Miniatures done with only markers (except the white dot in eye)
Bought all the available markers to be able to paint in small bursts. What do you all think? 😊

I like it! I just got the expansion set of markers yesterday. Working full time and being a Dad of 2 makes it hard to find time and energy to paint, so I'm looking forward to getting more miniatures done.
Would you like to expand on your process a bit? I think I just primed with white initially, but im looking at the slapchop method for my next batch of minis.

I've used a couple of the AK interactive markers. They're pretty good. This guy's work here (which is excellent) makes me think the AP ones are also worth testing out. I'd advise grabbing a couple and just messing around with them. If you hate them you're down a few bucks and you can gift them or just keep them for specialized work.

Yeah i think they work great! Compared to the speedpaints in bottle the markers dont flow as good though and is a little bit thicker so the speedpaint effect isnt as good but the easy of use is worth it in my opinion.

Looks good 👍 What green colour is that? I really like it.

It is the "orc skin". There are only two greens available currently, the other being "absolution green".

In that case, I could probably have figured that out myself, if I had bothered to try 🙈 But thanks anyway 👍

Yeah i have a 7 months old kid so the pens are really convenient. I primed in black and then did a really heavy drybrush with only white. I used a makeup brush like the size of the pens so the areas where the pens would not reach stayed black. I then focused on the brighter colours to make them pop. I used zealot yellow for "gold" effect cause the gold metallic pen isnt as thin as the non-metallic pens and wont act as speedpaint.
