I painted Regis, the Halfling Rogue, from Dungeons and Dragons Legend of Drizzt. Regis was pretty difficult to paint since he is actually even smaller than a Goblin (which is already half the size of a normal monster/hero miniature). I chose to add a lot more color to Regis to give him more of a noble/wealthy appearance. I was really happy with how he turned out.
Julie painted the last Hunting Drake from Dungeons and Dragons Legend of Drizzt. She went with a purple theme to coordinate with the blue and green Hunting Drakes that we had previously painted.
I painted Wulfgar, the Human Barbarian, from Dungeons and Dragons Legend of Drizzt. In the books, he is supposed to be a blonde-haired, blue-eyed barbarian. But, I thought I would mix things up. I think he looks pretty awesome with the dark skin tone and hair. I used a lot of dry-brushing on his fur clothing. I also went for a weathered rock look for his hammer. Julie painted the Yochlol (Handmaiden of Lolth) from Dungeons and Dragons Legend of Drizzt. It was surprisingly difficult to get an even color gradient using a paintbrush to give it a smooth, slimy appearance. I painted the first Goblin Archer, the last Goblin Cutter, and the last Spider Swarm from Dungeons and Dragons Legend of Drizzt. I painted the first two Dungeons and Dragons Legend of Drizzt Hypnotic Spirits. The first one I painted black with red light coming from his face and the holes in his robe, and the second one I painted as a slightly translucent-looking blue-green. The blue-green color scheme is inspired by the necromancer campaign in Might and Magic Clash of Heroes. Julie painted Drizzt Do'Urden and his black panther, Guenhwyvar from Dungeons and Dragons Legend of Drizzt . Julie and I painted the Dungeons and Dragons Legend of Drizzt Feral Trolls. We used a lot of dark washes on the trolls to give them a more grungy appearance. I painted the brown Feral Troll, and Julie painted the green Feral Troll. I helped Julie by painting her green troll's bracers and hair. Julie painted the Dungeons and Dragons Legend of Drizzt Athrogate Dwarf Battlerager. She used a copper metallic acrylic paint for the spikes on his helmet, chest plate, shoulder armor, and boots. The used silver metallic acrylic paint for both the metal armor and the studs on the leather armor. Painting the Dungeons and Dragons Legend of Drizzt Drow Duelists was a really fun project. There is so much detail in the armor of these miniatures, which gives you a lot to work with while painting. We used quite a bit of metallic paint on the Drow Duelists. To create the metallic look to both the red and purple armor elements, we mixed silver metallic paint with regular red (or purple) acrylic paint. Julie's Drow Duelist's red and black armor was inspired by Elder Scrolls' Daedric armor. John's purple armor was inspired by the Drow from Baldur's Gate. Unfortunately, the matte varnish greatly diminished the pop that all of the metallic areas. We ended up re-painting over most of the metallic areas after the varnish dried to restore the metallic sheen. In the future, we definitely won't be varnishing our miniatures that have metallic paint. |
