Lady Ligeia has been painted, and seriously, isn't she just creepy! Thought I'd be cute and add some flowers to her base too 🤗 #minipainting #miniature #malifaux #painting #fantasy #dnd #wargaming

The Montresor from #malifaux was such a cool model to paint! Thought I'd give him a sickly green skin to show his "undead-ness". More Malifaux soon! 🔥 #minipainting #painting #wargaming #miniatures #dnd #fantasy

It's been a while since I've posted anything - sorry! Here's some fun minis I've painted recently to make up for it! I wonder what games I can use then for... #minipainting #miniatures #wargaming #scifi #fantasy #dnd

I absolutely LOVED building the HG Mighty Strike Freedom #gunpla 🔥 I gotta build more kits soon 😁 #hobby #painting

A pretty unique mini - A mountain dwarf with sinister intentions... Loved painting this one, as it was definitely a different look than my other works. #minipainting #miniatures #painting #dnd #dwarves #fantasy

Friendly Reminder - Terrain is important too! These were fun to make; A combination of 3D printing + garbage to make cool things 😞 #miniaturepainting #minipaining #terrain #wargaming #scifi #fantasy #painting

Been delving into something I also love - GUNPLA! Here's one I've been working on lately: A surprisingly complex SD model (SDW Heroes Wukong Impulse)! #gunpla #gundam #hobby #painting #minipainting #mechs

Mouse from #malifaux was a joy to paint, but honestly a PAIN to build! 😂 Gave him a cool base tho, cause he be running on cracked lava-rock ground🔥 #minipainting #miniatures #painting #ttrpg #dnd #wargaming

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Oh cool - #malifaux ?! Quickly painted up some Union Miners. Honestly might go back to redo some parts, but I wanted them to have a "dirty/worn down" look to show that they were working harder than my paint job 🤣 #minipainting #painting #miniatures #dnd #ttrpg #wargaming

I wish I had a photo honestly 😆 I think it was so bad that I was ashamed to have it on my shelf at the time. Early days were a fun time haha

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Another mini that needed a glow-up from the early days. It's a pain to go back sometimes and redo your old work, but it makes happy brain chemicals when it's done, so... 😅 #minipainting #miniatures #painting #dnd #ttrpg #pathfinder

More big stompy robots! Read up on the clans of #battletech and am tempted to follow the canon colors. But who cares about paint schemes? It looks cool and I like it 😆 #minipainting #miniatures #painting #catalystlabs

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

Incredible job - especially love the kilt! 🔥 Got any tips for doing freehand patterns?

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

Let's get some mechs on the feed! Idk much about #battletech, but I've been reading up on some of the lore and rules. I wanna get some more painted soon! #miniatures #minipainting #painting #catalystlabs

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Absolutely 😁 Was a very cool project to do - I've always loved Asian Mythology and Anthropomorphic warriors, so this was an insta-buy when I saw it haha 😆

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

You might be right 👍 I bought it off someone at a local show, so I'm not 100% sure, but it's a cool mini nonetheless 😆

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Thank you! 🙏 I think the original model is from cobramode.com, but I bought it off someone at a local miniature show. Too cool to pass up on it 😜

Thank you! 🙏 Yes, Usagi was definitely an inspiration here 😆

Did you paint this one up too? Would love to see your take on it! 😁

Just finished this samurai bunny🐰, now becoming one of my favorite minis to date! So cute and cool ⛩️ #minipainting #miniatures #dnd #painting #ttrpg #fantasy #feudaljapan #samurai

That's right 👍 Slay the grey!

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

It's ok to redo and repaint your miniatures! These monks went through the ringer in the early days, so I decided to bring a little more life into them. Absolutely worth it! #minipainting #miniatures #painting #dnd #ttrpg #pathfinder

Sometimes, posting on Reddit takes an arm and a leg (maybe your soul too) before the mods allow it on their feed 😕 Sorry, random and quick rant.

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

My last #infinitythegame unit (for now)! Wolfgang looks feral and I love it! 🐯 Hope to get some more #corvusbelli models soon, but gotta get through some of my pile first 😅 #minipainting #painting #miniatures

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Skeleton King 🦴👑 He was a model I found that didn't have a weapon included in the box (weird). So I have him an axe hehe 😄 Turned out cool tho #minipainting #painting #miniatures #dnd #ttrpg #pathfinder

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

I did a challenge for this #infinitythegame Ariadna model - NO WASHES. Not bad for a go at it, tho I think I'm going to go back and create some black lining and shadows. #minipainting #miniatures #painting

Another blast to the past... to 4 months ago 😂 Very pwetty dwarven lady. #minipainting #painting #miniatures #dnd #ttrpg #pathfinder

Noted - thanks for the tip! ☺️

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Another #infinitythegame model - she was a cool one! Tried pushing the highlights a bit more in some areas. I think more contrast is the way to go. Practice, practice, practice! #minipainting #painting #miniatures #corvusbelli

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Back on the #corvusbelli #infinitythegame grind! Spent some time practicing some NMM on this Nomad fella's visor. How'd I do? #minipainting #painting #miniatures

Some more gobbo photos of the archer that I forgot to add!

I thought a witch doctor in a black cloak was boring, so I gave her a white cloak instead! 🧙‍♀️ 🥼 #dnd #pathfinder #pf2e #ttrpg #minipainting #miniatures #painting

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

One of my #ttrpg players was so excited she could play a Kitsune in our campaign. Of course I had to give her mini a nice coat of paint on! 🦊 #pathfinder #pf2e #minipainting #painting #miniatures #dnd

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Kind words 😊 The minipainting community is honestly so great 👍 I've only started a couple years ago and still see myself as a beginner, but have gained and improved so much thanks to people's encouragement and tips. Slay the grey when you can - would love to see your work someday too 🔥

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Thanks so much! I believe I got it from Galaad Miniatures. I loved the design so much that I had to get it! Would love to see your take on it when you got paint on yours 😜

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Wtf is this? For a few models and a book? This is getting ridiculous 😡 #warhammer #AoS #unhappy #gamesworkshop

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

An evil prophet in my #ttrpg campaign! I hate painting white so much, but I think he turned out pretty good 👍 #dnd #minipainting #miniatures #painting #pathfinder #pf2e

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

OMG, this was adorable to paint 🤗 One of my friends wanted to play as a minion in my current #ttrpg campaign, but she loved this mini so much that she chose this one to represent her character. Yes, she's still a minion in-game 😆 #minipainting #miniatures #dnd #pf2e #pathfinder #painting

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

One of my favorites to this day - a dark paladin! A player in my #ttrpg campaign wanted to play an evil paladin that tries to do good. Super fun concept with a super fun mini! #dnd #pf2e #pathfinder #minipainting #painting #miniatures

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

As a resident mega-nerd, I'm obviously into #dnd and other #ttrpgs🧙 Here is a catfolk wizard I've painted up for a friend who's in my current campaign. More to come! #minipainting #painting #miniatures #wizard #summoner #pf2e #pathfinder

More #corvusbelli #infinitythegame 🔥 This Ariadna unit was so cool to paint! Don't ask how many times I've accidentally taken him off his base tho 🤫 #minipainting #miniatures #painting

Ryan Yip @flooftheshark.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Finished this amazing Ariadna sniper from #corvusbelli #infinitythegame - LOVED painting the camo effects on this one! 😍 #minipainting #painting #miniatures
