Codifier Kisa

I modelled Codifier Kisa after a ginger/white kitty.

Freyjans are quickly becoming my favourite Super Dungeon race. So cute!

Dust Coven Necromancer

I’ve finished the Dust Coven Necromancer:

His skin is grey, washed with purple and highlighted back to grey.

Celestial Herald

I painted the Celestial Herald with bird-of-prey style wing colouration as I hadn’t seen it done before.

This is the first shot taken with my brand-new proper camera. I’m still working out the settings. Can you tell the difference? I think the colours are better.

Shallow Graves

Here are the Shallow Grave spawn points from which the skeletons can ambush unsuspecting heroes. Like the rest of my Super Dungeon Explore stuff, I am trying to keep them quick and simple.

Shallow Grave

Also, I have some good news: I’m finally investing in a proper camera. All this time I have been using my smartphone,  so hopefully we’ll see a significant improvement in picture quality. *fingers crossed!*

Arcanist

Back to Warmachine for a little bit! Here’s a Retribution of Scyrah Arcanist. I know that elves aren’t supposed to have facial hair but I felt like he needed a 5 o’clock shadow.

Bone Heads, Dread Knights and Rattlebones

I’ve started painting up the Von Drakk set. I wanted the skeletons to look very old with rusted armour and rough bone so I mostly drybrushed them. This had the added benefit of making them super fast to paint! Here are the Bone Heads.

Bone Head

I base-coated the armour with dark brown and then stippled on a lighter redder brown. Finally I finished them up with a quick drybrush of silver. Here are the Dread Knights.

Dread Knight

To paint the bone I simply base-coated with bone, washed with brown and then drybrushed with bone. Using fast painting techniques really helps when you have twelve Rattlebone creeps.

Nyan-Nyan

Nyan-Nyan was actually my first attempt at a chibi face. I wasn’t happy with the eyes and, after talking it over with some of the guys on the Soda Pop forums, I decided to repaint her eyes and give her a kitty nose.

Nyan-Nyan

I wanted my Freyjans (the cat people) to be more cat-like than their original colour schemes. I think that the nose really helps with that. Now she’s super cute!

Nyan-Nyan

I realise now how important the eyes are for chibi-style miniatures. Even more so than regular minis!

Thundervale Huntress, Questing Knight and Survivor Marie-Claude

It’s time for some heroes! Lets start with the Thundervale Huntress.

Thundervale Huntress

I tried to match her markings to the artwork in the book instead of her card.

And here’s the Questing Knight in an alternative colour scheme.

Finally here’s Survivor Marie-Claude. I thought her sculpted eyes were a little too large (even for the chibi style) so I tried to offset that by giving her a slighter thicker outline around the eye than I usually do. Meaning I left the black line around the whites of her eyes within the sculpted edge. I’ll do a little guide on this later. I like how her eyes and stocking turned out.

Survivor Marie Claude

If you were wondering about Marie-Claude’s sculpt, it’s based on Marie-Claude Bourbonnais, a cosplayer associated with Soda Pop Miniatures.

Mooks, Sprout and King Sprout

The leaf tip colour for the Mooks was a mix of pale pink, magenta and purple.

Mook

In the arcade version of Super Dungeon Explore, the Mooks can gang up with Sprout, another cute but deadly plant.

Sprout

And then it can shapeshift into King Sprout. (Feed me, Seymour?)
