Oath Complete!. Whew, close one this time. Played around with a ton of new techniques / materials on this one and underestimated how long it would take to fiddle with everything.  Claiming Heavy Damage for all of the painted dings and scratches / oxidation effects. Also claiming Spic and Span for organizing my random pile of supplies while I waited for varnish to dry. Actually underestimated how many paints I'd collected, so I'll probably have to buy another rack in the not-too-distant future. Before:  After:

OATH COMPLETE! Claiming Through Thick and Thin for the fur texture. This was a fun mini even though it involved a lot of struggling with the soft Bones sculpt and mushy detail. Even drybrushing the fur was a pain in the rear end because the detail was so shallow that it just filled everything in. Tried to compensate by pushing painted textures and volumes wherever I could. Definitely a learning experience!

Didn't want to edit my Oath Complete post but I'm also claiming All Together Now for all these Oath minis I finished this season. Really hammers home just how slowly I paint lol.

Ugleb posted:Well it's fortunate they all look great then. Thank you! These are the first things I've painted since middle school and I've been learning a ton from the people here. Echoing the thanks to the judges and OP for keeping this thread going - it pretty much single handedly got me back into the hobby and seeing all the great painters in here is really inspiring.
