Relaxing Saturday

#miniaturepainting #warhammer40k

Getting back to the things you love is like riding a bike. You’re not quite as good as you remember, and everyone is a car is trying to kill you, and you’re deeply afraid that… actually this metaphor may not apply at all.

Gotta make it official 😂

Had a little photoshoot with my cute little minis included in my #slaythespire board game!

Can’t wait to use them. They just mark our places but, life is better with art!

Sometimes the thing that’s getting in the way of you doing what you love is yourself. Forced myself to paint a little today, and I’m happy with my results.

These little slay the spire minis are just way too cute.

Absolutely love this model! A little bit of sunburn and some mini progress.

Never forget - if you’re trying your hand at painting, you’re golden demon quality baybe! 💕

Okami is one of those games that keeps tricking you to be invested, until you’ve reached the end and you’re a puddle of tears. That narrative is unreal, and none of my local friends have played it 😂

It’s ridiculous, but the end of speed racer gets me emotional. As the track around speed devolves into light and colour and we get to see his world and we know his victory is near - gah - just does something to my feelings. What a great choice for a new years movie. 🍿

The colour scheme is sick - one you start to fill in smaller details it’ll stitch it together. It’s just in that phase where you sometimes have to put it down and let it rest for a day so you can see it with fresh eyes

My wife grabbed me the mini from Etsy along with some others for Christmas. I saw far to many hands and was instantly sold 😂

My poor D&D players have no idea what they’re in for 😂
Sometimes I wish someone would take over the DM chair, but a lot of times I enjoy slamming a mini on the table and watch everyone lose their shit.

I’m using #TutorialTuesday to regularly remind everyone of the many free LED miniature tutorials I have on my website. 😊 This week I’m highlighting my LED Plasma Weapon tutorial.

I should probably start learning how the hell to play warhammer 😂

I find that halfway through painting you always have a moment of “what the hell am I looking at”. Pushing through that wall takes time, and being uncomfortable is part of art’s charm.

Should have done the sub-assembly on these guys 😵‍💫 so many nooks and crannies 😂 oh well - slow and steady paints the model!

I’m a heathen. Painting on the couch, watching tv, no drop cloth, low light. I’m just a rebel. I’m just built different.

some sketchy sheep in valley at dusk they’re all looking at you. text over says “woah bro did you just judge yourself for fumbling as you learn and try something new? damn dude give yourself some grace “

But also, the wet palette makes mixing low/medium/ high tones for contrasts almost effortless and the paint stays ready for ages, letting me jump back to areas I inevitably get paint on a section I’ve already done 😂 honestly I thought it was BS till I got one! (2/2)

Absolutely! I only do one mini at a time too 😂! First, there’s a bit of an indescribable control I get from the wet palette. I can control the pigment level and the flow with WAY less of the a fight which makes the experience much calmer. (1/2)

My mini painting from 4 years ago to now. One of the best tips I can give new mini-painters is that a wet palette makes an enormous difference. It’s free skill 😂!

Atlas judges me harshly.

Everyone needs a supervisor to make sure their work is top notch 😂

Thanks friend! It was really rewarding seeing what a difference the edge highlighting did for this model!

The freehand “deth” 😂 well done

Oooooo-eeee that paint job hits juuust right!

Pioneers are so unreasonably cool 🥶
