Super Dungeon Explore's miniatures are just way too damn cute and I love them.
Note the bases are not painted on a few of them. Reason being last Thursday when I was working on these, I painted the ones people wanted to use in our game while one of the players was in the middle of his Warhammer match. Figured I'd just get through as many as possible.
Also turns out I found a technique I like a lot. When you base things with a pure white primer, applying washes directly to it can give you really neat bright color effects for utilizing shaded hair, cloth and the like. I did it with both the Riftling Rogue's hair by washing it purple and the Glimmerdusk Ranger's shawl by washing it turquoise. Was simply a matter of reapplying white highlights afterward, and boom. Done.
Their eyes are a llittle more complicated than I'd done on any other model because they are so large and unlike the Druid, weren't just little beady black slats. Ideally I aim for something similar to this with the more realistic models I do truth be told. Putting color in the bottom half and applying a white tiny dot in the top of the pupil goes a llong way toward making eyes look realistic. Its cartoony here because of the eyeball size in relations to the rest of the head but it works great when you can pull it off with more realistic miniatures. Give it a try!
