I painted the toothy fish-dog five years ago, and still ain't got to use it. What paints did you use on the raincoats, Saffron Sunset?

Look, if you're not going to Photo ... um ... shop your pirates so it looks like they are on sailing, what's the point?

What nimrod decided this morning to paint an unprimed 40-legged monster for his early afternoon #FreeRPG session? This guy.
Slop basecoat. Drybrush. Wash. Drybrush.
Bugbear Fur, nice coverage.
Pale Sand, couldn't've done it without you.
Agrax Earthshade, MVP as usual.

To ameliorate some of a stranger's pain, here's what about a dozen of them looked like (painted before I got glasses)

Four years ago, when traveling to the first face-to-face RPGing since lockdown, I put a case of 60 mostly-painted minis on top of my car and drove off. Cash reward posters got no response.
Most were replaceable, but the painting time...
Today, I finally finished repainting one of the PCs lost:

After a great start (19 in Jan and 7 more in Feb) on my quest to paint 100 miniatures this year, there was a lull. 0 painted in March-May. I just finished the first in June, meaning I must average one mini per 2.83 days. Definitely erred in the color scheme of the tabard.

One of the best minis I ever gave away was a Darksword sculpt, to a student who later confessed to me he was a furry. (The paint job was pretty much in pure mimicry of the "display model".)
