Heyhey, right now I'm in the process of painting somebody's Dungeons & Dragons collection of 28mm figures. Starting with some character figures and a red dragon (because a red dragon can not be beat in terms of visual appeal.

The latter picture features a troop of knights from a gaming specific world's knightly order. There's a lot more to come, including ruins, very nice furniture, evil gribblies and more characters.
Hope you like them so far!

Wonderful looking figures! Great attention to detail - especially that shield. The dragon of course steals the spotlight as they tend to do...
-
Amazing work on those :-*
-
Lovely work, the dragon is of course stunning, but I really like the way those knights are all individuals but you do get the sense they belong to the same Order.
-
High quality paintjob!
-
@syrinx0: Cheers. Yeah, I was ordered to file the shield on the knights (where present) flat and freehand their chapter logo on there.
@armchairgeneral: Thank you!
@Dean: Yeah, it's a very diverse looking group, but goes to show what a coherent colour scheme can do.
@Freddy: Thanks very much!
Heyhey, here's some more figures, this time of the furry/scaly (even though I vaguely remember crocodile skin not being scaly, but ...just hard and horny or something like that. :P ) variety:

A werewolf warrior, the wildshape form of one of the characters (who lost an arm, so the crocodile also lacks a front leg), a .....fairy lion which came with one leg missing so I remade it from green stuff, but I won't tell which one it was :P ) and a fantasy dog/fox/fennek creature. Looks very fast and friendly though.
Today I received another parcel with figures for this collection. Those I won't be allowed to show on the internet, because they're secret for now.
By the way, this is the collection owned by the lovely people who run this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@FoolScholarProductions/videos (https://www.youtube.com/@FoolScholarProductions/videos). If I understood it right they play D&D adventures and then bascially do a re-telling of their games as audioplays. Really impressive productions.
-
Lovely :)
-
Excellent painting on a rather unique dungeon party.
-
Inspirational work. Please keep it up.
-
@OSHIROmodels: Cheers!
@syrinx0: Many thanks!
@has.been: Thank you, I kinda did. :D
Heyhey, sorry for the lack of follow-up. The figures were done for a video/audio producer and I had to keep stumm about further figures of that collection, but now I'm free to post them and I will (and refer to his great youtube channel and all of that good stuff. He's a lovely guy with a very cool collection).
Until then, here's some D&D figures I just painted for another gentleman's collection. All 3d printed (but nice figures ;) ):

Hope you like them and enjoy your weekend!
This one's the last quiet weekend for a while. Next week I'll be at an event, the week thereafter I'll be at Vienna Comicon. Should be a hoot. :)
-
Wonderful vibrant painting all around - especially the blue demons.
Have fun at your convention. :)
-
Striking paintwork.
-
@syrinx0: Cheers! Yeah, Comiccon 2024 was really good fun. Different to last year, a bit more space, I did the painting workshop thing again, which is great fun, and I had several people who attended last year come around again to paint something. Had NO time to look around because I'm just by myself and I have to be at my table and/or paint with people. On top of that I got an emergency commission thing in for that weekend, because a dear customer needed a command staff for his 15mm Napoleonic Austrians painted for a big battle the next week, which added to the fun. :D So yeah. Mix of lovely old faces, lovely new faces, saw a SMASHING game of Dungeonbowl on the table behind mine.
@has.been: Thanks very much!
Hello, hello, I'm back. Here's a WIP shot of a zombie dude who either got a castle built around him OR lived in a castle and by accident drank an unlabelled Potion of Enlarge.
(https://i.imgur.com/N0ekbAK.jpeg)
Already I sunk several days into the chap, somehow the model just seems to become more and more vast the more paint I put on him. He's proper big. He's designed to house 28mm figures, measures 66cm feet to eye level, 79cm to the top of the pole on that tower on his back. Well, I hope you like him so far. Nothing's finished yet, but I hope I can proceed swiftly!
-
Wow! :o That thing's enormous! Lovely paint job, too - looks properly disgusting!
-
Now that's a giant! :o
I take it you're not tackling him purely with brushes? And is that a unique build, a 3D print, or something else?
-
@Zosimos: Is is enormous. :D Just starting with detailwork; that'll take ages.
@Daeothar: Not purely, but way too much. :D So far I used a spraycan for the black basecoat, basic airbrushing for the grey on the walls (not entirely necessary) and for the first layer of highlights on the skin. Otherwise it's all paintbrush stuff. Yup, that's a 3d print, FDM. So I spent about a day or so trying to get rid of the worst bits of 3d print structure by applying texture, sanding, filling gaps and so on. I wish I had more time to spend on that dude. He'd be a total oil paints feast (it would be delicious), but I just don't have the time.
-
It looks great! I saw this 3d model several times, always thought that how cool it would look painted, but who has enough space and nerves for a project like that? Now I know :)

