Cant say the skin looks dead but it gives sick vibes at the least. Still need to do the dark fingertips and toes and of course dirty it all up at the end #3dprint #ca3dstudios #minipainting #undeadbride

Something ive been thinking alot about and no one ever agreed on an answer is what makes people people, like would a alien species be considered people or something completely different. Some say yes others tell me only humans can be people. Anyway heres my next project. undead bride by ca3dstudio

The two things I've been working on all week when I haven't been having to deal with the drama at work, I swear manufacturing has more drama then you would think I delt with less in school back in the day

Random thought I had today, wonder if the old morse code people ever sent messages so when people transcribe them they got simple images like ASCII art. Like they get a message are confused at the gibberish mark it all down and then realize it's a hand flipping them off made of the dots and dashes

You know I think that little hydra head is the best paint job I've ever done or at least feels like it in the moment. Did decide I'm gonna repaint the hair #3dprinted #minipainting #artisanguildminiatures #miniaturepainting

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Im probably always going to default to layer painting but I am trying to get better and choosing what to highlight based on light rather then what I want the eye drawn to. Seem to be doing all right even If the are areas I left completely shadow tone #3dprinted #minipainting #artisanguildminiatures

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Finally getting around to actually doing eyes (all three colors) on minis honestly think I did way better then I though I could do #3dprinted #minipainting #artisanguildminiatures #miniaturepainting

Something something color theory that I've never understood I just like bright vibrant colors and sometimes I want them all at once and what better place then a heavy metal kobold #3dprinted #minipainting #bitethebullet #bitethebulletminiatures #miniaturepainting

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Was playing around with inks for thining and using them to brighten up the paint for highlights #3dprinted #minipainting #bitethebullet #bitethebulletminiatures #miniaturepainting

2x Reading glass really do make a difference when painting eyes, doubt I'll use them all that much outside of that but definitely came in handy. Anyway he's pretty much done just have a bit of the base left to finish #3dprint #malcomreynolds #h3llcreator #firefly #minipainting

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Heat wave finally broke so work should be nice today. Got the flag mostly done A think the head is the last major thing left to do then a bunch of odds and ends #3dprint #malcomreynolds #h3llcreator #firefly #minipainting

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Did a little detail work on the body. Started the flag but masking didn't go well will probably repaint it. Also battle cat was on sale for 20 bucks so picked up another and started painting it as a Guenhwyvar the one that came with Drizzt is to small #h3llcreator #firefly #minipainting

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Decide to start journaling no idea why and been trying to find people telling myths harder then one would think. Anyway Mal is coming along did use the airbush the pants at the end to help blend it together a bit #3dprint #malcomreynolds #h3llcreator #firefly #minipainting

Can't take credit for using lipstick holders as a paint rack but I will take credit for sticking them on a lazy Susan. Can fit I think around 600 paints on basic a small pop up table saved me so much space figured I'd share never see anyone talk about them #paintrack #minipainting #hobbyspace

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Slow day at work, pre inventory sucks just as bad as inventory, anyway started on the pants today still need to get up to a whiter/cream color for the highlights. #3dprint #malcomreynolds #h3llcreator #firefly #minipainting

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Gave myself a hour to paint this mini and testing somethings just to see how I could do without worrying about blends and brush strokes and everything else just slapping paint on it . Far far from perfect but I'm happy with it #miniature #minipainting #warhammer

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Honestly forgot I had a blue sky, going to start to use it figure I ll post random thoughts and whatbot along with what I paint cause why not. Anyway current project is Capt tight pants himself #3dprint #malcomreynolds #h3llcreator #firefly #minipainting

Slightly late but happy pride, here Xena I painted up for pride. I maybe straight but a ton of media I consumed growing up was pretty heavily gay coded and i still love it to this day.

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Yaaaaay started on the skin tones, one of this days I'll figure out hyper realistic skin tones but not today I like my slight comic/cartoon vibe I tend to end up with #3dprint #3dprinted #ca3dstudios #statuepainting #minipainting #3dprintingmodel #xena #xenawarriorprincess

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

Got Xena finally printed out While idk if she is still a huge gay icon she definitely was in the mid to late 90s ( I may be straight but I oddly consumed a ton of gay content, yes I was the weird kid) #3dprint #3dprinted #ca3dstudios #statuepainting #minipainting #3dprintingmodel #xena #pride

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

Shes definitely coming along love the way the gloves came out, kinda wish I had done the dress the same way #3dprint #3dprinted #ritualdesign #statuepainting #minipainting #3dprintingmodel #saloongirl

