One of my coworkers asked me how I paint such tiny miniatures and I responded “I just keep making smaller and smaller mistakes until the mistakes are small enough for me to live with”

So I made the unwise decision to buy into another tactical skirmish minis game, but I had so much fun painting it that I can’t regret it.

You’ve heard of truth in advertising, but here’s irony in advertising

You’ve heard of a red tide, but this is an oranges tide! #dadjoke

More #DragonElcipse minis, this time the Furwing. Not my favorite to date, as it’s got a rather bichromatic color palette, and the wings were really hard to paint the undersides of…

Whew! Real life kept me away for a bit, here’s the Young Bolb from #DragonEclipse. I love him so much even if he’s just giving off giant korok energy.

Who lives in a pineapple with a big stick? ITS A FIRPLE!

I’m seriously proud of how that pineapple came out though.

Here’s the player marker from #DragonEclipse painted up. I read once that some game (Mass Effect maybe?) tracked the used skin tones and how few were dark, so I decided to go for a tone that could read lighter or darker here.

The last of the #DragonEclipse starters, we have the young iceling here! I originally used a blue that was too saturated, and had to switch back to a grayer, icier one.

Another #DragonEclipse mini, the Young Emberling. If I have a strength as a painter, it’s in painting fire 🔥.

And with two minis painted, I got to start the tutorial mission for #DragonEclipse. My first impression is positive, it’s easy to set up and take five minute breaks from life to play around with the plot, and combat is a nice puzzle.

My second #DragonEclipse mini: Windraiser. I’ve decided to paint these with just ProAcryl paints, which I adore but there are some gaps so it’s pushing me to mix paint more than I generally do. There’s a great thread in BGG with the order to paint in!

First completed mini from #DragonEclipse from Awaken Realms: Young Luminesca. I’ve been largely painting #MarvelCrisisProtocol recently and this is a breath of fresh from painting humans all the time! Plus… it made me buy glitter paint.
