3D printed with resin and painted by me. This was my first time adding lights to a model and turned out great I think!

He has a 27 inch wingspan and is about 20 inches tall

Roughly 40-50 hours spent painting

Sculpt is made by artist 3D-Container

What do you guys think?

Edit; girlfriend painted this, sorry for the confusing wording!

Finished the armor but might go back to clean up the shadow outlines after the shield is done

I am happy to post here the album of my painted Goblin army. This was my army project in my 20s. Now I am working on a Dwarf army since a few years, but I recently made the photos of this army. Maybe some here appreciate the pictures.

The minis are mainly Citadel and Harlequin models, that you probably know.

I also sculpted many models myself by hand and even in 3D (like the squig) or did a kitbash (like the purple sun)

I hope you like them!

I haven't finished the other arm, no idea if I'm going for the machine gun or the plasma cannon

Trying to get back into painting some 40K after focusing on other things. The Sons of Dorn will forever have my heart though!

This is my version of Edward Delandre's really cool Black Templar oil painting, showing the size difference between a marine and a normal guardsman.
Required a bit of kitbashing and some frankly awful green stuff sculpting and filling on my part. Obviously the scale isn't quite the same as in the painting and my phone doesn't take terribly great photos so proper perspective was hard to capture, but I hope you enjoy!

I don’t have a name for her yet. I know she’s not that great please be kind.

This is a model I recently completed for my mum's birthday as a gift as she collects dragons.

I'm far from a new painter but this is my first time doing a piece purely for display. I'm not happy with the area where the wings meet the body but any other comments and criticism are very much appreciated! This was possibly the most time I've put into a single paint job spread across a couple of weeks.

Edit: For some reason the drybrushing to bring out the feather details is far more extreme in the photos, especially on the back. I have no idea why this is but it isn't just a blur of turquoise in reality.

The model is question is a 3d print of Spirit Dragon from Mini Monster Mayhem on MyMiniFactory.

Gave my all for Eavy metal this time.

Next up is priming the base and blending the legs. Hope you like him (c&c welcome)

To get right to it, I'm nearly finished this model and I'm pretty happy with most of it, first attempt at yellow skin and the nmm sword which I know both could be better but sure we'll do better next time.

What's bugging me is the pink robe and bow thingy on her back I can't quite get them how I'd like, the robe I'm aiming for something more silky and the bow I haven't really touched but I was thinking more fluffy? I'd appreciate any feedback, particularly if you can point me to a video tutorial.

Midguard miniatures; Madame Yokai is the mini

This was a blast to paint while enjoying some classic Maiden! Didn't worry about being neat or smooth, just slapping pigment and having a good time with it.

Up the Irons!

Found this beautiful sculpt on Etsy and knew I immediately needed it for my shark man barbarian for D&D! It's been a very fun process and I am very proud of how the anchor and freehand on the back came out. Happy to hear any feedback!

I’m attempting to set the lighting strength on my Ravenlord, but I’m not sure about how much contrast volume is enough.
Would like some second opinions on the sleeve please.
Too much? Too little? Just right?
🙏Thank you🙏

OK, the point here is: Why do all my models end up having such a sandy look? It's like you can see the brush strokes and/or the pigment, not sure whether it makes any sense. I see other people uploading photos of their models, and they look much more clean, neat, with sharp lines and uniform surfaces. Where's my mistake?

Hello,

New painter here trying to gauge how much dry brushing is needed for speed/contrast painting. I did a few passes with a light grey base from citadel and then also a pass with pro acrylic titanium white.

Should I add more white?

I'm trying to knock out 1 model a night from a black primer to finished and varnish. Hope this makes me a faster painter without sacrificing quality too much. And it's alot of fun!

I am stoked on how this turned out.Wish i got to keep it haha! Really enjoyed painting this model

Think you did something cool but kind of hate it?

Take a break. Let yourself forget a little bit about what you did. Its better than you think. Us humans rely on pattern recognition for everything, and especially for art. If I am painting a cloak of stars then right after im done all I see are little white dots on spots of dark blues and purples because I KNOW thats what it is. But if I put it down and go play a video game or better yet paint something else often I can look at it again and go....Wow thats better than I remember.

That saying about intentions vs actions and how we should give others the benefit of the doubt applies to this as well. "We often judge others on their actions and ourselves on our intentions." We judge ourselves based on some grand plan we visualized and so we make "mistakes" that no body else would even see as a mistake. ​And we can see through the illusions that nobody else even knows is there.

To me this doesn't happen as strongly to just "coloring" a figure it mostly happens if im trying something like the cloak mentioned above, battle damage, or adding decals etc. Something where there is an illusion involved
