis #art #painting #miniatures #paintedminiatures #warhammer #ageofsigmar #warhammer40k #dungeonsanddragons #demon #daemon #khorne #dnd #monster #supportartists #supportart https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcUnFuH_m3/?igshid=116bfoxu9u7ri

A Yuan-Ti ready for battle... Not my first mini, but the first one I consider "complete" and no longer a work in progress. For scale, it has a 25mm (1 inch) base. Thanks to virtual ReaperCon and all the wonderful mini painters I've learned from on twitch, without whom I would not have made it this far. #art #paintedminiatures #miniatures #dungeonsanddragons #yuanti #monster #paintedminis #painting #acrylics #acrylicpainting #hobby https://www.instagram.com/p/CHvs0vNlsf2/?igshid=qz26z9ciltcd

The wonderful art community on twitch has inspired me to start live-streaming! Half of all money raised is going to the kidney foundation, and the other half is going back to the community as giveaways. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at my setup, for live-streaming painting miniatures and crafting terrain for D&D/Shadowrun RPGs, and wargames like Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar. Please stop in and say hi any time I'm live! https://www.twitch.tv/JarrettsTerrainMinis #livestream #setup #art #painting #miniatures #dungeonsanddragons #crafting #terrain #warhammer40k #warhammer #ageofsigmar #dnd #paintingwarhammer #paintedminis https://www.instagram.com/p/CHf-8zAFeJE/?igshid=5egkpn1lr9qt

I lost this exceptionally special queen of my heart Sunday night. Mazzy was out on the front porch enjoying the warm sunset. I went out to pet her and caught her last few breaths. It was peaceful and dignified, just like her. #mazzy #mazzydog #mazzythemouth #mazzypants #mazzberries #queenofmyheart #therapydog #unconditionallove #puppy #dog #dogsofinstagram

My xmas/birthday gift from Matt and Nikky! @sabiancymbals_official HHX 10"/25cm splash cymbal just like the one my uncle left me that finally needed to be replaced. Thanks guys!!
