@Pochi - wow wow wow! I didn't know you only started painting in 2015!!! Last be your work!

Thank you! I have always liked to draw, color, and have dabbled in painting both oil and acrylics on canvas. I started playing D&D and asked how to get miniatures and a friend pulled up Reaper's online store and I then discovered the forums! I think I joined the forums in May 2015. I think these forums are about the nicest place on the internet! This is my escape!

 

@DaemonDoesMinis Those are fantastic!

 

I love this thread!

It's nice to see how everyone has improved since they started. I started painting in 1988. I tought I had parted from the first model I paited back in a day but it was hiding, in ambush, at the bottom of a box. So, here it is, one of the first if not the very first miniature I painted it is a Ral Partha 03-081, Thief with longsword in ambush. It has been damaged after all the fight it had dwelling down the box of oblivion. By looking at the picture I also realised that was before I lurned anything about washes.

I probably painted 200 miniatures since then. My latest work are Dark Sword Miniatures, Critter Kingdoms DSM8035, Hamster Knight with Spear and DSM8025, Hamster Thief. For now my favorite will have to be the 02712, Eyebeast I recently painted and 03484, Karlov Diedrich the wizard I painted in feb. 2014.

You look like you started off pretty good! Dude you had dots in your eyes!

 

But yeah, your work has only become more and more impressive

Oooh this is a fun thread!  I started painting when I got my Bones 2 KS shipment, soooo 2015?  I am terribly, terribly slow... I've only painted a dozen or so minis since, so dont have a lot of pics to pick from (and I dont have a great photography environment too boot...) but here's the first two mini's I did in prep for my bones 2 shipment: 

 

...drybrush and black wash... never too much drybrush and black wash!  :rolleyes:

Fortunately I've finally figured out that drybrushing and black wash are NOT universally required lol...

This is a great topic! It's really fun to see how everyone has progressed. These are not really comparable since they are different scales, but still, they show a bit of a difference.

 

The first one is probably my third mini. I was super proud that I had gotten the eyes in the wizard's head and a red dot on the wand.

 

Maybe 12 years after, here is one of my latest: a bust by FeR miniatures. I hope you like them!

 

Edit: Oops, the order got swapped. Oh, well, I think you can figure out which is which...
