Finally Completed the Super Dungeon Explore Base Game

[aricclark]

It took me about 8 months to complete my Super Dungeon Explore Set. I was excited enough about this to build a lightbox and try to take proper photos of them. I had only painted maybe two dozen minis or so before I started this project so you can definitely see my skill improve over the course of the project. You can see all the photos on my flickr, but I've put a few of my favorite below. Comment. Criticize. Hurl broken glass. Whatever seems appropriate.

Love how you started with the white wolf-bear-thing, and the next image is someone wearing it like a cloak

[Carnacki the Ghost Finder]

Those are great -- love the eyes!

Actually, it's the druid character and his animal form, he transforms between them during the game.

Really nice to see these done up, I should get around to painting my set (and getting the Von Drak expansion).

You did a great job on the eyes, and I like your Glimmerdusk Ranger a heck of a lot more than mine.

 

I just have to paint Starfire and Rockgut and my SDE collection will be fully painted -- including Van Drak's Manor, Caverns of Roxxor, Vandalla, and the Herald of Vulcanis.

Yeah, anime eyes are a blast to paint. What I did:

 

Paint the whole bed black. Fill the bed with white leaving only a very thin line of black at the edge. Paint a large circle of the color you want for the iris. On a few of them I then drew thin lines in a darker shade of that color radiating from the center. Paint a black pupil. Then place light spots in white as desired.

 

The big blue eyes of the hatchlings were especially fun. They're so cute! They'll eat your face!
