C...Cthulhu...?
— Yun (@yuji___55) December 26, 2023
The distinctive feature of the Cthulhu I summoned (painted) is his eyes! I painted eyes into all the recesses in his body. So you can see his eyes from any angle!
I also paid special attention to the shadows on the skin.
I've only been painting for half a year, and I'm still learning every day, but I look forward to working with you! https://t.co/f8hT54vD4f #CMONPaintpic.twitter.com /iMez7BXTZG

— Tsuchinoko (@NemesisLdJpn) December 19, 2023
I love Marvel movies, so I used CMON's painting examples as a reference and painted as carefully as possible. The key point is that I painted the metal parts without using metal colors. https://t.co/7gibqPZZmG #CMONPaintpic.twitter.com /6dW0rk5yoF

Marvel Zombies!
I managed to paint all the miniatures by this time!
The figures are well-made, so I had fun trying out different painting techniques and imagining what each one would do while painting! pic.twitter.com/VT8pot5fR4

This was my first miniature board game and my first time painting, but the figures are so well sculpted that just a little paint makes them look great, and the game itself is more immersive and fun!

DMD is actually a good game! I'm looking forward to the fear of the unknown.
— Goderl Stoneaxe (@GoderlS) December 9, 2023
I painted it with the aim of highlighting the unevenness so that the details of the miniature can be enjoyed, and not burying the face of the master. It was a fun time. https://t.co/dVreT3q8h1 #CMONPaintpic.twitter.com /XD9JeRGEdB

I tried my best to make Zombie Hulk's muscles and veins stand out and make him look muscular.

There are other big and cool monsters, but I like trolls because they are rugged.

All the pieces were very cool and it was a lot of fun to paint them.

Massive Darkness Magical Warrior Elias This model is wonderful with its robe that flows in the style of Elias, and its imposing figure holding up a staff and sword. The key points are the robe with a gray to white gradient and gold trim, and the green jewel attached to the staff. https://t.co/fr7xlex8Lg #CMONPaint #MassiveDarknesspic.twitter.com / o1XidXex4N

I've loved Zombicide since the original and have been enjoying painting a lot of it! This is my first painted piece! The figures are of such high quality that they're fun to paint and play with, it's the best!!!
Let's have fun painting 😆 https://t.co/uqdISClRII #CMONPaintpic.twitter.com /uoTPa4Q1lh

I tried painting for the first time, thinking that even if I failed, it would just be a special edition for one person. I wanted a shiny satin fabric, so I used metallic red. Apron? I used regular red for the emblem on the chest, but it was hard to tell the difference. I used plastic surgery color for the skin, but it came out better than I expected, so I think I'll try collecting some tools in the future.

Painting a board game miniature for the first time to participate in CMONJapan's painting contest ( ´∀｀)
— Fujita (who entered the board game swamp in November) (@fjtpca) December 21, 2023
I chose the Cthulhu, whose wavy appearance is very appealing. The different colors are expressed differently by different people, so it's fun to watch and also useful as a reference, so I hope more and more people will join in! #CMONPaintpic.twitter.com /JeQsc4vPwC

I tried painting Hastur, the god of death.
This board game comes with wonderful miniatures so you can both paint and play, making it great value!
I aimed for a vivid (lifelike) coloring, such as the tight skin. https://t.co/N3mQHZ0B8l #CMONPaintpic.twitter.com/ DzYWkIf0zb

The base it stands on also has intricate details that are in keeping with the character, so it's well worth painting.
The secret point is that the colors of the red capes of the three characters are changed slightly #CMONPaintpic.twitter.com /hqvEtt9rlr

I love the cool monster pieces from Blood Rage. I'd like to have a card set that can be used in Massive Darkness and other games. Also, I recommend adding decoration parts sold at 100 yen shops to fantasy characters to make them stand out. #CMONPaintpic.twitter.com / CBE6GX9YiC

Richard the Lionheart
— 🅰Ⓜ🅾 (@katsumoku3) December 25, 2023
Big monsters are good, but I like these! I painted them with the intention of breathing life into the characters, such as Richard the Lionheart, Robin Hood, and the Sheriff of Nottingham, who are all familiar faces to gamers. I also paid as much attention as possible to the size of the gazes and pupils. https://t.co/GvYPXPrii2 #CMONPaintpic.twitter.com /IPYw8P9aQ6

The countless craters on its back glowed with rainbow colors in time with the pulsation of its dimly glowing shoulders, and at the same time, a clear liquid was dripping out of its claws, which looked nothing more than metal, but it was impossible to tell what the tentacle-like things extending from its mouth were made of.
I tried to achieve that feeling. Check out the video! pic.twitter.com/d7WiwQcx6R

Queen Lilith from "Massive Darkness" is a threat that I have encountered many times and struggled with, so I tried to make her feel intimidating. I paid particular attention to the representation of the snake's scales and the detailed gold decoration of her armor.
