Commissioned: Oni of Hate, from Rising Sun. Could have made the flames a little more contrasty for sure. More lighter yellows and whites. It was taking too long though, needed to wrap it up. Any c&c appreciated.

After quite some time, I've finally finished up the first batch of "Rising Sun" minis. They're wonderful sculpts with lots of tiny details. I tried to keep their colors matching to the board game colors (even though the art shows them in totally different outfits) These are also my first minis photographed in front of the 3D printed Caverns set from Printable Scenery as a backdrop.

My best paint job yet, quite proud, for a beginner.

Damn you highlights!

So, I'm not gonna lie. At least half the reason I backed the Rising Sun kickstarter last year was simply to get my hands on this miniature. It was gorgeous, and I've been itching to paint up an Oriental lung dragon. Back in the heady days of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition, I got into RPGs, and the Monster Manual portrayed the Gold Dragons as the serpentine, Oriental dragon types, and I have always felt a strong level of appreciation for that aesthetic specifically for the gold dragon. I got the KS about two weeks ago, have already played it twice with friends, and having finished my massive T'Raukzul, I decided to go ahead and paint the monsters from the Rising Sun core game. I knocked it out in 2 days. Enjoy, and I'm happy to hear about where I could improve.

Another mini painted for my friend's Rising Sun Campaign. A totally tubular surfer dude, just missing his board.
