@bgcdazzler and Archarad: You both can clearly see how good you are at painting, with only a few miniatures at your back. Awesome future await you both ;)

@Tero: That's what I told every begginer I see worried and ashamed of his own "begginer" work. Pitty you left them go, anyways you got some golden reminders of what you are capable to do ^^

@SaintToad: Thank you for sharing that bit of story with me too, I am always happy to met people that has a "bind" with my old beloved mithrils. Just for you to know, all of them have a reference on the base, so you can identify them pretty fast if you are interested in someone in particular just tell me it's reference and I'll help you out. ;) Oh! and I was forgetting to say that, incredibly, they (Mithril) are still in the business of making miniatures (at a super slow pace though)

@Oistene: I forgot to answer you... I totally agree on the water. It is a bit of nonsense because water flows in all directions, If I finally prepare a little diorama for her I may exclude this part. It would be grat to have her stepping over the stones of a natural bathing area with some bamboos over the back. Will need to check if I have the skills to do so xD

I also wanted to share this interesting blog entry at Arcane paintworks.

They talk about colour theory, so its interesting for all of us who are still learning to mute/shadow colours with their opposite in the colour wheel. This could sound like a basic thing, but I just started to do it this very year, sooo lots to learn and practice!!

Wow your Samurai girl is really nice! The freehand is stunning! I also really like the metallics on the sword and scabbard.

Thanks a lot Demi!! It is a big miniature 21cm height or so, so plenty of room to move hands and brushes around.

At last I painted a bit, this time I got a nice company with me, and my wife Sandra painted a bit too!! ^^

Here are my results on the Arcadia Quest first miniatures....

View attachment 44597 She is Diva a heavy armoured warrior! This is what I got with 10-11 hours of work !! I think I am superslowww lol working my way throught the contrast path!!

Following her came one of the goblins, there are 5 more ;_(
View attachment 44598 I want to paint them similar but I will try to give each one of them his own personality... This being the first time I paint a real greenskin trying to apply some of the things I learned lurking around in these forums ^^ I also wanted to paint the six of them in a line (just as if they were part of an army) but I couldn't resist doing the first one alone... he called me xD

Now a picture of the line waiting for the bus to come...

Here you will see the rest of the miniatures that came with the game:
View attachment 44600 Hoping my will to be strong enough to paint all of these LOL Luckily I got Sandra's help so it will be easier!!

Last but not least this is Sandra's work!! Super proud of her ^^
View attachment 44601She was so happy with her results that she even dare to paint the "text" on the book!! :glasses-nerdy:

I will work the bases once all the miniatures get painted, this way I could decide how I paint them, and paint them all at once.

Thank you ArchArad ^^

We are having tons of fun playing the game. That's why she wanted to help me painting, in fact we play it a lot and I have to constantly put them in and out of the box. LOL

I have decided that I wont use TMM on any on these because of their "toon" style, so they will be a testing camp for me to work around that technique. Also I want to state that I am going to "copy" the art on each of the monsters/hero cards so they will be easily recognizable. Also that way I won't have too much problems with the colour schemes of each.

Nice all of this, the gobo's skin need more yellow and for that armor girl... You should see how i imagined my metals on her :D Never done a chibi, before last years i did not even knew the word.

How come you did not try a Teronus book on that monk? LOL?

I like the way you paint these, fun stuff.

Congrats on having your companion be interest in your hobby, one of my dream "<

I really like that goblin. They'll look awesome together!
Also, as others have said, that's really cool that your partner has joined you in painting minis. In addition to being awesome in itself, I suspect you'll improve/learn a lot trying to help her out with fundamentals!

@Tero: I completely agree with you on the missing yellow, I took a muted green and I miss some more brightness in it, I gave it 2 or 3 more glazes and see, those waiting in line will get the upgrade sooner xD On the book, I showed yours to her and she told me you were wether crazy or tiny LOL

@Krule and Digga: Ty for your comments guys!

@SaintToad: mmmm she joined me this time, but I suspect it would be impossible for me to push her very far... she is at the opposite side of me being super impatient with things xD So basecoat plus a wash or two and it's done. xD xD
But who knows... I will try anyway.

Wow, the garage kit really turned out wonderfully. I like the technique with the white colored pencil and how you painted the Arcadia Quest minis. The goblin looks cute in a way. Your way of painting eyes gives your models such character.

Cheers!

@BAM: Thank you for your words John! I just tried some of your advice and some other's too. I'm loving peeps over here. ^^
@Pariahrob, Khonner, Delta: Glad you all liked those works, this just helps out the painting mojo a lot!

@Diggs: It is a really nice game to play! If we were a little bit more close (less water between us) I would arrange a meeting and play it with you all ^^
@Arch: Thank you! ^^

I managed to find a little bit more time and make further advancements on the goblins!! I went crazy and make each and everyone a bit different (they appear on all the levels of the game)

They were all basecoated (skin) in the same colour, the rest is just a question of only dozens of shading and glazes (all GW paints) except for the blacklining on some parts that I used inktense black from scale75... I also did some warpaints inspired by the art of the game http://arcadiaquest.com/en/Goblin-Archer.php

And a pic to share progress with you all:
