One hour, one (cheap) brush

(Maaaaaaaybe not the #fedipaint "speed" theme as intended)

Figure from Caravanserai #Boardgame by Everland Studio

#miniaturepainting #speedpainting

Plastic miniature figure of a bearded man wearing a turban and robes sitting crosslegged.
The box cover, which has an illustration of the character, is in the background.

The back of the figure. I'm holding it on its painting handle along with the brush I painted it with, which is rather large (size 4 or something) and very split at the tip because it's a cheap brush from the crafts store.

Didn't quite finish this guy in time for the Fedipaint Zorn Palette challenge, but he was a fun exercise in mixing colours. It's surprising to me how the yellow + black comes together to give him a sickly green complexion, but it works.

A gnoll with greenish yellow skin. He has red hair and wears a mix of leather and red cloth. He stands brandishing an axe and shield.

Looking at the back gnoll with greenish yellow skin. His red hair extends down his back to meet his leather belt.

The Cultist Firebrand is the other model I started for #fedipaint. I used the same paints as I did on the marauder that I entered, but added some metallic paints to fit in with my other cultists, as well as some fluorescent orange for the flame and the base […]

I actually have two miniatures under way for #fedipaint but we'll see if I actually finish either of them tonight after work. Both are very sketch style so unlikely to be of any special note anyway...

There's a couple of important hobby projects I need to finish by the end of the month and my […]

Pig wizard? Porcine shaman?

No, he's a Boarcerer.

Lovely sculpt from Dragon Bait and fun to paint for the #FediPaint challenge using just the #Zorn palette.

Starting the #fedipaint #Zorn challenge. Been a while since I did this limited palette, and looking forward to getting a few nice models finished up from Dragon Bait as part of it.

WIP for a Zorn palette themed challenge over on Fedi. Was struggling a bit with the limited palette but starting to really enjoy it now. Might repurpose it into a #Mordheim Lich...

Incredible mini by @knucklebonesminis.bsky.social, of course.

[Gore (miniature)]

This week's plan was to start my #fedipaint entry but I only got as far as priming that before someone asked if I wanted a game of #trenchcrusade at my FLGS. I needed a merc to fill out my warband and I had a couple of spare Sin Eaters printed […]

For those #nerdlings curious about the #zornpalette for the current #fedipaint edition: this is an example of the range of colours

A range of colours mixed from yellow ochre to cadmium red medium to Ivory black. 120 squares with different colours. I'm sorry you can't see it because it's all nicely muted and calm and goes from warm red to cool grey too ice cold black

Decided to have a crack at Fedipaint this time around. This is my first mini painted up using the Zorn Palette.

It's been an interesting figuring out how to mix the colours I need using just the four base colours. Its taken a bit of fiddling, and getting the […]

Started painting up some of my many #tyranids – primed and undercoated with a vague drybrush for now, but honestly considering just leaving them pastel pink at this point...
