Popular Post Kyra Taryn Posted February 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hi there, I'm new to mini painting within the last year or so, and since I have some decent photos now I thought I'd come here and share what I've done so far. I didn't want to invest in all of the paints specifically for mini painting so I've just been using some old Liquitex artist acrylics that I had from high school. I was pretty nervous about it at first, but it's been working out pretty well. This one was the first mini I did for my boyfriend (human bard). 60192: Salim Ghadafar This was the second I did for my first D&D character (wood elf rogue). 60092: Cleric of Calistria This is for my other D&D character from a different campaign (aasimar warlock, Raven Queen patron). I'm actually about to start on a second one for her when she's in her fallen aasimar necrotic shroud. That one will be my first conversion as I'm adding the wings from the bone devil mini. I'm hoping it goes well! 03337: Terezinya, Bone Pander Wizard And this is the latest one I did for a friend in our first campaign (human paladin). 03829: Crusader Swordsman (Sword or Flail) I'd love to hear any feedback anyone might have. Thanks! 44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Palmer Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Great job! And welcome to the forums! No shame in using the Liquitex stuff. There are a number of mini painters who like to use that. Use what works for you, not what you (or others) think is supposed to be "right". Personally, I like using mostly the Craft Store "cheap" acrylics for my mini painting. It's what I started with decades ago, and it's what I've grown used to and developed my style around. That all being said, I encourage you to try several different kinds of paints to find what works best for you as an artist.

Glitterwolf Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Welcome to the Forum! Great work! Whatever kind of paint/brushes work for you is fine, as long as fun is had! If you see text on this forum in purple, it is meant as a joke/irony. Have fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrik Strom Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I really like the Crusader. It's not fair that you can grasp and execute non metallic metal within a year of painting! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat13 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 2 hours ago, Patrik Strom said: I really like the Crusader. I must agree, the crusader looks very good especially for your first year. You should be wary, with a first year like that there will be jealousy. All jokes aside it looks like you're well on your way, welcome to the forum.

redambrosia Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I don't believe these are newbie minis! They're way too nice! Clearly using those old liquitex paints is working for you. As they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! (though, as Chris Palmer says, trying other paints is fun ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
