This guy was fun to paint and learned a lot... of course, I made it twice as hard for myself by trying to do it with uv reactive paints (mixed with Reaper paints of course) Did you know most spray finishes are uv resistant? I didn't until I sprayed the tongue and had to paint that part all over again. Luckily that was the first part I finished!

First post here! I've been painting minis for about two years now, and after recently painting up a warband for Frostgrave, I've been trying to improve my techniques. Which leads me to the Dark Watcher! Loved this sculpt, and any beholder kin. I liked the stalagmite base, but I wanted this guy to be free range, so I made a floating base for him with a model sprue and an extra base. And now for my secret shame... Still using fifty cent craft paints! I've occasionally got to use "real" paints through friends, and maybe some magical day I'll acquire some, but in the meantime I've done what I can to try to make the models look good with what I have. I've seen a lot of great paintjobs here that were inspiring, so hopefully someone gets a kick out of my discount paintwork!

Howdy, Dark watcher uses... Halitosis! Kev!
