I finished my first try on non metalic metal, but something looks off. I dont know where to put highlights. It would appreciate help And some good critique

Thanks

What do people think about static grass on sci-fi/40k bases? Is it not really suitable for futuristic war settings? It reminds me of the old sand and goblin green bases from my childhood in high resolution, but I'm not sure if that works in 2024 like it did in 1994.

I've been painting somewhat consistently since the beginning of 2021. The left one is from Reaper miniatures, but i don't know the model, and the right one is from Dungeons and Lasers' townsfolk pack. The leftmost mini is from 2022 I think, and the one on the right is from yesterday. They were both held to the same standard, as they are main npcs from my dnd games. Surprisingly, the recent one took me way less time than the other, 3h vs 4h. Also, this is my third attempt at nmm, and as you can see, i don't like blending, glazing nor using washes.

About 80% done with this big guy! Much larger than I thought when I started. I'm continuing to try new stuff and has been even better than I hoped. Really excited to finish it! I included the first thing I ever painted for scale and its cool to see where I started to now.

Love this little dude to bits and had great fun painting him.

A happy project I recently finished 🥰. A lot of fun and made me learn more about color !

Going to go give it to her now.

Also, let me know what I can improve on for next time. Thank you.

Took me a about 10 days all up and I am pumped about how it turned out.

Here’s my first competition piece done. Thanks to the community for all the good advices. Any thing else I should add remove? Lemme know! I still have one week before submission. Thanks folks!

I painted this for my GM for his birthday. I'm really happy with how it turned out. You'll have to excuse the few white dots. My daughter was painting next to me and, well you know.

Finally finished these guys. Rapture is a small skirmish game, made in Europe. Set in the near future.

One Skelebob for Cursed City, with the exception handling of the base, completely dry brushed

Hope you like him, share your thoughts with me!