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Been working on this piece that beat me years ago due to the stockings (which I nailed this time), decide to try out freckles cause I never see them on figures and why not #3dprint #3dprinted #ritualdesign #statuepainting #minipainting #3dprintingmodel #saloongirl

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 25/05/2025

Think all that's left is touchups, varnish and felt and he should be done, so fingers crossed should be done tomorrow #3dprint #3dprinted #lafigures #statuepainting #minipainting #3dprintingmodel #deadpool

030

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Boots and gloves doneish, think I'm nearing the finish line, still thinking about the base don't really want to add more red so thinking either steel for juggs helmet ala Deadpool 2 or maybe even a bronze cause why not. #3dprint #3dprinted #statuepainting #minipainting #3dprintingmodel #deadpool

070

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

For as much time I spent on it today don't really look like I got much done lol, leather bits and bobs are mostly done, settled on how I want to do the gloves and boots and got one glove done. #3dprint #3dprinted #statuepainting #minipainting #3dprintingmodel #deadpool

020

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

I nailed the half face in my humble opinion anyway. Base suit is mostly done, still need to do the leather belts and stuff, and figure out what I'm doing with the gloves and boots. #3dprint #3dprinted #lafigures #statuepainting #minipainting #3dprintingmodel #deadpool

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Think I'm getting better with the airbrush, reds are pretty much done even went in with a dark red speed paint to hit a few shadow areas and add some definition in a few spots. #3dprint #3dprinted #lafigures #statuepainting #minipainting #3dprintingmodel #deadpool

020

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

I did add magnets to the heads and backpacks, anyway he is gap filled and primed, though I need to figure out a better way to gap fill swappable parts but that's a next time problem #3dprint #3dprinted #statuepainting #minipainting #deadpool

020

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

Ended up having to drill out and though the neck socket, a little UV putty and good as new just need to gap fill the heads and I'm going to pass on adding magnets (it went wrong hince the drilling) #3dprint #3dprinted #statuepainting #minipainting #deadpool

020

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

Still way to deep in oblivion ( and somehow have only finished the DB and arena) anyway got everything printed still prepping it it, will say this little engraving tool is a god send with getting into some small areas #3dprint #3dprinted #deadpool #statuepainting #minipainting

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Didn't plan on doing another Deadpool so soon but there are a few people if asked I'll do something so here I am printing and prepping another Deadpool

Got annoyed with the floor to many sharp clear lines to clean up, so went with a old beat up tiled floor look. final pics later tonight probably #3dprint #3dprinted #torridaminis #statuepainting #minipainting #2brokegirls

020

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Think I managed to nail that pleather look for the chair even if it don't show up much on camera. Need to do some clean up and then weathering on the floor. Once that's done just a few odds and ends #3dprint #3dprinted #torridaminis #statuepainting #minipainting #2brokegirls

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Spent way to much time revisiting Oblivion this weekend but finished up Caroline ( really need to get better at makeup) , pretty much just the base left to do #3dprint #3dprinted #torridaminis #statuepainting #minipainting #2brokegirls

After butchering her hair yesterday (to bright and streaky) managed to repaint it into something I like better yeah dry brushing is cheating and don't look the best but it works and works well enough for me on this anyway #3dprint #3dprinted #torridaminis #statuepainting #minipainting #2brokegirls

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Might redo the pearls as not quite happy with how they turned out, that being said im getting better on clean up on the skin tones still things to learn to get it to where it's seemless #3dprint #3dprinted #torridaminis #statuepainting #minipainting #2brokegirls

060

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

Not much left to do on Max, really just need to finish up Caroline and then the base #3dprint #3dprinted #torridaminis #statuepainting #minipainting #2brokegirls

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Still hate painting non mini skin tones but it is getting easier and easier to get results I like. Will probably work some more on them later but for now I'm going to go die in monster hunter for awhile #3dprint #3dprinted #torridaminis #statuepainting #minipainting #2brokegirls

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

Red came out pretty good, hit that bright but muted red I wanted (aka ketchup ) didn't want to mess with the skin and masking things off so I just knocked the boots out #3dprint #3dprinted #torridaminis #statuepainting #minipainting #2brokegirls

040

Duo Gemstone @duogemstone.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

I should really figure how to take better pics color is always slightly off and some transitions don't show up at all. Anyway the yellow is done and the red has a reddish brown base/undercoat put on #3dprint #3dprinted #torridaminis #statuepainting #minipainting #2brokegirls
