Painting Town!

This is where I will be posting all the silly miniatures I paint. I hope you enjoy them!

[k83paints]

Hello!!! I’m K.83 (pronounced Katie) and I’m making this blog as a space to post my progress on my minis and talking about my journey as a model painter.

I’ve been painting miniatures since about 2018, starting with the space marines from the warhammer 40k 8th edition first strike set. They were not very good but i did my best ^w^

All things considered, they’re not bad for a first try. Didn’t have primer and i didn’t try to edge highlight because my hands were too shaky but the paint had a good thinness and i didn’t overdo anything.

I also learned from day one that i HATE basing. No matter how fancy or how simple i do it, basing is always the worst part of painting the mini so i just don’t lol.

Nowadays I’d like to think I’m a lot better

Even if it doesn’t always work out, I’m always trying new things to improve my skills.

As you can see by my lineup, I paint a lot of vampire counts and iron warriors, but also collect adeptus mechanicus, and I’ll paint about anything I can get my hands on!

These kingdom death minis are my favorite things that i’ve painted. The one on the left is where i really figured out how to paint skin, and the one on the right is a silly hatsune miku thing ^w^

"Let's do the whole ass model in NMM" I said

"It will be fun!" I said

"It will show off that I can flex as a painter" I said.

I should have learned from the "Let's hand ink every fucking scale on this Rathalos drawing" Incident, but noooooooo. I just had to let the intrusive thoughts win.

Chat we’re cooked… I accidentally dropped her and her feet broke off.

She was so fucking cool too…

If i can get her glued back together I’ll do my best but she’s going somewhere safe instead of on the shelf when she’s done.

The final day of painting has come. I managed to glue her back together (I was really lucky with how clean the break was) and i could paint her body and highlight the white parts. I might consider varnishing her later but as of right now she’s done.

I’m really happy with how she turned out and I’m glad I bought her in the first place, she was a blast to paint.

Im not good at keeping my accounts organized -w-

Hello everyone! As of writing this, Youssef is at $3,877 out of his EXTREMELY ACHIEVABLE $15,000 goal. He has only gotten eight don@tions in the past day. Youssef is asking for $15,000 to support himself and his family, mainly for medicine, shelter, and food, which are hellishly scarce as a manifestation of Israel's genocide. He is only 18 and he is responsible for his family's SURVIVAL. Please take the time to read Youssef's own words on his GFM page, as well as on his tumblr account, @yousefjehad3 . Read them, stare at them, process them. Let them truly sink in. Then, go to his fundr@iser and DON@TE. Every single coin you can spare counts, because everyone's small contributions will snowball into a massive one. None of these fundr@isers reached their goal because of one loaded don0r. It was always a group effort.

And, whether or not you're able to d0nate - SHARE, with your family, your friends, your groupchats, your tumblr followers, so that someone who can will have the chance to see it! If you are on Tumblr, you are able to reblog.

Don't ever think your contributions are useless. They provide material help and are expressions of care during impossibly dire times. Palestinians quantifiably cannot afford your apathy.

Day four of painting slime girl! If anyone wants to name her then let me know ^w^

The brown has been fixed and I think it looks rather lovely. In addition the white parts have been started! I was really wondering what i should paint this and it took me a while to settle on this.

Tomorrow I think I’ll be finished with her. All that’s left is to highlight the white and paint the meat and she’s all done! (Unless someone can convince me to base her nya)

So handsome… what chapter is he?

[lillie-garden]

The next big tumblr meme is [x]berry I think.

[lillie-garden]

i gave you a warningberry.

[k83paints]

Day three of painting and i redid the pants! I think they look a lot better this time.

I also started working on the top, hat, leggings, and sleeves (which are actually separate from the top apparently)

You may notice that some areas are a bit of a different shade of brown! This is because i accidentally mixed the almost-dried remnants of the light blue of the pants highlight color into the brown because i wasn’t careful making sure that it was dry all the way -w-

This will be fixed tomorrow though.

I think I’m going to paint the ribbons and the cuffs of the leggings white, but that’s probably going to happen after I paint the skin.

At last! The big guy is finished; FDG Turtle at 100%, part of the FDG Goblin throne on top, and some Reaperminis Goblins who think they're in charge. As soon as I saw this model after I printed it I thought of the 1995 Grendel Miniatures game of Leviathan. If I remember correctly it is a mass battle game where each army has to have some huge centerpiece monster that the rest of the army forms around. Which is why I made a fleet of support turtles to go with the great turtle.

I was at my FLGS just picking up some paint and glue, minding my own business, when this Ogre Mage caught my eye and started chatting me up about painting ideas. Next thing I know he's moved into my house. Ogre Mage by Reaperminis.

The idea I had was to change up some of the process that I've been using and paint him with a ghoul flesh first for skin and then use an orange Shader on top of that see what I would get. I started with the left hand as my test piece and went from there.
