❤️ the way this ogre came out. I sketched & blended him: painted a zenithal highlight, applied the paint in a paint by numbers style, & then blended it all together. Highlighted it again w/white & then a diluted skin color for a bright look. Fear the ogre with no scars! 😂 My fave paint job so far.

A color swatch of #Createx Airbrush Colors, a line of transparent paints, which of course can be applied with an #airbrush or #paint brush. Paint a zenithal or underpainting and then apply these paints. Way better than contrast paints!

Perhaps super boring, but when unsure which metallics and which paints to mix, test it out. The two silvers are #Molotow silver and #Vallejo silver. The paints are mostly #Golden #SoFlat Payne’s grey and Pyrrole red, #Createx transparent brite red, #DalerRowney flame red #ink, and Vallejo red ink.

Finished in my fourth session, my first #40k mini. At 28 mm, no airbrush, practiced my blending. Paint info in alt text of photos. You can see the difference between an unpainted base and a painted one. #warhammer #ultramarine #nerdlings #minipainting #miniature #minis #minipainting #spacemarine
A 28 mm scale ultramarine painted with Kimera Kolors. Base coat was violet, midtones were samurai green (sort of a permanent green) mixed with violet, then highlights of that mix with sun ray (a pale yellow), and the highest highlights were that mix with sun ray and the white. Glazes of ultramarine blue were also used to smooth the colors. Skulls were based in ground brown, then bone khaki, then cloudy sky. The ribbons/oath seals were based in oxide brown dark, then red oxide, then the red, and then highlights of orange. Front view. A 28 mm scale ultramarine painted with Kimera Kolors.

One side of a sword painted as if it were made of solid lava. There are yellows, oranges, and reds signifying glowing lava with bits of black as if the edges of the sword and floating bits were significantly cooled. The hilt has been painted like bone, the handle like aged bone, and the end is a black stone like onyx, edge highlighted in a blue-grey. The hand has been painted, with most of it heavily in shadow.

Painted 2 cars for a #CarWars #campaign. Strange not to paint #minis but fun and instructional nonetheless! See alt text for paint info. #Molotow #One4All #goldensoflat #soflat #stevejacksongames #wip #golden #highflowacrylics #art #hotwheels #matchboxcar
A miniature muscle car from the Car Wars game painted with a metallic dark blue and flames on the hood and roof. The car sports lots of exhaust pipes, two pairs of black painted laser guns, a pair of black painted heavy machine guns, and what looks like either four launching ports or exhaust ports in the back. The engine sticks up above the hood and appears to be a v8. Front view from above. Fourth session: mostly just touch ups and error correction. Third session: refined the flames and guns (add SoFlat Pale Yellow and Kimera Orange, glazed guns with SoFlat Phthalo Blue Green Shade), painted exhausts and hubcaps with Molotow silver (One4All refill), painted engine with Vallejo gunmetal mixed with Daler Rowney Black Ink. Grill was Molotow silver mixed with the Phthalo Blue or Golden High Flow Acrylic Prussian Blue. Just the windshield and perhaps some weathering left! This second session: painted the tires and guns with a mix of Golden So Flat black and white. Blocked in the colors for flames on the hood and roof, no blending done yet but obviously still needed. Used Golden SoFlat pyrrole red, cadmium orange, and permanent yellow deep. First session: Though I experimented a bit with Molotow paints, the airbrush, and a gradient like the other car in this post, I eventually painted it entirely with Molotow silver, which is incredible. It’s got tiny mica flakes, is super bright, runs through an airbrush like a dream, and cleans easily from the airbrush. On top of that I applied a Golden high flow acrylic Prussian blue hue paint, which is transparent and so the car looks like it’s been painted with a metallic dark blue.

Largely painted sports car sporting two mounted missiles and two light guns. There is a gradient from purple at the bottom towards magenta/pink at the top. The missiles are painted from a dark to very light blue. The rack that mounts the gins and missile is paint an aqua colored metallic. The entire palette is reminiscent of synthwave, very Miami Vice in appearance. This photo is a front view from above, taken with black light so the fluorescent pinks and blues glow. Third and final session: painted taillights. Outer lights were painted with Golden SoFlats cadmium red dark towards the bottom and a mix of the same line’s cadmium red light and fluorescent red. The inner lights were painted with Golden SoFlat cadmium red light towards the bottom and cadmium orange towards the top. Emblem on the rear was painted with Molotow One4All (refill) silver. Windshield was a mix of Golden SoFlat cerulean blue hue and a dark gray made of SoFlat black and white, then medium phthalo blue mixed into it until finally it was white with a touch of the medium phthalo blue. The guns were layered with shades of grey and then were glazed with thin filter of SoFlat phthalo blue. Edge highlighted selected areas with white and then SoFlat fluorescent pink on it. Second session: repainted the whole thing with Golden SoFlat dioxazine violet deep, then their blue violet, red violet, quinacridone magenta, then naphthol pink, and finally fluorescent pink. The missile and gun rack was Molotow One4All silver mixed with Daler Rowney marine blue ink. Missiles were Golden SoFlat Payne’s gray, then their blue violet, cerulean blue, and cobalt teal. Them applied some white with Golden High Flow Acrylic fluorescent blue on top of that. Still need to do the windshield, tires, hubcaps, tail lights, and guns. First session: airbrushed a gradient of Molotow One4All purple violet, then their purple, true blue, and shock blue middle. Then from above, Golden High Flow Acrylic teal.

