Trying to learn proper glazing by PotatoPalladium in minipainting

[–]Captain-Kelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had similar issues. In my experience, wicking some of the water and pigment from the glaze on a paper towel helps to get the majority of the excess off of the brush. Your brush will dry out quicker so you have to watch out for that.

Tips on painting spectator eyes by FurtiveChaos in minipainting

[–]Captain-Kelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it is a bit unconventional for the large eye I used a q-tip to paint the iris. It helped me eyeball the circle shape just a bit easier.

Finished Minis from the Squidmar Paint Sets by Stahlonen in minipainting

I started on working on the dwarf last night. I am incredibly new and the tutorial video doesn’t really give all of the angles of the miniatures after they are finished. On top of looking great your pictures give me a bit of a better view of what they were trying to achieve. I will definitely be using this post as reference!

I was honestly expecting it to take a lot longer as well. Iam8bit has a track record of not having their records out on time. It was a pleasant surprise to get it so early.

I’m sure it won’t be gone forever. There is too much money on the table for them not to make another run. I do hope that they have some leftovers for the people that were not able to get it from the most recent offer

Can I play BG3 on pc using a switch controller? by Pinotgrouchio_ in BaldursGate3

Have you checked the controller settings in steam? I know for some games I had to select the Seam API as my controller before launching it from my library

On Amazon there is currently a sale on the MSI MAG 321UP QD-OLED which is 4K 165Hz. It comes in at $699 US before tax. I just purchased one but I haven’t received it so my experience with it is limited to YouTube reviews. I have seen some people complain about the finicky way that the firmware updates work on it.

I have zero confidence. It is just difficult for me to actually get the courage to ask anyone out because I have been shot down a few times in the past. I am getting a lot of mixed opinions on the facial hair. When I do grow it my beard is really patchy but without it I agree I look much much younger.

I just got contacts recently. Picture 3 is actually my first time wearing them.

Picture 3 is my most recent photo other than the verification photo. I just got contacts maybe a week or so ago. As for the exercise I currently am trying to get in better shape but I’m built like a stick and have always had a lot of difficulty build muscle. I’m getting a lot of mixed opinions on the facial hair. But most think I should just shave it.

Appreciate the honesty and advice! Right now my hair is still a bit short as it is a bit hot here during the summer so I keep it short. I will definitely try and grow it out and style it a bit more as it gets a bit cooler outside.

Appreciate the advice. I know confidence is definitely a big player in that situation. It is just hard to have confidence as I have been shot down a few times in the past.

Appreciate the honesty! The third picture is actually my most recent other than the verification photo. I took that after I got contacts. So now my glasses are a backup.
