Part time mini painter and full time Mechanical Engineer. I mostly post about mini painting and my other 'nerdy' obsessions. (He/Him)

@MiddiMidori Sounds interesting. Thank you!

Finished pics of my tiefling bust painted as Jester (and yes, she's reading Tusk Love). Concept art of the figure by @Rainy_Mage and sculpt by João Ferreira.

Opening up another slot. I have 20usd in my bank account and rent is due. Shares super appreciated. I'm sorry to bother you all ♡

[David Powell @MiniPainterDave]

@MountnThatRoars Me too. It's like a cross between twitter and artstation, so more of a focus on artists. And it is anti-unethical AI, so no data mining. With Meta making it almost impossible to opt out of their AI training, seems like a lot of artists are giving Cara a try

[David Powell @MiniPainterDave]

I’m over on Cara now. Feel free to comment with your profile so I and others can find you there too.

@Mel__Senechall Thank you, that’s very kind. You’re welcome to DM here or on Instagram (also @MiniPainterDave )

Took a workshop last weekend with Ivan Hortal. I painted most of the bust there and then wrapped up the rest at home over the past few days. Great class and a fun sculpt to work on!

Finally got around to taking pics of Nancy from #NekoGalaxy. I had a blast with this kit and tried to create a scene that fit the story implied by the sculpt. Hope you enjoy it as well!

I’m making steady progress on my version of #jester. I’m really happy with how she’s turning out and I’m excited to use her as a demo piece in my classes at #KublaCon later this month!

#KublaCon starts in a month. They've got a great group of painting instructors lined up and I'll be teaching 3 classes. I'm really excited for the topics, so check them and all the other offerings out at TableTopEvents.

@dry_gins Remember what you loved about them and just take some time to enjoy your own art. If you’re able to find a smaller local painting competition, that can also help boost your confidence. Your work is levels about the typical painter, doesn’t hurt to have a reminder of that 😉

[David Powell @MiniPainterDave]

@dry_gins When you’re inundated with amazing work online or at highly competitive shows, it can skew your expectations and cause you to doubt yourself. Take a social media break and go look at your own work, especially if you can review older work next to newer and see how far you’ve come

[David Powell @MiniPainterDave]

@VictorDebatisse Thank you! It’s a sculpt I commissioned to paint myself and also for workshops. I’ll be using this and a smaller version for a couple different classes

[David Powell @MiniPainterDave]

Started painting the larger version of my #tiefling bust. Of course I had to paint her as #JesterLavorre. Still deciding if I’ll have her holding her sketchbook or a copy of Tusk Love

@LumieChan @CritRoleFanart Thanks! The sculpt was made by João Ferreira and it's something I commissioned to use in painting classes at conventions this coming year. This is the mini version and then there's a larger one for longer workshops.

[David Powell @MiniPainterDave]

Painting my tiefling mini-bust. I've got an idea for a class on fantasy skin tones, so I'm testing things out with some #criticalrolefanart themed pieces. I started with a #JesterLavorre one and up next is a color scheme based on #ZahraHydris.

@hailiiz My favorite projects, both 75mm scale figure. I was able to give Molly to Taliesin. I haven’t gotten around to finishing Jester yet, but I hopefully will soon!

[David Powell @MiniPainterDave]

A personal milestone in my own artistic journey and one that also allowed me to have an amazing experience surprising Taliesin with it!

(saw this on the tl w/ another fandom but—)

[David Powell @MiniPainterDave]

Here's a look at a figure I commissioned for my workshops in 2024. Concept art by @Rainy_Mage and sculpted by João Ferreira. Thank you so much, I can't wait to paint her and share the figure in my classes!
