Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

[MGibster]

A little progress with my shark. When I glued the dorsal fin there was a wicket seam line I used Mr. Putty to cover up. After applying a dark grey base color, mission successful.

I’m still not done with this cybernetic shark. There’s an additional base I need to attach it to and there’s a rider. Put in a lot of work in this so far.

My inspiration for this shark riding goblin was my niece. If were a psychotic 5 year old goblin riding a shark, how would I dress?

What a wierd model. The manufacturer's website just says "Dwarf Cleric." I went back and forth on whether he was wielding some kind of strange, spiked club or a cactus. I decided on cactus.

A cactus is the family friendly answer...

I've printed some HeroQuest proxies and I'm quite liking how rhis one turns out. Plenty of work left to do but I think the muscles tirned out well.

Good job on the eyes as well.

After I finished the miniature I went back and added a speck of white to the eyes.

Every year I give my players a painted mini for Christmas and this is one of them this year. This is a WizKids D&D Framework minie. Unlike most other WizKids miniatures, this one came on a plastic sprues you had to cut the pieces off an assemble yourself and you have a few optional pieces you could have added. Instead of the backpack, I could have put on a fur cloak instead. Generally speaking, I don't care for the WizKids player character minis because they're no fun to paint. This framework model was fun to paint though. It's more expensive than the regular WizKids model, but if you want a decent looking PC it's worth it to pay a little extra in my opinion.

From a painting point of view, one of the things I've been trying to work on is blending. You can see a little blending in the feathered head dress she's wearing. I'm still working on skin, it's difficult, and I'm not super happy with the results here though I'm not super disappointed either. We can't wow ourselves all the time.

My player is queer (her words, I still don't like calling people that), bisexual to be specific, and I tried to incorporate some of those colors in this miniature.

Love it! And calling people what they prefer to be called is a sign of respect, so it's cool that you are honouring her preferences.
