A few interesting detail shots of Eldareon. I learned a lot about NMM on this project that I’m excited to put into action on the next one(s) 😁

I’ve switched to a white background for these but as usual I have no idea whether it’s better or not. The second shot is a black background comparison, so let me know your thoughts 🙂

My first 75mm miniature: Eldareon, from blackcrowminiatures

If you’ve been following my posts recently you’ll know this is the third miniature I’ve painted with NMM. I think understanding how metals interact with light is a great way to improve your painting skills in general, so it’s something I really want to improve at. In aid of that this piece ended up being something of a study of the amazing boxart by davidarrobaminiatures. I don’t think I hit the mark on replicating that level, but I certainly learned a lot along the way 😊

Also special thanks to quarterpaint , who gave me some great feedback on the model while it was in progress.

Kyra by Black Crow Miniatures.

I wanted to test myself by only using 4 colours for this whole mini. I decide on the Zorn Palette after watching so many of njm_marcofrisoni videos about limited palette exercises.
I definitely feel more confident in my abilities and definitely learned some new skills along the way.

Finally last week before lockdown managed to get this guy onto his plinth I got from an old piece of fence post. I think it’s fitting my old man is on some old wood. Happy painting all!

Sknitt and Redfang, from blackcrowminiatures

My painting history is about 99% space marines and Necrons, so I actually have very little experience painting organic materials and textures. It’s something I’m very keen to improve at, and this miniature is a step in that direction 😊

November/December is a very chaotic time for me. I took some moments to chill out and made a tiny lil hutt diorama 🤌🏻🖤

Hey all! Thought I post a recently finished personal project today!

In May this year, @craftworldstudio did an amazing video on moonlight ambiance and set a challenge for their patreons to take these lessons on board and create their own ambiance piece.

Oh course a dwarf had to be painted so Kyra from @blackcrowminiatures caught my eye.

In my mind's eye I could see a dwarf rogue at night stealthily activating an enchanted dagger before delivering a killing blow.

This slowly unintentionally morphed from an ambiance piece to my first attempt at OSL 😅. I'm not particularly over the moon (ha get it, moon 😏😅) with how it turned out but very much looking forward to trying something similar soon using the lessons I learnt from this project.

Having said that over all I loved this project and challenge as it really got me to paint something outside of my comfort zone and try something new. I highly highly recommend having a look at @craftworldstudio patreon for this kind of content and much much more!

As a side note, has anyone tried to photograph Emerald Green Artist Acrylic before? Completely confuses my camera phone ha and this is essentially the best I could get from a normal camera 😅. *Edit* The last two pics were shot with a proper camera however this was before my final glaze to filter out some of the yellow.*

Onto the next project, happy painting peoples!

Jim

Working on another model from blackcrowminiatures: Sknitt and Redfang.

I ended up cutting off the head and right arm and resculpting those joints to give the model more of a static pose that suited the cliff/hilltop idea I wanted to go with.

The chunk carved out of the base is going to be a river (assuming my first time casting clear resin isn’t a disaster 🤞).

Hey guys and gals, a pretty big announcement below and something I'm incredibly excited to share with you all.

The very talented Aussie graphic designer, illustrator and miniature painter @evalaina from Eva Studios @stonebeardminiatures are collaborating to bring the community some high quality and unique wooden plinths!

These plinths are designed and made by Natalie herself from reclaimed Australian timber. I think we can all agree that these are absolutely amazing and full of unique character!

The unique plinths will be broken down into a couple of different categories that will range to fit small, medium and large busts and miniatures. We will also be stocking more modern sized plinths for those wanted exact measurements. These plinths will be for sale from Stonebeard Miniatures in the near future and I'm very excited to share more info in the near future!

Have a look below at a sneak preview of some samples of the amazing plinths you can expect to see in the near future. Additionally, Natalie has put together a couple of video displays (http://imgur.com/a/VfihzTY) for some WIP's that are part way through the process and they already look like this!. A lot to look forward to!

Happy painting people!

Jim,
