Beginning of this year I was sitting in the exact same spot for my coaching. Best experience of my whole year. Roman is just one the most pleasent humans imagineable and a well of knowledge.
Is it just certain items on sale? Nothing ever showed up when I went to check out…thanks for any help!
@@beaupatton1587 let me go check! edit: got it fixed :)
Appreciate it!
This is an amazing video.
You’re not just an amazing artist but also a skilled videographer and storyteller. Great video and what a wonderful message by Roman in the end.
Thank you so much. It's really hard to internalize these compliments. Sometimes it feels like they slide off my back a little as I hunt for the negativity. I think other people are amazing artists, so for someone else to use those same words about myself is honestly indescribable for me. I am grateful for such a nice and patient community. It's really hard to remember you guys when I feel like I'm messing up but y'all are there.
@@Miniac Take the compliment! You’ve earned it. Looking forward to the next one (and the next podcast with Jon)!
Completely inspiring and heartfelt! You and Ninjon are my favorite painters. What Roman is for you, you are for me. So thank you Scott!
I agree. I think both their videos and style are perfect for me.
Scott, my dude. What a wonderful video. Not just then content, but all the hard work of producing something creative, vulnerable, and honest. So much of this hobby is only-hands and technique, it chases GW around like it they are waiting for senpai to notice. I really appreciate who you are choosing to be on UA-cam. Also, f*ck the algorithm that Shatterpoint video was magic.
This was so heartfelt, it made me tear up a little. Seeing your passion and struggles with imposter syndrome hit close to home. I'm glad you had an awesome time with Roman!
for real. i'm not even sure my real life friends would say something like that let alone a near-stranger.
This was a dope review of your once in a lifetime experience. More importantly, props to you for doing something for yourself and filling your tank!
The amount of people you have brought into the community has cemented your place in the hall of hobby legends alone. Your an amazing painter, production artist & entertainer. Thank you so much for your all your hard work and openness to your emotion, it has brought me personally many hours of education, entertainment and introspection. The past few years would have been much darker without you for all your fans and friends. Love ya Scott!
Thank you so much. So many nice compliments ❤
Loved the journey. You definitely do deserve to be there amongst all the greats!
Thank you, Winter!
True ❤
I believe this to be your greatest video so far, you're an inspiration to me, Scott my dude.
This is awesome, but my heart sank in worry when you said you almost ruined it for yourself cuz…. Of what happened at WH world
Ugh that was so rough. Pictures never cost so much. Nothing like that could ever happen again. But I'm only few minutes into video
People often say "Don't meet your heroes, they'll only disappoint you.". I've met a few of mine, and they were wonderful. I'm glad you got to have a wonderful experience with a wonderful hero. It's great to see established artists taking an interest in helping others to move forward as well.
The sheer volume of amazing miniatures at the event was staggering. Plus, I loved the dog outside... :)
Man, imposter syndrome can be really overwhelming. I've been in similar situations with my heros in the foamsmithing community. It sometimes it feels impossible to think people we look up to can see value in our work. Glad you got that chance!
A really nice video about the validation hell we often live in as UA-camrs.
It can feel like you live to serve the numbers, not the audience that got us here if we're to continue to grow, because that's the system that's been built for us to work in on UA-cam, it's really surprising how hard it is to *not* get sucked into the dopamine/stress machine that is YT studio.
The imposter syndrome can be VERY real but yeah dude you absolutely deserve to be where you are, always love your approach to and mindset around the hobby.
Keep doin' the thing dude ❤
I don’t often comment on videos, but I have to for this one only to say that, as a longtime viewer of your channel, I think this is your best to date by a huge margin. This isn’t to diminish any of your past content, but only to say you’ve elevated your game as immensely with this. I look forward to your attempts to top it.
Very true. I agree!
Awesome journal Scott. Also the mini showcase at @13:00 was insane!
I attended a 2 day class with Roman in the UK June 2023 and it was amazing. He’s such a great human being and really help me in creating an atmosphere for my minis… I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and, as an Italian; I’m glad you attended Monte San Savino too. !!
