What are you working on today?

[Ragnar IronFist]

Thanks everyone!

How practical is it to actually play on? That's my only concern with the walls.

When do I get to play on your sweet sweet game board?

Not sure how practical it is as of yet. I've been busy painting it. Not sure how soon I'll find out. One needs actual friends to actually play his actual board games lol. So c'mon over! I think be doing a round or 2 with my kiddo pretty soon tho. In the meantime my kid and I have just been having fun making different dungeon configurations and playing around with it. It's quite a fun set even if you never intend to play a game with it!

you are a good painter how long did it take to paint the ravenloft set? but why copy the ddm flat black bases

I surprised myself with how quickly I did this. I got the Ravenloft set for fathers day. But working a job and all, I just peck away at it when I have time in the evenings. So a few months I guess .. of very part time painting. I didn't intend to copy anything. I just went with flat black bases because it doesn't draw attention. I could have done that fancy putty stuff, put it's kind of a pain and would have doubled the time to get it done, so I went with just blacking them out.

that's cool I find painting time when I can I wish there was more but my son is 18 months and he tries to "help" me when I sit down at my desk to paint so I usally only paint at nap time or late at night. I have been meaning to get the ravenloft set but never get around to it I got the drizzt game on my birthday about a year and a half ago and these are all ive done so far

And that Balrog dude looks awesome. Love the lava/fire!

That sounds all-too familiar. I forgot to mention with my Ravenloft set, my paint time is usually after the kids are in bed. I'm learning to include the older kid though. As long as I can force myself to 'give up' a few minis from a set... or even buy a few just for him to paint... and when I resist the urge to micro-manage... it becomes a pretty fun dad-son time.


@Ragner.... congratulations. Your painting is awesome. Just when I start to get pretty content thinking how much I've improved....You remind me how far I have to go!

Same here. In theory, I know all the techniques and then some more, but that cleanliness in setting highlights and security in brushstroke is the first thing to strive for. And I haven't it. Yet. But I'm not envious as long as people are posting their awesome stuff I can learn from or at least enjoy to glare at.

[Goblin-King]

People posting awesome stuff can both be intimidating, but also inspiring. Inspiration is the first step to doing anything!

Got the googly mostly removed from my clerics eyes. He's now varnished but this was taken before that.


Started on my kobolds and hope to get their clothes painted tomorrow. I found out that a 3/8 flat brush makes painting the net on the D&D Skeleton minis really easy. That flat brush has quickly become a favorite of mine for certain applications.
