Town Guard #2

This guy definitely had his nose broken in the past… The skin could be better, the eyes could be better. But they’re not the stuff of nightmares, so that’s something!Read More →
Town Guard #1

This guy’s face isn’t the best, but it came out okay considering the limited detail in the primed sculpt. His blue clothes came out pretty nice, almost like he’s wearing jeans…Read More →
Adventurer – Elf Warrior Female #2
2019-02-15
Despite my complaints about the lack of definition in the facial features of the WizKids minis, I am actually very pleased with how they use the clear plastic for things like fire and spell effects! The torch fire came out looking very nice on this model, using a thin glossy glaze for each color other than the black at the top. This model’s eyes did not come out nearly as wonky as the previous one… She appears to be looking in the correct direction, and doesn’t look startled or straight up terrified.Read More →
Adventurer – Elf Warrior Female #1
2019-02-14
While I really like the WizKids models, generally… I’m finding that for the human/demi-human figures the features – particularly the facial features – are not very well defined, or they’re obscured from the primer. For example, this Elf (or Half-Elf) figther has almost no nose, the mouth was basically just a cut in the plastic and was obscured, and the eyes were all but flat. I’m running into this for most of the human-like models. So, once I finish the ones I have, I will probably look for another brand of miniature for my Human/Demi-Human figures. But their monsters are GREAT, and the fact thatRead More →
Descent: Minotaur
2017-06-24
Way back, when I first started painting I took a small detour from the Games Workshop Dwarfs and started painting some miniatures from the 1st edition version of Descent: Journeys in the Dark. This was mostly to take a break from the monotony of continually painting the gold and metal bits of the Dwarf models. I wasn’t terribly sophisticated in my painting techniques since, at the time, I really only had maybe a dozen fully painted models under my belt at the time. But having said that, I was always very happy with how this model turned out and it was one of the reasonsRead More →
Descent: Lyssa
2016-10-06
I think I painted Lyssa toward the end of my initial painting of Descent figures. She’s got layered skintones, leather, and cloth. While I didn’t even attempt facial details on her, it looks like I was just starting to get better. This may have even been right after I got more than one brush size, but I can’t recall… Finally, here is her character card. Thank goodness this embarrassing series is finally over!Read More →
Descent: Sir Valadir
2016-10-05
This one’s rough. Sir Valadir has a face only a mother or Great Old One could love… If I recall correctly, I tried a couple times before ultimately giving up on the face. Still single brush, still just barely starting with layering. Bad times. Here’s his character card… Y’know, it’s still a goofy grin…Read More →