I don’t know if this comment will even be read by Scott at this point. But I wanted to place a somewhat long and frankly unnecessary take about this video in particular.
It caused me to feel a thrill for painting again. I have never lost that feeling, but this reinvigorated it. Often I wonder if I could pull off painting full time, if I could develop the skills necessary by dropping everything else. But realistically, that’s entirely impossible even if only a dream. Like the majority of viewers and hobbyists, I have a full time job. Actually, I would say it’s closer to a 1.5x full time job where I average 45 hours a week and often up to 60 or 70 hours.
Many of the skills I have developed for painting translate into my job, and vice versa actually. I frequently think of drilling my barrels while I am attempting to place a screw perfectly in the center of a burr hole cover. I don’t paint while using a microscope, but I think about starting to because almost every surgery I am involved in uses a microscope. Unless a true emergency, tumor resections happen in a surgical spaces 3-4 inches large at maximum, and the most sensitive of touch is of utmost concern.
All this to say, you inspire me to progress and I yearn to attempt so. But fear I never will. For time.
Love seeing yours and Ninjon’s takes on mini painting - more than just slapping paints on plastic - but the society that has built up around the hobby, and how it has a positive effect on mental health.
Great work, keep grinding mate, you’ve got this.
Nobody is better at being you than you. Don’t allow altruism to damage you. Give The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand a read and see if you find the ideas in it helpful. Seeing people I value and admire suffer from guilt, imposter syndrome, and other pathologies, is heartbreaking. The good news is you can put a stop to it. Roman is right not to be primarily concerned with others and it’s a primary cause of his greatness.
Seeing the works of art at the show reminded me that there is whole another level of painting then just painting large armies. Amazing.
Wow, what a great video. Not just amazing storytelling, but excellent videography. Kudos.
Phenomenal! Keep on Happy Painting :-)
:)
That mini at 13:10 where the torchlight is casting shadows on the wall is *chefs kiss*
Was best of show of monte 🙌
@@AsteroidTVGaming ah good to know, thanks.
I remember the first time i saw the last Light, I'd never seen a diorama before, well maybe some small ones, but that blew my mind, I understand you having feelings of not belonging and being an imposter, I get it just from watching these videos so to go through that must have been intense, but you are genuinely one of my idols and you definitely deserved to be there, your work is phenomenal and if I could be 10% the artist you are I'd be ecstatic, we'll done sir!
Love this type of video, Scott. Don't worry about the views, these videos are inspiring as hell for the real viewership of your channel. The people who watch to be entertained, informed and educated. The WH40k community won't click it and give you the additional 40,000 views, but the folks who do click it are the heart of your audience.
Gorgeous paint job and what an amazing experience you must have had. Live that life, man!
Great video. It’s funny I had never heard of Roman until just a few days ago and discovered his website (I LOVE dioramas so his stuff is right up my alley).. It’s just funny that one of my favorite channels then does a video with him.
Scott, I hope you know - you ARE that "Roman" to a world of mini-painters & content-creators. This video was so well-scripted and perfectly crafted on ALL LEVELS; absolute teir1 content sir. BRAVO!! ❤🤘👏👏👏
(That snippet from Roman was goddamn beautfiful; *legit-single-tear-material* 🥲)
The planets aligned for you, but your gravity draws good people towards you, it’s weird hearing you say things, others (me) feel about you. We reap what we sow, I’m so happy you got to meet one of your inspirations and hopefully, you’ll share that inspiration with your followers. Another fantastic thought provoking video. We sir (your community) salute you……..
There is nothing about our hobby like Monte San Savino show. Heartwarming, great chance to meet and talk to the artists and a pleasure for eyes
DUDE!!! MAKE MORE!!!!
MAWR MAWR MAWR!!! You are a GREAT UA-camr and painter!!! I look forward to your shit
This might be my favorite video you've done yet. I really enjoy how you share your insightful side. You're very open and transparent with how you view yourself as a painter and it's appreciated. I'm glad you had such a wonderful experience and I hope there will be many more for you! Keep up the great work!
