The Long Walk to Capital Palette Pt. 1: Research and Development

by Dr. Schemes on January 15, 2022January 14, 2022

It’s a new year and as is customary for all minipainters on Instagram I hopped on the yearly bandwagon and made a collage post showing some of best pieces I did in 2021. After doing said bandwagon post I became aware of something almost immediately; everything I did in 2021 was a commission to paint […]

Road to Capital Palette Pt. 5: Journey’s End

by Dr. Schemes on September 8, 2019September 28, 2019

It’s been quite a year so this post is gonna be lengthy, so grab a drink and strap in for this one. As i’m writing this it hasn’t even been a week since I came home from the Nova Open and participated in the Capital Palette and boy was it a roller coaster of emotions. […]

Road to Capital Palette Pt. 4: Smooth Buttery Blends

by Dr. Schemes on September 6, 2019September 6, 2019

I’m writing this after Nova and the Capital Palette had already ended but I’m pretty sure it would feel weird to just jump from base coats to a finished project in this series, so I’ll keep this brief The majority of my time was spent blending the blue on the armor. I had already put […]

Road to Capital Palette Pt. 3: All your Base Coats

by Dr. Schemes on August 17, 2019September 6, 2019

So apparently monthly blog posts seem to be more my speed especially considering my ever changing schedule. Regardless, at the time of writing this Nova is only 13 days away for me and I’ve done quite a bit of experimentation and actual work on my piece. However, I don’t want to skip parts of the […]

Road To Capital Palette: Pt.2 Prep and Planning

by Dr. Schemes on May 3, 2019September 6, 2019

Now that I have my mini, I’m ready to clean her up and slap some paint on….if only it was that simple. I’m well aware of my shortcomings as a minipainter; I would put myself at an intermediate level of painting skill, and that’s being a bit generous. So before I go messing up this […]

Road To Capital Palette: Pt.1 Choosing my Entry

by Dr. Schemes on April 23, 2019September 7, 2019

With most of my army painted I have now transitioned to basically full competition painting mode. However, having never painted for a competition before I knew I couldn’t just wing it the way I have been with the minis I painted for army; I needed to have a plan. And one of the first things […]

Put some work into the display base for my piece, I feel like I need to up the contrast and go brighter before I apply an oil wash to it. Only so many hours in the day to do all the things.
Got some decent work done on the display base for my Capital Palette entry. I have two of the minis and the other one is all cleaned up, primed and zenithal highlighted already. Hoping to prime the base, highlight it and start getting some colors down so it can inform my paint scheme for the witch king
I LIVE!!! After dealing with a lot of personal stuff I finally feel like I'm in a good place to hobby and finally finished my last squad of outriders. Now it's on to my competition piece for the Capital Palette at Nova
About time I get back on the wagon, been playing too much Monster Hunter Rise on top of going through some medical stuff. Gonna finish up these primaris bikers and work on the Nova open entries, starting with the bases
Completely forgot I finished this guy. I had to push myself to finish because I wasn't super into the sculpt and it was a lot of fiddling with paint at the end. Glamor shots will come soon but over all I can say I'm happy he's done.
Did a quick speed paint of the cadian pug as a gift for someone and they were very pleased with it Tried a bunch of new things for the base in preparation for my competition pieces while I was at it.
