Corpse Bride

-

Welcome back to another post after a few months hiatus. Not to worry, dear reader. I haven't stopped painting. I just haven't taken a lot of photos recently and what good are blog posts about miniatures if there aren't any photos to show?

This amazing miniature is from the May 2024 Loot Studios bundle, "Scarlet Requiem", which is all about vampires, zombies, and various other undead creatures.

As soon as i saw this miniature in the list i knew that i had to paint it up. This is the 75mm scale version of the model. This is "Dolores, Who Lingers" - a golem construct. But i like to think of her as the Corpse Bride.

I worked with a limited color pallet, which seems very appropriate for the feel/vibe i was going for: a spooky black and white horror movie from the 1950's.

Also, ... who's blood is that? Is it hers from when she was murdered by her lover? Maybe it's the blood of her latest victim - a poor soul who tried to cheat on his wife, but was found out, and she sought revenge and summoned the bride. Either way, it adds a bold dash of color to really make the miniature pop.

Elisabeth Wattson - Thundercoil Cities

I spent a  lot  of time on these miniatures. Remember when i said i needed to take better photos? Well, i decided to grab my wife for this one, and she did  not  disappoint. Thanks Luann! I picked up one of the loot studios sci-fi bundles because i really loved the look of this miniature. It's titled "Elisabeth Wattson". It's from the Loot Studios Sep 2023 "Thundercoil Cities" bundle. Background - why do this mini, and why do all three? When i first saw this miniature i was very excited. I was in the middle of some other steampunk minis and thought this would be a great addition. However, when i printed up the 32mm version, the face was "melted". So i tried again, and it didn't work either (i can't remember what went wrong on the 2nd print). So i tried a third time. And yes ... it also had a print failure, and some of the details were muddy. I think it's less about my printer/settings, and more about the miniature. I've not had issu

Twin Goddess Miniatures

 Last month i was watching a painting video on YouTube which was showcasing some new brand of paint (more on that in another post). But what caught my eye were the miniatures he was using. He mentioned the name and i went searching. Twin Goddess Miniatures . They're quite well done and a slight departure from my normal, so i picked up two of them to paint. I really need to figure out how to take better photos. These look much better in person. I'll work on that. Holiday Goblin Pinup Hey, it's Christmas time so i figured i'd pick a cute goblin elf. I tried some pen lines with really fine micron pens for shading the presents. Oh, and don't think it's too risque. This was the most dressed option they had. The others ranged from a little bow tied around her to nothing on at all other than a Santa hat :) Mushroom Goblin Another fun one. A happy little goblin druid with some mushroom minions toting her musket around. There was a weirdness with this sculpt in that the

Hank from the 80's Dungeons and Dragons cartoon

 This is from a set of miniatures i purchased a few months ago (maybe close to a year now?!) that contains all the heroes (plus Dungeon Master) from the 1980's Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. This is Hank.  I did this one in an afternoon, in between letting the paint dry on the other miniatures i'm working on. None of the mini's in this set have much detail. But hey - they're based on an old kids cartoon that didn't really have much detail either. I do wish the face was a little more "young" looking. This sculpt makes him look like a rugged brute instead of a 17 year old teenager. https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-heroes-of-the-realm-set-1-203990