Long time viewer of your videos, they are always inspiring and informative, first time commenting. I just wanted to let you know you have a huge impact on the world, more than you will ever know, and regardless of those feelings of needing external validation keep being you. You're amazing, more than you will ever know. Thank you for sharing yourself, the good, the bad, the ugly, the journey and the knowledge with all of us. You make this world a better place by being you, and sharing that with us.
You have made it. You are that painter that people like me strive to be. Wrestling with ADHD is hard for me, but every video you make gets me so excited to go out and PAINT MORE MINIS. Hats off to you and your achievements in this artist space.
This video is amazing. So glad you got this amazing opportunity. Like many others have already said, you are to many of us what Roman is to you. I always look forward to your videos and learning new techniques from them. We need to always learn and grow and seize opportunities like these when they come along. You are no imposter. Build on what you have learned during your amazing truth and continue to inspire others by it! Thank you so much from many of us hobby painters
By the gods, the quality of the minis there was insane!
Honestly super happy for you. You do deserve it and I'm thankfull that you shared this memorable moment of your life with us.
Keep on keeping on!
Hey Scott,
Thanks for sharing your adventure. It's heartening to see your progress, decency, and humanity. Best wishes for you and yours!
Well, finally I made it. With a comment. I started several times and quit again. In fact there is no comment needed of me as you said to me yesterday, Scott. It is already wholesome. All of it. Still I want to tell you how happy this video made me. First of all it is impressive from the editing quality. Really tons to learn here from you. Second, it is amazing from the personal growth that started with this trip. I remember the thoughts we talked about on "what video you want to create" from this trip and I can say you nailed it 100%. Be present is the main message. Be present in your life, in your love, in your job, in your passion, in your moments. This is a hard task with todays world as everything is aimed and programmed to distract us from being present. I see a great message in this video and I feel honoured to played a part of it. A toast to passion, friendship and being present, Scott. Keep on happy painting! Roman
Thank you for being who you are! This is what I meant with your heart at the right spot ;)
Dude, I've been watching your videos for almost 5 years now I think, something like.. maybe it's 4.. It doesn't really matter. It's been a pretty cool experience to watch your channel grow and see the quality of your videos improve... and not just the quality of the video but the content itself.. you've branched out and make some really interesting videos that implore the mind to learn new things and gain a better understanding of what we do. I can only imagine what an incredible experience this must have been for you, the atmosphere, the amazing art (holy fucking shit those are amazing) the culture... I was stationed in England and going to Europe is definitely an experience. I got curious at the end of the video if anyone wanted to hear you bust out your "paint more minis" lol anyway... thanks for sharing this amazing experience.. I've learned a little more, mission accomplished! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I've been following you for some years now, since I started painting more or less, so it is amazing watching my models appear in one of your videos! Glad you like my work and Thanks for featuring my Red Moon at 13:09 and my DOOM tribute ❤ Love your content!
Hey man, just wanted to take a moment while I'm absorbing this video to relate on a couple things, that I think maybe will be nice to hear from a fan and someone who admires your art.
- I am also on the cusp of my 30s, just beginning to learn maturity and develop a more sensible worldview. I definitely think I understand the headspace.
- I agree that Roman is one of the best painters in the world! This is incredible for you, and you've worked INSANELY hard to earn it. I remember that time you uploaded a video everyday.
- Just so you know, you are to me what Roman is to you. You TAUGHT me how to paint, but more than that, you taught me to think like an artist. Break down shapes and colors and wet a 💦moist💦 wet pallet for those c r e a m y blends. Etcetera.
I have spent HOURS painting minis and watching your videos thinking, "Hm. Man Scott is such a cool guy. It would be sick to get some Raising Canes tendies and paint with him."
So yeah. I get where you're coming from. I just wanted you to know that YOU are like Roman to someone.
I genuinely hope you do some videos on what you learned. Chromatic gray?? I'd be STOKED to see some stuff.
