I've got a commission to illustrate a client's Star Wars character. We're 6 hours in. Still need to highlight the skin, work on the eyes, draw in te tattoos, and figure out what goes into the background.
Acrylic paint, pen and ink. May break out some colored pencils and copic markers.

3 Victorian gentle folk & a hillbilly from Reaper Miniatures Chronoscope line of figures. Painted for my Outlaws and Lawdogs game. The lady in the blue dress, her face was seriously smooshed. Painted her as best I could.

I finished the next batch of figures for my Outlaws and Lawdogs game. Alligator Hunters and a Bounty Hunter. All painted to a tabletop quality. I used some pre-made & a 3d printed base as I was out of any plain bases. Thanks for looking.

I painted this fun little diorama using figures & parts from my bits box & a resin base. Tried using some Dirty Down Gore, but it wasn't working properly. 2 Goblins "found" an undead cyclops & turned him into their new, really strong, friend. Quite useful in their fight against Order... or Chaos.

What's all the buzz about?
Painted this silly guy as a pallette cleanser on Monday. He's from Reaper Miniatures Bones line of figures. One of the older Halloween chibi characters. He's pretty wry for a fly guy.

A quick paint job on a Drow Halbardier. Nothing fancy. Drybrushed on some metallics, & used the Reaper Miniatures MSP Dark Elf paint triad for the skin. Army Painter grass tufts for the base.
Alt: a dark elf with purple grey skin & white hair. Wearing copper/ bronze armor, holding a halbard.

Painted up this dwarf cleric of Moradin from WizKids Nolzurs Magnificent Miniatures last night. Not a great figure. Weird details. But my friend likes it so, off it goes for his 5th Ed game!

I received a box of 45 Wild West minis from my friend Nate S on Thursday evening. Here's the first batch completed. Part of the 7th Cavalry. All 3D printed. I'm going straight tabletop quality paint jobs on all of these figures as there are so many of them.
