Test base for my Mar Sara basing idea for my Starcraft minis. Thin cork paintes to look like pavement and texture paste to look like roads.
Shoulder pad on a specter squad mini. Currently painted purple and is blank. Idk what to put there. Its pretty small, so regular decals might be to big.
Side by side of my specter squad mini and the synthwave Tyranid.
Front of a specter squad mini in my current synthwave color scheme.
Front of a Grenadiner, from the Specter Squad Kill Team. I dont like the name but the mini looks like a Banksy.
A shot of my painting desk with two Webcam setup. One over the painting area, a second over the wet pallet.
Collection of paints that fit a similar style or hue? Not sure the specific art term. Point is they fit the synthwave style i have been doing recently. Different blues, some greens, and a red added to the mix.
The Red Terror is complete! A synthwave or Whimdark style with blues for the fleshy bits, purple for the carapace, and orange and yellow for the talons. I am very proud of myself on this mini, taking my idea or scheme from previous minis and upping the scale. Plus some decent blending for me. Overall very happy with it :)
Close up of my completed Red Terror. I think its pretty cool.
Paints I used for the synthwave Red Terror: Blues: Deep Blue, Cantabric Blue, Med. Blue, Sky Blue- all Scale 75 Wild Violet- Reaper Warlord Purple- Vallejo GC Dark Hot Pink- Pro AC Orange Red- Vallejo MC Gold Yellow- Vallejo GC Ice Yellow- Vallejp MC Bold Titanium White- Pro AC
Close up of the Red Terror's face. The teeth, tongue, and horns are bright with a purple carapace.
Close up of a synthwave talon of the Red Terror. Magenta to yellow and blending pretty decent if I say so myself.
Back of the Red Terror from kill team. The carapace is painted in a purple to orange synthwave style.
Front view of The Red Terror named Tyranid. Blue skin and purple carapace as part of my synthwave style.
Side view of a Tyranid from Warhammer 40k. Its painted in a synthwave scheme with purples on the scales and blues for the flesh.
A Tyranid painted with blue skin and synthwave purple armor.
A blue space marine holding a pride flag while giving a thumbs up.
Front shot of Ghazhkull with a touched up face and work on his right leg.
Additional work on synthwave Ghazhkull. Face area is painted along with the left arm.
Close up shot of Ghazhkulls face and area around said face. The skin is green, but not sure if it fits with the synthwave vibe. Not neon enough. Idk. I am trying to not use neon or fluorescent paints exactly. Does that make sense? We will get there.
Close up on my wip of Ghazhkull in a synthwave scheme. One shoulder pad is kinda done. Well done for today. We will see what happens over time and how the mini evolves.
A mini of Ghazhkull Thraka, a ork from Warhammer 40k. He is basecoated with a airbrush in purple and pink, the start of a synthwave color scheme. I hope it will look similar to my Baharroth mini in the end. Idk, just cant seem to get my motivation going so let's follow the emperors guidance and see what happens.
The front of a mini of The Defect from Slay the Spire the board game. That was a mouthful. It is basecoated in a yellowish brown and blue.
Completed mini of Baharroth in a Magenta to yellow synthwave style. Some areas of blue can be found on cloth and the base. I am so damn proud of myself. Not only did I stick with it, the amount of detail I painted surpassed any past projects of mine. Easily one of the best minis I have ever painted.
Close-up of the back of Baharroth, mostly the sword. It is painting dark pink to yellow and actually looks pretty good all things considered. Edge highlights will need touching up, but that's due to working different faces. Basically it's easier to do all the edges at once at the very end. Anyway, I am kinda proud of myself.
Front of a Baharroth mini from Warhammer 40k. The mini is painting with a purple to yellow synthwave scheme. Also some blues are found on cloth.
Baharroth mini with armor painted from a purple to pink synthwave style. Underneath the armor the layer is dark blue to bright blue in the same style. Wings are pink to yellow.
Wide shot of my synthwave Baharroth. Wing is Magenta to yellow with purple to Magenta on the armor.