Some of this stuff is posted on my page, but the #Bullywug isn’t. The Bullywug is the third mini I painted after my hobby hibernation. I’ve posted the water #wizard who was the fifth mini I painted after the hibernation, and I’ve posted many WIPs of the #Valkyrie and #abominations.
shadowcat24.bsky.social Shadowcat24 @shadowcat24.bsky.social · Nov 7
You see pictured here a #Valkyrie from #TheChoice from #Scale75 (from before their shenanigans were known), a water #wizard from #WizKids, a #bullywug, and #abominations from the #HeroQuest board game which includes a #WIP.
Four shots of a winged Valkyrie hovering over the prow of a Viking shipwreck that is crashed on some rocks. There are tumultuous waves that drop into three small waterfalls into a pool. The Valkyrie is wearing a magenta overskirt and skirt, aqua armor, a red gem at her midriff and chest, Carrie’s a spear, and has wings in a blue to green gradient. She is pointing straight ahead at the viewer. A water wizard wearing robes of various shades of blue trimmed in yellow. He stands on a beach and is carrying a staff in one hand and firing a spell that looks like a water fireball from the other. Four shots of three different abominations from the HeroQuest board game. One is blue, one is green, and there is a work in progress that is red. They are the same miniature and they all carry a stylized spear. They were all painted with a limited palette of split primaries, except for the true metallic metal of their armor and spearhead.

First session: airbrushed a gradient of Molotow One4All purple violet, then their purple, true blue, and shock blue middle. Then from above, Golden High Flow Acrylic teal. Largely painted sports car sporting two mounted missiles and two light guns. There is a gradient from purple at the bottom towards magenta/pink at the top. The missiles are painted from a dark to very light blue. The rack that mounts the gins and missile is paint an aqua colored metallic. The entire palette is reminiscent of synthwave, very Miami Vice in appearance. Rear view from above. Second session: repainted the whole thing with Golden SoFlat dioxazine violet deep, then their blue violet, red violet, quinacridone magenta, then naphthol pink, and finally fluorescent pink.

#Painting for a #CarWars #campaign. 4th session with the dark metallic blue muscle car. Painted windshield. Alt text for paint info. #airbrush #Molotow #One4All #goldensoflat #soflat #stevejacksongames #wip #golden #highflowacrylics #art #hotwheels #matchboxcar
A miniature muscle car from the Car Wars game crudely painted with a metallic dark blue. The car sports lots of exhaust pipes, two pairs of black painted laser guns, a pair of black painted heavy machine guns, and what looks like either four launching ports or exhaust ports in the back. The engine sticks up above the hood and appears to be a v8. Front view from the (US) driver’s side. This fourth session: painted the windshield Golden SoFlat cerulean hue mixed with SoFlat phthalo blue green shade mixed with a bit of dark grey. The glazed up with SoFlat medium phthalo blue, then added some white and ultra matte medium to thin it and glaze easier. Then white with some medium blue on the corners of the windshield. Third session: refined the flames and guns (add SoFlat Pale Yellow and Kimera Orange, glazed guns with SoFlat Phthalo Blue Green Shade), painted exhausts and hubcaps with Molotow silver (One4All refill), painted engine with Vallejo gunmetal mixed with Daler Rowney Black Ink. Grill was Molotow silver mixed with the Phthalo Blue or Golden High Flow Acrylic Prussian Blue. Just the windshield and perhaps some weathering left! Second session: painted the tires and guns with a mix of Golden So Flat black and white. Blocked in the colors for flames on the hood and roof, no blending done yet but obviously still needed. Used Golden SoFlat pyrrole red, cadmium orange, and permanent yellow deep. First session: Though I experimented a bit with Molotow paints, the airbrush, and a gradient like the other car in this post, I eventually painted it entirely with Molotow silver, which is incredible. It’s got tiny mica flakes, is super bright, runs through an airbrush like a dream, and cleans easily from the airbrush. On top of that I applied a Golden high flow acrylic Prussian blue hue paint, which is transparent and so the car looks like it’s been painted with a metallic dark blue.

A miniature sports car from the Car Wars game crudely painted with a gradient from purple at the bottom to a light cyan on top. The car sports two light machine guns and a pair of rocket launchers. Front view from the passenger side of the car. All paints are Molotow unless specified. First a coat of black was applied as a primer, then purple violet was applied as a base coat, then purple, true blue, and then shock blue middle. Then Golden high flow acrylic teal was applied from above. A miniature sports car from the Car Wars game crudely painted with a gradient from purple at the bottom to a light cyan on top.

I’ve posted this many times in many forums so I’ll do so here. You can make a paint transparent by mixing it with medium. Get some #Golden or #Liquitex medium (or any brand) in the finish you want (eg matte or glossy) and mix in a bit of paint. Medium is colorless, pigmentless paint. Enjoy! #art
