Mellal's fantasy Workshop

Great painting Mellal!

The Mantic banshee is great - I might have to revisit that figure.

And the last 3 are particularly good too - I like the colours you have used, and how they blend smoothly.

[Mellal]

Thank you very much all for your kind words !

A bit of change today, instead of more Frostgrave Creatures, I present you an elf pathfinder and her "little" pet. The minis are from a dead game called Astrahys but I chose to painted them as a night elf from Warcraft.

That night elf is fantastic! Love the pose, too...

I wonder how many people called "Astrahys" Ashtrays...

I painted some toy Sabretooth Tigers as pets for my Hill Giants, years ago.  I've never been happy with the color scheme I chose.  I love your Sabretooth Tigers' colors!  I think I have an idea how to re-paint mine, now.  Finally.  Thank you!  Cheers!

Agreed with the comments above - lovely painting on a couple of really nice figures. They go well together as a theme.

[Mellal]

Thanks a lot !

The tiger was easy cheating : white primer, Apothicary White Contrast, medium white drybrush, brillant white drybrush and then black stripes.

These two go along with the changeling I painted some times ago (inspired by a Thai magpie).





Now I need to paint the dryad to complete the starter and at some point... I'll take some time to paint the forest demon and the treeman.

Really nice work

Loving all of these figs! The wings on the latest one are great.

First Time I'm posting some fantasy minis here...

I hadn't finished one for a long time, lost beetween science fiction and history.

Here are 4 undeads I've painted to play Deth Wizards, a game where you play a necromancer that raise deads to build its warband and kill all the remaining living souls that foulishly stand in his way...

My archetype was the War Reaper and, even though mine isn't wielding a scythe, I though the bright heavy armour was more important so I chose a -no at all Vampire- mini from Reaper Bones that I had.



To follow him, I recruited a banshee, a Revenant and a skeleton, all three coming from the dungeon Saga board game (1st edition).





They will join the undead I painted before them, an Orc Zombie. I just need to make its base a little more bluish...

Can you share any info on what appears to be a tower in the last couple of pictures

Can you share any info on what appears to be a tower in the last couple of pictures

I would love to but This is a scenery one of my father's friend offered me. Il appears to be a multipart molded resin tower (3 pieces by floor) but I couldn't tell where it is from. I can only share more pictures with you.


As for the new paintings, here are the latest fantasy of 2024, some sceneries.

First, a Dungeon Saga door accompanied by the first two tiles of my modular dungeon. I tried to represent wood on those smooth doors...





Then, some plastic scatters from Reaper Bones and Mantic Crate / Dungeon saga. Black primer and successive drybrushes, a bit a of contrast on some of the grey ones. Very simple technique.



You can find more on my personal blog reading french (or using Google translate).

I have some of those pieces, as well. You did a great job on them...I went for an all stone look, but I really like your colors...

Very, very nice, I love the wood effect on the door (and I will try to paint mine as yours) ! I had a look at your blog (since I can speak french  ), lots of interesting things there. Please show us more 

[Mellal]

Thanks a lot guys! I really hesitate to do some purple, red/orange stones now... But not for now I have some historical minis to finish, then some weird WWI.

If you wanna talk about the door (or else) feel free to ask here or PM me !
