I ve been playing around with watercolor on some none gaming related projects and of course I couldn't resist attempting some minis. So I worked out a method for producing some minis inspired by the feel of my typical cartoon style and my sCRAP paper minis idea along with Calvin and Hobbes, and a dose of Schoolhouse Rocks and I original did these for examples below.

I have used watercolours to upcycle my white test-build ships into pieces I could use in a game. I think what I like best about paper minis is that you can colour them in the computer at 400% magnification. You seem to have done a good job without that benefit.

I like them. They have a very distinct character. Would be like gaming with illustrations from a children's book... Great for first time dungeoneering with the kids!

A great deal of Fiddler's Green's work make me think that they had done their texturing with watercolors and then scanned them in, particularly their line of English houses. www.fiddlersgreen.net/

With my watercoloring, 70s animation is a big influence. I love the era, I wish it had a name or maybe it does and I don't know it. Things like the tootsie pop commercial "how many licks" stuck with me

I'd be curious to know his technique

Many of Chip's early models were done in a manner similar to that used in miniatures. He would do a pencil sketch, make a copy, do a white-build, and if it worked, he would do an inked version of the copy. This would be watercolored and scanned.
Some of the early scanned models have scanning errors, so there are some fit issues on some of the models. Virtually all of the models done by the designers in the last five years are done digitally.
Chip's models do have a certain charm that can't be achieved easily when designing digitally. I'm just glad that Scott is keeping it going after Chip's passing.

Most of my work is done in the "modern" paper miniature style. Im curious if it is watercooler as to his technique
