My first painted minis.

[BB980]

These are my first painted WIP's. I need to finish the one base, detail the faces, highlight the crystal and sword. Any comments and criticisms are welcome.

Photos could be better quality. But still as for first minis they don't look bad thats all what I can say now. Try to make sharper pics so we can see some more details.

Looking good; pretty clean application and color variety. It's hard to tell, but are you using metallic paints for some of the cloth areas?
It appears you have some brush control and talent, now you just have to start pushing the contrast and give the models some more depth by shading and highlighting. The pics make it hard to tell if you are already doing that, so I apologize. Like Heldiar mentioned, if you can get us some improved images, the forum members might be able to better assist you.

Very good for first minis! Mine pretty much amounted to some plastic dipped in thick red paint.

I agree with Oct, some areas like the turquoise cloth could definitely do with a bit more contrast. It looks like you've already had a good stab at shading and highlighting, but you'all tend to find a lot of the feedback you get early on is 'more contrast'

Good stuff, keep 'em coming

Yep, looks like a nice clean start. Definitely time to up the shading and highlights now!

Welcome to the forums. Keep wormking on the photography piece as it makes a difference on getting effective constructive feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I need to get some better lighting setup for better pics. I am using my cell phone camera (Galaxy S7). I did those first pieces using basic acrylic paint sets from Hobby Lobby with cheap brushes. I was going for a shimmering fabric on the mage, but it may not look the best. I did just pick up the Army Painter set I I the other day and some better brushes. I started working on Quan from my Masmorra set two days ago. My work is definitely a 1 or 2 on a scale of 10, but I enjoy it. I will be playing the game with my pieces, so I am not too concerned with little mistakes on my play pieces. So here is Quan:

Hello there BB!

Shouldn't be so hard on yourself, this last one maybe its not a ten, but neither it's a 2 or 3. For me this can rate around a 5 or maybe a little more, much more if you think you have just painted a few minis!

Every colour it's in its own place, I can see work on highlights and some shadows too, and that's much more than what I did on my first miniatures!
(My first were much much much MUCH worse!) hahahaha

In fact being just your third miniature, I think you almost reached a nice thickness of the paint, and lots of people struggle a lot with that issue! (I did and still do sometimes) All I can say now is, keep on painting, and don't hesitate to ask what you need, people around here is very kind!

PS: I am still painting the Arcadia Quest ones! that's the reason I did not went into Masmorra, also because I am waiting for the inferno kickstarter to arrive home...