A painted leg of the Aeldari mini Baharroth. The armor is a purple to pink while the other area is dark to bright blue. Kinda synthwave or vaporswave style.
A picture of Jigglypuff, the best Pokémon. I will take zero questions because Jigglypuff is the best.
A painted miniature of Da Red Gobbo. I think it was from 2023. Maybe 2024. Anyway. The mini is from the front with a stick of dynamite painted similar to that of fruit stripe gum, but it is lit. Da Red Gobbo is standing on a chimney top snickering as if he is going to drop the stick down the chimney. Its pretty silly and fun. Oh there is a bag of toys next to the chimney. It was a fun mini to paint. I hope you enjoyed my description if you read it.
Baharroth, a Aeldari mini from Warhammer 40k. He is built and primed purple.
Similar to how nintendo announces a direct, a red background with a arrow pointing right. Inside the arrow it says 'bruh'.
A work in progress of the Penmunbral Engine, a terrain feature for Age of sigmar. I looks like similar to a gyroscope with several axis rather than just one. I bought is since it looks cool as I don't play or collect Age of Sigmar models.
A collage of 9 different images. The center is a silly picture of my face with magnifying glasses on. The other 8 are minis I painted over the course of this year including: Kill team comminication devices, the overgourd from reaper minis, the Demigods of Athena and Ares, a pumpkin knight, statue of Saint Celestine, Bluey as a Space Marine, and a Baby Dragon painting a small egg. I am pretty proud of myself.
Completed terrain from Warhammer 40k. The set is the Volkus killzone and is painted and weathered. Walls are mostly gray, bronze window frames with Verdigris, iron trim that is rusted, and blue pipes.
A built mini of Zeratul, a Protoss character, from the Starcraft Minis Game. Zeratul is standing dynamic over the head of a zerg with 1 psy blade out. Think of Protoss as kinda like a mix of different flavors of Eldar and Zerg as Tyranids.
Two communication devices from Warhammer 40k kill team.
The front of a miniature communication device similar to that of world war two. It had a radar screen, buttons, radio dial, and speaker. On top are two antenna, one with a ring the other and small satellite dish. They are painted silver with black weathering.
Image of the communication token from Warhammer 40k Kill Team. The mini is in the style of a old communication device seen in world wars with 2 antenna, one with a ring at the top, the other a small satellite dish. The device is green with wear and tear.
A statue of saint Celestine from Warhammer 40k. The statue is painted bronze with a large degree if verdigris.
Miniature statue from the game warhammer 40k. The statue is Saint Celestine with a torch in one hand, sword in the other. She is also shown with angelic wings and hovering over a pile of skulls. This part of the statue is a weathered bronze with green vertebrae
A miniature from Reaper minis similar to a beholder from Dungeons and Dragons. Vines rise from the base holding up a center pumpkin with one large eye and large month with many teeth. Surrounding the center pumpkin are vines holding up 10 additional pumpkins.
Image of Thanos from Avengers Infinity War on the planet Titan. The reality stone is glowing and a caption reads "They called me a madman."
A picture of the overgourd mini from reaper. It is similar to a Beholder from dungeons and dragons, but Pumpkins. Only the center Pumpkin has an eye. The stalks are vines and look similar to jackolanterns. I am pretty proud of this mini. I do hope people like it or at least feel it fits in with the Halloween season. I am trying and not sure how well its actually going.
Image of the Pokémon jugglypuff. I love the puff because it is cute and sure to be cuddly. Also a Pokémon who can get you you sleep? Think about that for a second before you laugh. That's right. A good night sleep AND a cute cuddly Pokémon? Hell yeah.
A Pumpkin creature held up by vines. Similar to a Beholder but a Pumpkin with 1 Eye in the center and 10 smaller ones around the center on.
Image of a mini from the front. The mini is designed to be a stone Golem, but is painted like the classic look of Frankensteins monster. Green skin metal on head. Pants are more of a kilt and are gray.
