Boy this was an incredibly tough model overall, but he's now complete and very menacing looking! From Monster Hunter World, here's Radobaan painted:

Totally agreed - hopefully they can come back and make it work on attempt #2!

Enjoy your sweet model in the meantime though!

Hey that's the spirit! =D Mine were in pretty good shape, so I got lucky on that point... I've had more mold lines on CMON minis than these.

For sure... the stilt-goblin archer guy is proudly on my shelf so that was a gift in itself.

Super cool to find so many great artists on #Portfolioday - I should join!
Hi - I'm Pes, a miniature painter. Whether it's superheroes, fantasy creatures, or horrors from beyond, I try to paint with lots of vibrant highlights & fake shadows. Happy to meet you! =)

Nice job! I was looking forward to seeing what you'd come up with - it looks great!

Shame they cancelled and seemingly abandoned the contest. I feel bad because I got mine done early and got a prominent feature, but plenty more were still working on theirs before a deadline that came & went =\

Here's my take on painting Black Widow, trying as always to get comic-y highlights & shadows. Happy about the facial details too!

Of course! For the majestic "whoosh" when they jump =) The best part is I didn't know what Estinien looked like playing Heavensward, so I assumed he'd be a battle-scarred warrior type.

Then the helmet came off later on and I kept joking with my wife "oh my God, he's -beautiful-!"

Surfer Orc Flesh is a beautiful teal paint, I love excuses to use that one!

The whole cast is fantastic, but Hamish's acting is just such a delight to watch in this one.

Easily one of the most memorable series we've ever watched.

I'll always remember the delight my family expressed upon realizing we could write & erase on the cards themselves =) It was worth its weight... & Gold!

Looking great shadow! The amount of depth and details... so good =)

Great job Aaron! Haven't done this one yet - I love the definition you got on his skin/scales. Very fun looking~

Great work all around on these! The color choices are absolutely on-point for what they'd look like in-game.

Pes ! @pesren.bsky.social · 5d

Gradually refining how intense I want the highlights & black-lining/shadows to be on simpler human models. From Death May Die, here's Buck Hall painted!

Man, yellow is tough and you made it look so nice and unassuming here. Well done John!

explosion looks awesome, well done!

I was pretty eager to tackle this one due to the fun color scheme and liking the character, 'happy with the result! From Marvel United, here's U.S. Agent painted~

Picture of a hand-painted model of the marvel antihero U.S. Agent. He's vaulting through a battlefield with a tire and bags. I paint with fake shadows so it looks like one side of him is in shadows and he's casting them over the ground/tire.

Wow that side shot really helps contextualize the full design. That thing is crazy and you did a great job with 'im. Well done!

Looking great Bren! For wood I often find that oranges make for good wood grain/highlight contrasts to the brown. Darker orange for a subtle contrast, orange-yellow for a stronger one. Good luck~

Frankly I think this guy is a menace!

Very creative and well-executed, nicely done Kaz =)

Pes ! @pesren.bsky.social · 15d

Could easily be complete already, looks great! =)

Pes ! @pesren.bsky.social · 18d

This one's going to take a while and will certainly be a bit tedious, but I'm hoping it will be awesome once finished!

Working on a bigger project now so time for a flashback post! I remember working -so- hard on this lovely lady at the time, and I still love how she looks on the shelf. From She-Ra, here's Flutterina painted!
