      These look good, and are excellent for tabletop play. And the most important part is that you had fun painting them. I'm really happy to see this video, because most people are not going to be painting master level competition minis like Sam Lenz or Trovarion or mini witch, Lyla Mev--especially straight out of the gate. Thanks much for this one. Holiday best and cheers!

    3:00 I took a hair (literally one hair off my head) and I use that for painting really tiny details such as Nakrasha's scar. If you use a stiff hairbrush bristle, that can do the same thing. Another option I've used is the very tip of a needle.

      I know someone who saves her cat's shed whiskers (when she finds them) to use for the super super fine detail painting. They're the perfect combination of durability and stiffness while still being a very very fine tip. They're even free (if you already have the cat), you just have to find the whiskers like some sort of rare loot drop

    That's an awesome paint job. I especially like that you mentioned using some of your make-up skills for determining highlight colors. People in the mini-painting community have been discussing that recently. For basing, you have sand and dirt and rocks right outside your door! Hobby tip though, bake them in an oven for a while to kill all the bacteria and make it safe for use!

    As someone that has been painting miniatures for about 30 years and has taught my friends and family how to paint, I gotta say that you're doing a great job! you've got the basics down pat and you understand layering concepts well. Just keep practicing and _enjoying_ the painting!
    The one suggestion I would make for you would be to set up a miniature stand for the mini's while you're painting. I use some poster tac to secure the miniature to an old paint bottle so I dont have to touch the miniature while painting. It also makes it a LOT easier to rotate the mini and get into hard to reach spaces.
    If you have videos of painting the other mini I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we'd love to see that!

    The greatest strength of mini painting imo is that it has a low floor and high ceiling. Extremely talented and experienced painter's make their minis into astounding works of art, but it's also fairly easy for a beginner to make something that looks pretty decent. It is essentially just a 3d coloring book.

    AAA I love her! Something that might help with the faces: watercolour pencils! I do doll repaints where those are commonly used, and I brought them into miniature painting. A super sharpened pencil point made doing tiny details SO much easier compared to even the tiniest brushes. (Another doll repainting hack: Mr. Super Clear UV is a great sealant and makes paints/pencils/pastels adhere WAY better to the mini!)

    I recently got back into mini-painting (specifically Horus heresy) after a 15-ish year hiatus from the hobby (played warhammer40k before) and i find the painting much, MUCH more enjoyable than i did before.
    There is a much wider range of types of (technical) paints available making it way more fun to add cool effects to your mini's
    If you can, try out some contrast- and/or speedpaints, and use oil washes for easy shading (it is an easy and early step adding a lot of depth to your stuff)
    As a last cool tip, for basing there are some really cool and interesting technical paints which 'crackle' in cool and random patterns that i would really recommend giving a go it's one of the things that gave me a good surprise and a lot of statisfaction when i got it under control. (i even used a ground texture effect on one of my mini's as a camo-effect on his cloak. lots of fun. :)
    oh, and for metallics, try 'drybrushing' most metallic paints aren't really good for opacity and coverage, but with this technique gives you a great effect.
    Just have fun, and the best thing i've learned painting recently, is that it's an additive process, you can keep coming back to it later and make things better :)

  • @octo448

    I only recently got into D&D but have been painting mini's for 20 years. Very nice job on these mini's!! For basing you could just scoop up sand from your yard and sift it in the grade you want and then bake it to kill the microbes. For the skulls i saw shooting by i would recomend a sepia wash.
    Also a wet-pallet makes a big diffrence!

    I've been painting minis for over 20 years now. Great job as a beginner Ginny. You're figure looks great! I'd suggest using some Citadel Technical paint as your base. Then you can use a wash to tone it down a bit, and a couple of drybrushed highlights. Then add some grass and flower tufts from Army Painter, GaelForce 9, or another basing materials company. Keep going and happy painting!
