Bit of essay but ... Really love the foreward!! Great bloody point! "Paint miniatures your way" wholeheartedly agree. The video is honest, raw and you showing what you do, love the unabashed approach and is a good reminder to myself to have fun with the hobby and not loose sight of that (which I do struggle with tbh and end up with tons of stuff I start and not finish or get jaded about painting) We are out own worst critics but seriously good video, you did what you set out to do at the start! Hope you do more in future.🍄👾
Thanks mate very much appreciated. Yeah I get what your saying, people do place an awful lot of pressure on themselves when painting miniatures. Especially newer painters. You and I come at it from a different direction in a lot of respects. I paint purely for the enjoyment of painting, the end result has to be good enough. It probably comes from most of my players don't paint, and that I have been painting on and off for 35+ years. You do commission work where the standard is way higher and that feeling of painting for someone else! To be honest I couldn't do that, I would second guess the simplest decision.
Thanks for the video, it was very informative and helpful. I must admit that my painting has been less than ordinary of late, and whilst 'Slapchop' does help get minis onto the tabletop quickly, it leaves me feeling unsatisfied when they're done. I like the way your finished miniatures look and it was really enjoyable to see the brush 'in-action' so to speak! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!
Thanks for the kind words, I was kind of dreading publishing this video as its out of my comfort zone. I know what you mean about feeling unsatisfied with a paint job. I think all painters can relate. Like you said I also get it when I have rushed the project and not stopped to enjoy the process. Its that doubled edged sword of getting it done, and enjoying getting it done. The balance can be hard to achieve and I think we all chase the balance. If I could offer any advice it would be take your time with a couple of minis you like the look of. They dont have to be special or expensive minis, just ones you like the pose of or something. Enjoy the process again for a couple of mins. While getting it done with the others. Merry Christmas and hope all is well.
This is a good palette cleanser of just good painting that pops and shows of the mini!!
Thankyou thats very kind of you to say. My painting is very much like me, SIMPLE!
