Revisiting Old Habits: Painting the Brute from Gloomhaven

These days my evenings are quite uneventful. So in these lockdown days I am revisiting miniature painting. It also helps that I have Gloomhaven lying about waiting to get painted. So today I sat down and painted the Brute from Gloomhaven. Unfortunately I don’t have progress pictures. I took some pictures before I begin and after I finished.

I tried to stick close to what I saw in the concept art again. Bone pauldrons, chest bands and golden shield.

This was the first mini I used wet blending on with some success. The fur cloak turned out to be better than I expected. Perhaps I should have started with a lighter tone for the highlight areas… I had to touch up with pure yellow to make the contrast apparent.

    Made a Wet Palette and Painted Doomstalker

    Last night I painted Doomstalker from Gloomhaven. It seems like it will take a while to get throught Gloomhaven minis… After a few false starts with trying to use glazes to bring out the zenithal highlighting, I said fuck it and did the classic, base layer, shade, highlight triumvirate. I am reasonably satisfied with how…

    Digging for Switches on an Old Keyboard

    I am preparing to build a dactyl keyboard and for that I would need switches. Denmark being Denmark, it was hard to get mechanical switches for a reasonable price. I had to improvise a bit to get all the parts. Amazon.de had the switches but wouldn’t deliver to Denmark, and the ones that did deliver…
