All heroes I love, I think I'll do Ispher as he's a personal favourite anyway. But I might even do Zyla afterwards as well, it depends if I can stomach finishing the remaining 2 Naga or not.

Top three heroes I'd like to see you paint are:

1. Vyrah the Falconer

2. Zyla

3. Ispher

Ispher is (IMHO) the coolest healer... though he's so big, he knocks some fellow heros down with his tail if you don't place him carefully on the tiles.

I kinda want to see him painted too.... Would you paint him like on the box/his card? Or differently?

Also: I love your paint job on Gargan Mirklace... He just looks pretty badass and cool.

Ispher's mini is pretty rad indeed, I love his little dragon pet. Too bad it's not his familiar...

Before anyone starts, I know he's pretty OP as is, just really like dragon Familiar... lucky me I have Challara!

Ispher will be as per box art, I find the colours pleasing and it makes my life easier to have the colour schemes chosen for me. I've painted enough 'personal choice' minis with Super Dungeon Explore.

Ardus Ix'Erebus

Reanimates

These guys almost made me give up painting.

The complete set:

Nanok in a day or two, then Ispher and then on to Shadows.

Wow you paint really fast (and awesome)

Keep posting them

**** you sir, that's almost too sex-hay!

Love that group shot from Bilehall!

Nanok

Ispher

Can you write down a list of the colors you use?

These minis look awesome!

Can you be a bit more specific on which models/areas? Because I have and use over 150 different paints.

Nanok's facial expression looks more deadly than his axes do. That is one gleeful death smile.

You know, nothing has kept me from painting my Descent minis more than molding defects on the characters faces. I'm sure at least some of your figures have that problem. In such cases, what do you do to fix characters' faces before you paint them?

I've had that same sad misshapen face issue with a few of my heroes too.. Thankfully the last quality of H&M packs has increased with each release.

Absolutely love Isphers Coloring!!!

I'm very fortunate, none of my models have molding defects on the faces. However in the past I've actually just straight up asked FFG for a replacement as it's not acceptable to receive miniatures with defects and FFG need to know about any issues with their production in order to keep the standards up. If it's things like mold lines however, I just clean them away with a knife, a file and a lot of patience. I also use a combination of green stuff and liquid green stuff to fill in gaps and minor defects. It helps that I know how to sculpt minis, even if I don't do it very often.

I'm loving your work Styfen, so vibrant! What happened with the reanimates that made you want to quit? ( If it was quantity and repetition, stay away from KOBOLDS, ugh)

Repetition, quantity and most of all the pose because it's so two dimensional. I am indeed leaving the Kobolds to the side for the moment, however I plan to paint them in batches of 1 master plus 2 or 3 normal ones rather than do the whole lot at once. That's how I got through the Reanimates in the end, they are three batches of two and slight variations on the models in each pair. I'm actually not looking forward to painting the Flesh Molders and Changlings, something about their sculpts seems off.

Me 2 and thats the problem

But I think Ispher is a great paintjob, a list of the colors you hab used will be verry helpful. Just base/shade/highlight

Thank you

Newbie question - how do I post images?

I don't shade or highlight in a traditional sense, I blend and glaze.

The base colour initially was XV-88, but the glazes and blends were a whole range of browns, ocher, tan, yellow, bone and flesh.

The list of colours used in his skin are:

XV-88

Balthor Brown

Tau Light Ochre

Cadian Fleshtone

Averland Sunset

Rhinox Hide

Flayed One Flesh

Ushabti Bone

Screaming Skull

Baneblade Brown

Zamesi Desert

And mixes of the above paints to make various glazes. The darker colours are the ones used initially and then the middle tones take over and are applied over the darker tones, then the extreme blended colours are added and then the middle tones are again applied to bring everything together. Cadian Fleshtone was used as a glaze to balance and warm the skin and Zamesi Desert ended up being the overall glaze colour used as it popped the most.

I hope that helps in some way, but his skin was a really long process that took forever to get right.

Thank you very much.

Sounds like you invest a lot of time in this great mini.

I'm not very familiar with glazing but it seems to be a to-do next

Glazing is a huge step toward improving blends, deepening/brightening colours and for me it's completely replaced washes. It's something worth learning and to be honest, while it is time consuming, the results are very good for the effort put in.

Oh man., They all look gorgeous. Always wanted to see Ardus Ix Erebus in action among with Reanimators, but this takes the cake.

Love that Nanok. great work.

So, it's been a little while since you revealed Nanok and Ispher. What minis are you working on right now?

So, it's been a little while since you revealed Nanok and Ispher. What minis are you working on right now?

I completed Titania and Challara. Right now I'm working on the models from Lair of the Wyrm so I can have a transportable, fully painted, version of Dark Elements to bring to places for when we want a one evening coop dungeon bash. Pictures to come when the Imps are done.

I had to take a look at Titania's character card to remind me who she was. After taking a look at her artwork all I can say is, good luck with those tattoos, man.

Some WIPS

Heroes

Challara

Titiana

Not happy with those two, will probably get another copy of each and try again.

Fire Imps

I'm sure someone will ask, so here's a tutorial for painting fire that I recommend.

It's been a while since you've posted anything to this thread. Just letting you know that there's at least one person who would like to see what you've been working on.