Anyway, thanks Scott. Thanks for encouraging me tooOOOO PAAINT MORRE MINIS
This is one of the realest videos ive seen on youtube, brang a tear to my eye. Im so happy for you that you had such a beautiful experience and met a hero of yours and he lived up to the expectations. A true heart warmer. Much love ❤
0:54 PHIL AND TERRY OF HIVE SCUM PODCAST. THE #1 PODCAST FOR THE GRIMDARK COMMUNITY
Thank you very much for your work: you made me crying by how personal you made the video. What you tell is inspirational besides the miniatures. Thank you for sharing and keep on doing this please, even though I get that sometimes it is not difficult to do it your way, given how much of yourself you put in your videos.
We set our own limits. Always die trying. ❤
I'm not crying, you're crying
Been waiting this video since I saw your first update on this journey of yours. And well worth the wait.
Roman is a legend! First time I talked to him in 2008 where I interviewed him for a Warhammer (Online) fan'zine. Amazing to see, how you enjoyed your private coaching session.
Greetings from Augsburg, Germany! 😁
That was a great Video!
I didn't meet in Person Roman yet, but I remember in 2012, when Ben Komets (back by the day another 'Massive Voodoo'-Guy) came as a judge and a tutor to a painting competition in our small Games Workshop in Potsdam (Germany). My Queek Headtaker made it to 2nd rank of abaout 8 competition entries.
I was new to painting and of course not quite skillful then.
But it had a huge impact on my motivation to meet Ben and realise that he is a human being just like me and you.
So I have a glimpse of an idea how you might have felt about Romans generous invitation.
Thank you so much for sharing your impressions and thoughts.
My son (9yrs) - sartup-mini-painter himself - was also quite impressed (unless he didn't understand anything of your overvoice).
So long! Don't forget to paint more (or better) minis!
I have been following your channel for such a long time now, and I was super excited to know we share bdays 🎉. Anyway, i am 100% sure you are an idol to us as Mr Lappat is for you! (You are one of mine) I get that imposter syndrome.. I visited the UK, to meet up Twitch streamers in WHW.. and it was so much fun! Also recently at SMC! It feels like family now!
Keeping my eye on ya ;)! Thanks for this vid
DAMN. I felt this hard. Keep up your always amazing work and hobby. YOU do inspire and YOU do help others. I feel like an imposter pretty much 99.9% of the time. This video let me revisit my thoughts and take a breath. Thank you.
I first found you @miniac back in 2018 when i stumbled upon your eavy metal series. You were the first painter that I watched every video i could and the first person i subscribed to on Patreon. You inspired me to try to have fun and understand that i was doing was actually art and not just an expensive paint by numbers for a wargame that i didn't even play. I cannot explain how big this was for my development as an artist. I still struggle to say that even to this day. After dropping and picking up painting multiple time over the course of 3 or so years, I would come back to your videos every single time and it would kick off another round of painting. Now I paint more than any other hobby now. I actually play Warhammer 40k and have a 4000+ point fully painted and all be it boringly based army of a homebrew Salamander successor chapter. I follow more painters on instagram than any other subject, including food. All because of you my dude. You inspired it. I know suffering from imposter syndrome is never something you really get over but you aren't an imposter to me!!! keep up the awesome work! Oh and i stopped using alcohol in my airbrush like you recommended all those years ago and I haven't had that dry tip issue ever since
Brilliant video Scott. Keep enjoying the hobby, and accept the compliments! You're a legit painter/presenter/videographer.
Also that Pascale Blanche-inspired kroot at 14:28 is RAD!
Keep up the amazing work and content. I don't paint but I appreciate art and that's what you do.
You know you're doing something right when you have followers like me who really get sucked into your content, regardless of investment into the hobby itself.
Focus on the things that you have control over vs the things that are outside our control, like UA-cam algorithms.
Thanks, again for sharing this journey!
And shout out to your painting hero for noticing you and stretching an invitation into his world, to see what comes out of it together.
This is what life is all about: teamwork and interdependence.
Happy holidays ahead!
Wow Scott, Heidi and I Watched this video twice now and... WOW! Amazing Journey, we are so happy for you. Don't lie, you know you lost your shit watching the video Roman recorded for you, lol.
