Jacin's Painted (DnD) Miniatures

[JacinLarkwell]

I've recently started painting miniatures for DnD (although I'm sure I'll have some that aren't technically for DnD at some point that I add to the collection) and want a place to show them off.

I'll have to break mine out and take pics. I painted mine a very long time ago, so they're not as vibrant as they used to be, but they still have a lot of detail.

This was the one that started my current obsession. I've collected the dice for over 2 years now, but not miniatures until my brother got me one for Christmas. She's an Owlbear, and I based her off of a cardinal. Her top beak is busted, something that happened before she was packaged, but I ended up painting it to just be crooked, like she was chasing a player and ran full force into a tree.

Started and finished this duo today. Been getting one mini a day done about, although the smaller ones are easier to do multiples of.

These are ones I've liked for a long time, Redcaps have been one of my more minor favorites in the fae lore irl, and when I saw them at the store, I threw them in my basket that minute

Cool! They look good, I'm impressed! I have several board games that have miniatures, but as much as I dislike playing with unpainted minis I'm too scared I'll make them look worse with any painting attempts. If I thought I could paint as well as you do I'd go out and get some paints tomorrow.

This Trio was from last night. They're juvenile Griffins, so I painted them each as juvenile eaglets. A typical Bald Eagle, a Harpy Eagle and a Javan Hawk Eagel

To be honest, I painted Ceramics for years in 4H, so I've had some practice. A lot of these also have several coats that cover spots that got messed up. Nice tools also make a world of difference. Much easier to do eyes with a spotting tool than a tiny brush

I still need to do a final gloss coat on everyone too. So they won't be looking as matte as they are right now

Keep in mind that these are old. I painted them probably close to 30 years ago. They have faded and chipped some.
