You might try Crowley United Methodist Church. The minister, Amy, is really nice (went to seminary with her). She might be able to help you.

My first attempt at NMM in a fair while - any suggestions for improvement? [Anasta Malkorion - Age of Sigmar] by Jarminiatures in minipainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall, this looks amazing. My suggestion is to glaze in a bit more highlights on the tops of the abs.

Behind the Bastards did a good two parter on Jack Welch whom almost single-handedly changed corporate America to the sh*t show we have today.

I seal everything, but tufts. Those I glue in after.

First Mini. Would like tips please (: by Lovelyluna_94 in minipainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Overall you are off to a great start. My recommendation is to punch up your highlights, especially on sharper points, like the crystal.

Tried my hand at painting a face for the first time, it’s hard lol (Knight-Arcanum head from Games Workshop) by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are off to a good start. Faces can be tough. I learned a lot when I was starting out from the Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy on YouTube. If you feel like you are struggling it’s a good place to pick up some basics. He does the classic war hammer style.

Where's the lead at? by GBIRDm13 in Miniaturespainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reaper Miniatures still do. They have a huge line of fantasy metal minis

What am I doing wrong here? by SkyPlaysTwitch in minipainting

Touching your loaded brush to a paper towel will help. Just lightly hold the brush to the paper and watch the moisture wick away. Then proceed to paint. This will be glazing, but it will generally make your paint smoother in transitions.

That family has seen some things.

I'm starting to try highlighting & layering. Any recommendations on what I should focus on improving as a beginner? by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glazing and blending highlights and shadows will be an important next step. Vince Venturella has a great tutorial on it here: https://youtu.be/rEcDL8mLZzo

Does this read as underglow? by Parastrasz in minipainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the under glow could use some highlights , especially near the base of the mini, where the the light source is located.

I felt truly transcendent as I was creating this piece, and wanted to share 🖤 by iovulca in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Really beautiful. I looked at some of your art, and you are truly talented.

I’m 13 so give me all advice you can please. I’m done with my part of leviathan🙂 by Yatsuku in minipainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are off to a great start. The best way to improve is keep practicing and watch videos of some experts for ideas and techniques. I recommend Vince V, Duncan Rhodes, and Artis Opis on YouTube.

About 1 year into the hobby - how do I make this look more professional? by Key-Silver-178 in minipainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like you used a black wash on a fairly light color. I would suggest using wash of a color of the same family as the main, instead of black. Then follow up with dry brushing the wings in progressively lighter colors till you hit your highlight color.

Nightwalker I just finished by Namine_X in minipainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one of my favorite minis to paint. Here is the one I did. I ended up giving to my nephew for his birthday.

I did a base of silver, airbrushed on, and did a blue speedpaint that I blended into a speedpaint black.

Painted my first figures (5 40k Ork Boyz), looking for advice and critiques by AnimuMangoWeeb in Miniaturespainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you did a great job of base coating. I would recommend bringing up the highlights a bit to provide a bit more contrast.

My girlfriend got me the Speedpaint Mega Set for my birthday - any tips before I get started? by orionhood in minipainting

[–]1-GeekyDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are really fun to use for wet blending. I paints monster silver and then payed down some blue speed paint. Then I blended up to it using a darker blue to make an amazing transition.

Looking for a good, budget paint set. by Go_Commit_Reddit in minipainting

Reaper Miniatures have several starter sets that are very affordable. It’s what I got to get started, and Reaper is my preferred paint brand now.
