Its An Unfinished FROG WIZARD! The Drawing Isnt Ready Yet But Love How He Turned Out So Far. Still Want

I found these plastic dinosaur minies and decided to paint them to look like Lucky and Wuerhosaurus from paleo pines & and i will show you all the steps in case you want to do something like this yourself

This was my firs time painting minie figures and i tried using the same techniques people use for DnD figures so you can just look up those tutorials on youtube.

I found these ugly plastic dinosaurs on at a flee market for like 5 hryvnias and this is how they looked before their makeover:

First thing i did was wash them with soap and strip off all the spray paint from them using polish remover/acetone, untill they were this weird yellowish plastic color. (Idk if this step was necessary but i wanted to romoves all the dirt & dust so the paint sticks better)

Then i painted them fully with a dark color. I dont advise using pure black. I used a more dark-ish grey with a bit of blue so the undertone works better.

By the way here are these mfs near a match (for size comparison ofc).

Next i dry-brushed them with a cream color to bring out the texture and leave the dark color in the creases and shadows. I had to go over with a few coats so that they were not too dark.

Fore some reason they made these guys all wrinkly instead of scaly but it did help with the texture lol.

(The more i looked at them the more i saw how weird and inaccurate they are. Still cute though)

And the last steps were to cover them in colorfull washes:

The key is to go slowly, building up the colors layer by layer. I also added a bit of different hues in some places to make the colors less more alive (like a bit of pink on the plates, or some green in certain places idk it just gives more variety to the colors. with out it it the colors look a bit monotonous).

Also, seriously go play the game!!!! it`s just so cute. Dinosaur designs are cutified but still faithfull to how the animal looked according to science (minus the pastel colors lol) and you just know that it was made by true dinosaur lovers.

They do have a tumblr blog at @paleopinesofficial but i see their content more on tiktok

Love y'all!

"I will stop hitting you... but you have to put down the pepper spray, you cant hold it in your hand... and you cant keep keys in your pocket either. No you cant go to self defence or the gym. No you cant get stuff from your friends either, why would you need to... In fact you cant own a pepper sparay at all, you wouldn`t need it"

sO putin agreed to possible ceasfire... but the rules are that Ukraine can't: - do moblization - do training - receive weapons during that ceasfire... 🤔 Huh... So its "We are at peace... but you have to be in a MAX vulnerable and unpreperred position in case i (defintely dont) attack you again" "We are at peace... but i don`t trust you to have any ability or resource to defend yourself... It`s a danger to me (In a case where i attack you)"

I made this character design for a "texture" themed assignment and I really like how the colors turned out (though I'm still not sure about the background).

Also this was my first time using blending modes in krita. No idea why it took me so long to get to it, but it's seriously life changing

Can`t believe i finally got back on my ADHD meds, to be able to participate in society actively...only for it to go to shit... more than it was. Just in time. I can watch political turmoil with a good attention span and an ability to concentrate

Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3

Fun fact: If you ask Deep Seek about Tiananmen Square in English or most other languages, it says it can`t give you an answer...

But if you ask it in Ukrainian though...

I had a dream where i legit started feeling empathy for butter. I just saw a block of butter on a pan and was immediately overrun with immence feelings of grief and pity, thinking about how butter feels when it`s cut or melted.

It felt like i was actually FEELING the butter`s emotions. Then i woke up and was like...WHAT

I actually found a weevil in my home once and was shocked how tiny they are. It was still like seeing a celebrity, i was like "OMG is this the bug, the myth, the legend? The snoots and boots insects i`ve been reading about and seeing photos of? In MY house? Visiting ME?" Took some photos and let the lil guy out

Bug of the day: WEEVIL!!!

This is a weevil appreciation post

What insects should I draw next?
