Painting Project: ELITE – Heroes | Miniature Painting with Contrast & Zenithal #lotusthalia #cmon

Description provided by Lotus Thalia on YouTube:

The battle for Earth begins. In this first episode of my Project: ELITE miniature painting series, I paint the first three heroes: Gilgamesh, Kinji, and Vaker. Starting with a zenithal prime, I use transparent paints, metallics, washes, and selective edge highlights to create bold tabletop-ready miniatures that remain highly readable during gameplay while preserving plenty of depth and contrast. Rather than chasing competition-level detail, this series focuses on practical painting techniques that deliver strong visual impact for board game miniatures. Whether you're looking for inspiration, painting ideas, or simply enjoy watching miniatures come to life, I hope this series gives you something useful to take back to your own hobby desk.
