I hope this is okay here. I didn't see a specific minipainting community with more than 1 member.

Started painting this after resin printing a heroforge mini I made and bought. Just paid for the model file and here we are.

Anyway, spent maybe 5-7 days painting it. I think it looks better in person than from my phone camera (seems to highlight every imperfection, but it actually looks decent compared to what I've seen my friends paint). I'm still new to painting minis, but I think I found a life long hobby i enjoy. Hope you like it <3

Nice painjob. Especially the wings. In my experience is really hard to get some shining bright white wings without paint clogging up every detail, so props to you.

Did you do the pose yourself aswell? The combination of the wings and the pose was a great dynamic. Often wings seem so tacked on but I like this silhouette a lot

I did pose the character with HeroForge. But there wasn't a lot too it, just their standard pose. I actually repainted the wings a number of times bcz I wasn't happy with it, so there's like 40 layers of paint on there 🤣

Incredible! 👏

About this:

Might be worth crossposting to that too, so it gives more visibility to it and so more people may join in.

Good point, can't grow communities without content!

Edit: decided to just make a community. There are only two similar communities and one is on an ml instance.

I like the idea to put miniatures on bottle thingies (to lazy to look for the correct word)

Its the cheaper Version of putting the mini on a handle :)

This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
