So I picked up Ninja All Stars mainly for the SDE stuff. I'm working on painting it up first. I spent some time rebasing them as well so they are on SDE bases instead of the thinner NAS ones. Here is the Hidden Shrine Mystic first. I wanted him to be very simple, as a wandering priest would be. His basket was fun to paint.

Oh wow! That shading is so striking!
Would you mind posting a FAQ on how you do it? On the robes especially, it looks like woodcut paintings!

Love the bold shading style, very unique. You'll have a really striking set once you're done!

That is a fantastic paint-job and I bet your minis will look great on the table-top, Eternaldream.

Thank you for sharing!

Hidden Shrine Infiltrator up next:






As for my technique, I give everyone a black prime. Then I paint around the recesses to leave those black outlines. I try to use very vibrant colors. Then once the basecoat is done, I do 2 levels of highlights. Takes some time, but it's well worth it.

neat. like cell-shading... like

Yeah, it's really neat indeed.
Looks very cartoony in a good way
