Managed to paint a full mini last night! Finally got this cute lil owl done 🦉

Aside from the base (I need to do bases for things all at once because that's a different mess than just painting!), she's all done. ⠀ ⠀ This was a ton of fun and I still want to know where this mini came from. So my boyfriend reposed her upward arm for me and when he was done, there were plier marks all over her arm so I tried to make it look like she has scars. Perhaps that glove she has is a cursed magical item?⠀ ⠀ She's larger than our 40k minis but not by too much, so I'm not sure what scale she is. But I had fun and I learned a lot doing her! I know I need to get faster at minis but compared to every other medium that I've done, I DO go pretty quick! I think that's part of why I like doing this so much is that to me, the result is so much more immediate than colored pencil or digital or painting large ceramics. ⠀ ⠀ #miniaturepainting #paintingminiature #mini #miniature #dungeonsanddragonsmini #fantasygaming #tabletopRPG #tabletopminiature #bard #sorceress #TTRPG #paintingmini #minipainting #danddmini #fantasymini https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmyaCdHrzp/?igshid=9scaapw5rvt

More of Kastor just with natural light no real changes. I started off wanting to try the Alpha Legion (the Emperors best and most loyal of legions) colors and then added some Vanu Sovereignty. I want to do an actual Alpha Legion army at some point but this will have to do for now. #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsanddragonscharacter #dungeonsanddragonsminiatures #fantasyminiatures #fantasymini #alphalegion #warhammer40k #planetside2 #pacificnerdwest (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc8O4RkL4bP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Time to learn yet another subject matter! Muscle and greens and skin...I think I got a good base down and a good start. This is among the lost yet found minis and I know there was another one somewhere but I didn't find that one. One day, maybe his brother shall also reappear. ⠀ ⠀ I'm still amazed compared to canvas or paper or digital how quickly I see progress on minis instead. I'm having too much fun with these and there are so many I want to do! I need to prime my Y-Wing, put my Harlequins together, paint all these old mystery minis...why didn't I get into this sooner??⠀ ⠀ #miniaturepainting #minipainting #fantasymini #orcmini #orcminiature #ttrpg #tabletoprpg #dungeonsanddragons #danddmini #danddminiature #workinprogress #WIP #WIPminiature https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFcVFghSGa/?igshid=ghr6dun32o2k

I learned some things with her. ⠀ ⠀ First - a new lamp and a natural light bulb make a BIG difference. *Slaps myself in the forehead*⠀ ⠀ Second - the next time I do a gradient like the cloak, I should highlight and shadow in black and white and then gradient the colors over it! ⠀ ⠀ Third - I love highlighting things XD⠀ ⠀ And we found a treasure trove this last weekend! My wonderful BF built us a huge table that will ultimately be our gaming table, but until he builds us desks too, it's our work table. So I pulled out some old Space Marines boxes he had and what did I find? Minis of mine that we primed years ago when we first got together and first wanted to try getting into mini painting (we bought a box of Citadel's that were all dried up and never got more paint at that point because we were disheartened). So I have lots to do!⠀ ⠀ #miniaturepainting #minipainting #paintingminiature #fantasymini #archer #ranger #snowelf #elf #tabletoproleplayinggame #ttrpg #fantasyrpg #fantasytabletop #dungeonsanddragonsminiature #dungeonsanddragons #dandd #reapermini #pewtermini https://www.instagram.com/p/CL4tHu8hGOS/?igshid=11yu9kbk9lk0t