UUffff.. I really enjoyed this video. I just got transported there, ejoying all the adventure and the classes. For a third world country resident, like Panama, belieave me..., have the posibility to dream with your videos are, simply, beutifull. Thaks again
It’s great to see the waters mix from the US and EU. We are often split, but when it comes to our hobbies we are all the same. Great video!
Yay! There's the video I was hoping for ever since Roman told me you were about to visit. Fantastic guy! For me, his sessions are not necessarily about the stuff I learn (which I only use maybe 25% of in daily painting) but the inspiration afterwards for weeks.
Wow, very happy to see you had a great xp and got to taste a real Bavarian Butterbrezen. I last minute cancelled my trip to Monte cause my travel buddy‘s wife fell sick. (She’s well again) Seeing the level of the works presented I would have seriously shit my pants with my minis, which I‘m still proud of. Hope to make the journey in the coming years though.
Watching the colour theory stuff, always brings me back to the episodes of "3 colours and up" on UA-cam. They are still up and a great place to learn colour theory for minis. or just in general
This story is wild, dude, I wish YT had an option better than "like" 😅 I don't even get how awesome this is. I so wish I could get around to posting myself and my work outside of IG. And of course imagining anyone cares about my work. Kudos, dude! 🤘
I definitely get the imposter syndrome thing...in my group, I'm considered one of the best painters/ do the most kitbashes but I literally feel like a damn monkey gluing stuff to other stuff and loosely slapping paint on as an afterthought.
I don't want to put my IG on here because I don't want to be a shill...but let me know if it would be ok if you want to see my work.
As usual, great vidya, and happy to watch 🤘
Especially nice video, Scott! Educational, entertaining, inspiring and touching. I cant claim to know you like roman but agree in his assertion of you. Keep it up, you lovely internet person. Also, bonus likes from me for the Butterbrezel-shout out ;)
Dude, for real? I have learned so much from your painting tutorials....and everything else you share with your audience. It is wonderful that you got this opportunity!
This was such a great video, imho one of your best videos so far.Thanks for the insights into your mindspace, Scott. You gave us a good look into your amazing journey.
Since you mentioned during TUP that you liked Germany so much, when will you move here 😏?
Wow! So cool. I actually don't think I knew who he was but maybe I've seen his face before. I've really loved your videos since I started painting again during COVID lockdowns. By the looks of those magnificent pieces of art at Monty, I am definitely still using crayons and quite clearly have a looooooong way to go before getting even a quarter the way as good as you or them. But I'll keep trying - even when I get disheartened with all the paint that's dried out on my palette from lack of time to actually paint. Love your work mate.
I understand how you felt when experiencing Monte. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for continuing to create engaging content. Australia next!!!
Awesome video, Scott. It looks like you had a blast with Roman and at Monte, and thank you for the glimpse at the displays inside the convention. Incredible artworks.
Also thank you for including the Kimera ad, as I have now purchased my first bust. Time to take the dive from tabletop gaming to my first foray into busts and trying to be a bit better than "good from 6ft away"
Scott, I watch all your vids when they come out. Some might perform well in metrics(looking at warhammer stuff) while others perform well in message, like this one here. We all hit slumps, but you're so right in just taking the time to be present in what you do, and that includes miniature painting. We're always creating something beautiful in our hands when we pick up a brush and slather wet pigment all over the model. I know that in part thanks to people like you who are able to find your videos and inspiration from that, you play a huge role in their hobby journey. That said, I'd totally say what Roman is to you, a hobby hero, you fill that role for me dude. Keep on keeping on brother, and thank you so much for making this kind of content.
I didn't come here to feel feelings Q_Q In all truth, I aspire to eventually go to the event in Monte San Savino. I appreciate the knowledge the western painters have, but I feel like they're too stringent with their painting. Almost too cookie-cutter, if that makes sense. I came into mini painting with a love of art from my younger years (always drawing/painting, but never in depth concepts like colour theory), and I trip myself up every time I go to paint a mini because I feel like I have to adhere to these stringent ideas... But once I say "Fvck it, I'm just gonna paint," I do my best work not worrying about it. I appreciate these videos, and the same from Jon when he has these moments as well. I think there needs to be a push to get away from the formulaic way of thinking for painting minis.
