#miniature bases

Almost finished up the bases for these stinky dudes! V happy with how they've come out!

Want to know how I sculpted the stone road on my most recent base? Its not overly difficult (if a bit time consuming) and as it uses polyclay it can be worked till you are happy.

Got some 32mm bases for my Skaven army that I finished. Still need to get to putting the Skaven themselves together, but I really should finish my Orks first TBH.

I’m by no means a professional but I REALLY like making base terrains, it’s like a zero-commitment window into your creature’s world!

So I’m trying my hand at making some multi-bases for Kings of War. I love the idea of not needing to move hundreds of models individually. Lol

These are my first five experiments. 100x80mm regiment bases for infantry. I’m using corkboard and PVA glue to fix it to my base and then I either stacked more chunks for height differences or left recesses that I filled with glue. The recesses I’ll style up and paint to look like water and I’ll decorate the base with some Vallejo ground texture and some tundra static grass clumps. I’m a little worried about stacking the goblins on the bases in an aesthetically pleasing way, but I guess I will figure it out.

Here are all three levels of icons I made for those D&D-themed playing cards I posted a while back, and a glimpse at my icon-making process.

Basically, I start with very small pixel art. This ensures that my icons are readable even at very small sizes, and that I don’t over-detail them. After that, I enlarge the pixel art 1 or 2 times,smooth the curves, and sharpen the points; and finally I trace over the pixel art with a much higher resolution file or a vector program.

For these pieces, I needed a messy, hand-drawn style, but I’m capable of clean logos as well.

I also made a set of figure bases/tokens with these icons, which can be found on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4558815

The light bulb in my table lamp burned out, so I don’t draw much in this gloomy darkness.

Here is what I did instead (it helps me to overcome the sickness that is still here).
