Hi all, I've recently started painting some of my minis (finally) and also got some friends to help. Below I'll show everything thats been done so far, before likely making a showoff thread for the done done ones (some are aaalmost there, need a few more touches.

 

My Work: (2nd mini ever):

77503 Temple Dragon : - I wanted to do some complimentary color on him but couldn't quite decide where. First thought was underbelly and underside of wings, but glued together the underbelly is incredibly hard to paint. I was also considering the larger left and right spines down the  middle and/or maybe just the bones/claws that extend from the wings(bone color?)

He seems to photograph better than he looks in standard light, hes a bit dark, so without lighting for taking a picture distinguishing much on him is not all that easy.

77506 Kobolds (6): (3rd mini ever) I am trying to somewhat emulate the Kobolds painted on the Bones 4 page ( https://www.reapermini.com/bones4 )

Just starting on them, got a darker skin tone and tried dry brushing over with a lighter, but its hard to keep it localized on such a tiny mini. Painting these seems like it's going to get more frustrating than it is rewarding.. :/

Trying to do linen white for the cloth with maybe a sepia wash over it, then steel for the armor with a black wash

Friend 1's WIPs: (He's painted minis before)

77492 Behir: I think he's planning on touching up the mouth area

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

77494 Dire Bear:  I think he wants to differentiate the fur a little more, it's a bit too uniform

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

77496 Eilluvasheth, Succubus Queen - Wings look great - I think he's not sure how exactly to translate the color scheme/design to the body

Love it!

 

The Behir is my favorite!

[chaoshead]

Yup, I like the Behir as well.

 

Hopefully it is not too long before it is released to the public.

Thanks for the comments guys!

 

Any ideas/suggestions on adding a color to the Temple Dragon?

First of all I think he looks great as is.

 

But if you want to add more...I would paint the nails/claws and the spikes in a bright red or a shiny black.