Art painting is always going to be different than painting an army. I started my newbie journey on your page actually, and it's helped me grow and it's been amazing to watch you and your channel grow as well.
Amazing Video Scoot. Thank you for sharing such an important experience with all of us. I, like others, look up to you in the same way you look up to Roman. Keep being you and you definitely belong here.
Greetings from Ulm (close to Augsburg): You had a Swabian Butterbrezel... soft and thicker on one end and thin and crispy on the other end. Bavarian Brezeln are a bland sameness of equal thickness all around that is utterly uneatable without beer. 😂
You and ninjon, byron from artis opus, and zumitiko are my biggest influeneces by far right now. You slay the videography too. Cant wait to see your next video brotha have a good one.
Hey Scott, always enjoy your videos, and this one is no exception. It's awesome to have such a great opportunity to learn from Roman and see such great work at the miniature event. Since your a Midwest boy like me have you considered attending MMSI in Chicago? It's a great event with similar vibes to the one you attended. It's every year at the end of October. Anyway keep up the great work!
Glad you had a little spirit journey and all but honestly I completely tuned out once you started showing off those entries. The variety in styles and idea were so cool, so many sculpts that caught my eye and the paint jobs were just perfect across the board.
Loved this video, love your honesty Miniac. You have definitely inspired so many people through your channel, myself included. Great stuff
Mixing colors from Cyan Magenta and Yellow? With as much printing as I have done, how did I not know about that? Nice.
You've come a long way sense making budget props and a puppet costar. I've learned a lot from you over the years (and many others). I'm glad you got to have this experience and its awesome it sounds like it was more then what you were hoping for.
Sweet!!!!!! That's all I can say , congrats you do very much deserve it ......thanks
Hey Scott I have a challenge/experiment for you, you being a very talented miniature painter this should be easy. My challenge : pick up a classic kind of Airfix or Revell military model of either 1/72 or 1/48 scale and make something that instead of being a nice artistic interpretation of a thing to make it as photo realistic as humanly possible. It seems to me that many a hobbyists are under the notion that photo realism is unattainable yet the classic modelists have been doing it for decades as what drew me personally into Warhammer 40k for example was my humble classic kind of modeling hobby, and while everything is fine and dandy with being super artsy and solving everything in almost van gogh-ish surreal contrasts overlorded by the color wheel and non metallic metal techniques
No matter how many views this gets, this will be your best video purely based on the meaning behind it. That video from Roman at the end was the cherry on top.
I wateched this with my family during the Christmas break. I thought it captured exactly what our miniature painting hobby is...the mental struggles, the painting itself, and showcasing the godtier European artists. Hope you got a kick out fo knowing this brought my family together for a few minutes and helped explain what I spend my free time doing.
What a great video
Loved this one Scott !!! Mr Roman ….. what a lovely fella. Keep the content coming. Have a great Christmas.
beautiful stuff man, the entire video just oozes quality, so much so that i'd say you might be making things too hard on yourself, especially on a trip you could have gotten away with some on-the-scene vlog style commentary, would have been just as enjoyable for sure. And the stability of your close-up shots is really impressive. I thought you must be using a slider in the studio, but on the road it must all be gimbal work right? What's your secret, is it your steady painting hands keeping the camera that still. I struggle to get good stable close-ups even when i do 10 takes of a pre-built setup, you seem to just do them spontaneously on the spot :O
Always loved your content, its what got me painting again and helped me find some of my favourite channels like Trovarion and Ninjon, but I always find myself coming here just for how you present yourself, also the outro. Amazing video, keep on shredding man
I’ve been watching you for years and it’s awesome to see you and your business grow. And I’ve always loved the way you made painting accessable. Can’t paint a certain way. No problem. Keep it up.
Pulling tears today Scott. Being so close to age and having an odd hobby i'm so dedicated too, you really hit home with this one! keep rocking my dude.
Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing. I'd be interested in hearing some of your personal takeaways/insights on how to improve/go beyond in your own painting from Roman.
Your videos brought me back to the hobby after 20 years of not painting.
Your my model painting hero and inspire me regularly, your not an imposter.
Congratulations Scott. This video was so "true" (emotional? sincere? personal?) that it was a joy to watch. Bravo maestro :)
I'm not gonna lie it felt like some of your recent videos were hitting a lull there, and it did seem like you were painting in your comfort zone. There's nothing wrong with that at all! But it definitely started to seem like you had almost a "corporate" mentality, like you mentioned early in this video, like you were only painting for the UA-cam gods. Like you weren't creating for you anymore; painting or not.
This video is such an incredible shift that it sounds like you needed it, like you wanted this, that you did absolutely deserve this experience. This is a video I think we all needed as mini-painters; someone of stature--I mean that celebrity-wise, but you do seem like a really tall guy lol--hitting a bout of impostor syndrome literally across the table from someone like Roman, seeing a spark reignite not just here but through the social media stories as well, seeing a sense of inspiration come back almost as a tsunami.
This was an amazing video, and a reinvigorating one at that! Thank you.
Fantastic vid Scott. This and the TUP episode were great recaps and make me want to go to MSS (even though I'm a terrible painter heh). Who did the dakka dakka model?
Bro this video aside, your awsome, so awsome in fact that when I saw what loot studios was going to be releasing with it's sci fi bundle on the 15th of December you were the first person I thought of, if any one could pain those beasts absolutely perfect it would be Miniac. They're doing a kaiju Vs mech bundle Pacific Rim style, I'm not sure if that something you're into but if you need an idea for a video that's one I would love to see, I've even named dropped you on their facebook group to see if they will send you one😂
Thank you very much Scott for sharing your work, your person and your experience in general and from this trip with us. You are a lovely person giving me and us as a community so much love. I would love to meet you at this exhibition in monte san savino next year (never heard of this or other exhibitions like that). If you need a stay in Germany or a drive to get you to the exhibition next year just contact me and i will take care. Best regards Tom De Silva from TLM
Can't believe you were there! I went to Monte on sunday...didn't see you around. I Hope you Will come back again and meet you! Cheers
A friend of mine partecipated at Monte San Savino and won gold (she painted a batman figure)
When she sent us a photo taken with you we all lost our shit here at home! We all hope you had the best of time here in Italy and hope one day you'll visit us again! Much love!
Great video!
How do you like those Kimera brushes? I've been thinking about picking up a set, but haven't heard anything about them yet. Interested in your thoughts!
Impostor syndrome is a bitch. I had it at work for a long time. The trick I used to solve it for myself is - whenever I would discredit myself in my head based on some outcome (in my case it could be not spotting a bug in my code, in your case a video that is not doing well) then I would try to look at it from 3rd person perspective and ask myself - would I think that guy is an impostor based on that outcome? Answer was always no, I repeated it many times and at some point, I don't even know when, it disappeared. I am now fully confident with what I do :)
great video Scott, keep it up, you're an inspiration for many. I remind me the old old days where I had the chance of having Jeremy Bonamant painting some of my minis at my place, sharing time with Allan Carrasco or getting a personnal friendly coaching by Bruno Grelier. Painting miniis is not only a hobby, it is a open door on the world.
WOW, this video is a godsend! I have been thinking about starting my own painting channel. Both to make content and to hold myself to a higher standard whilst painting. What has been stopping me is Imposter syndrome. Scott you completely cleared all my thoughts, my first video is still a long way from release but it is in the works!
Hey Scott, you are putting the bar quite high for Roman. I was already super happy that I got one of the seats for his upcoming workshop. As that one approaches excitement rises, but with your video it goes through roof.
I am really looking forward to this and enjoyed your video, your thoughts and I glad you have found a great friend and had such a wonderful time. In the past unthought I need a workshop to improve techniques. While I still hope I will, I just go there now to have a great time and just bath in Roman‘s charisma and take a dip from his spirit.