:D Thanks for the comment! Well, it's a commission job, so at least I won't have to put it somewhere once it's done. And while I'm working on it, I got instructions from my brother to put the huge zombieskeleton away if got my niece is over at my place. :D

Hope you like him! I'll drive him around the country and we'll attend Austrian Salute this weekend. :) Then I'll have to give him back to his owner.
-
Holy moly, what a piece of art!
-
That is a truly amazing piece of work. Outstanding workmanship.
-
This looks really great! ...very creepy though :)
-
What they all said!
That is kind of astonishing and amazing and gross all at once!
-
Lovely work! Imagine the stench! Excellent building skills on display here and obviously really imaginative. I also love that you ca actually play on it.
-
Wow - great painting and detailing and what an incredible subject to get to paint!
I mean, all giants are monsters, but this is a monster miniature of a monster!! :)
-
That is something else!
Excellent.
-
Thanks very much for the kind comments, guys. Much appreciated.
It is quite the unique piece and posed some unique challenges. :D But I love depicting different surfaces on a model, and this one's got it all: 2 different kinds of stonework, funky, funky skin/flesh (and wounds too!), metal and timber (the latter being probably hampered the most by the fact that it's FDM-printed, but on the other hand the marks kinda work as woodgrain. Still required a ton of sanding. :D
This dude would have been a complete joy to break out the oil paints for, but I didn't have the time, so I went all-acrylic on this one. And less airbrush than one would think too.
The gentleman who I did this model for also gave me a creepy looking doll eye to see if it fits the empty eye socket. Which gave it yet a whole different look, but in the end just looked like somebody stuck a not-quite-fitting effect eye onto the model so in the end we decided not to go with that. Especially since the other, the 'blind' eye, looked very different as welll.
Despite some general misgivings about certain kinds of 3d-drawn figures, this one impressed me with two physical traits: This dude is stable. Not once he fell over despite him being a dude on two feet and huge. But the centre of gravity very cleverly rests right in the middle and on where the pelvic bone would be. Gives him excellent stability.
The other thing is that he is sized such that he JUST fits an IKEA Detolf glass cabinet's two lowerlevels. So you just have to remove the lowest glass divider and he goes right in there. Maybe just a coincidence, but the dude fits so well that I'm inclined to think that this is by design.

Little update - here's a bunch of thin, angry nuns! All very much WIP, but slowly getting there.
(https://www.tabletopwelt.de/uploads/monthly_2025_07/wip2.JPG.5f500e4a47fc60d56a2cfc6859eefd80.JPG)
Yar, all from the Raging Heroes range. PACKED with fine Detail. Very interesting figures; hope you like them so far!

Heyhey, thin angry nuns done.

I guess the lad who's banging the pot in the left there needs some more work on his eyes. Other than that, they're pretty much done. A wild mix of various sets of these fantasy nuns. The ladies with the Day of the Dead theme are younger nuns, as far as I understand it. Doesn't make much sense, but I like the figures. They're fun. The cooking lady of course is a highlight. Very good sculpt. 32mm sized. Hope you like them!

The angry nuns are fantastic

Thanks very much! :) yeah, they're pretty impressive individually, but I love a picture of units.
Right now I'm working on a proper D&D collection for another gentleman: Figures from all sorts of sources, from pre-slotta GW ones, Reaper, GW plastics, probably D&D metals and god knows what else up to 3d resin prints. Some cool GW classics in there, some really cool Werner Klocke sculpts, but painting them is doing my head in to be honest. All have to be stripped (the whole collection fell victim to a flooded cellar) and repainted, every single one is a character. I'm proceeding at a glacial pace. It's a really cool collection, but it's not my preferred mode of painting. :D Oh well.
So let's brace for the big maintenance, right? I shall see you on the other side, gentlefolk. Up the LAF!
