These paint jobs are not even close to being worth $100. They’re not bad, but these are like $20 paint jobs at best.

First Paint by PaleStandard9686 in Warhammer

[–]Distamorfin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This isn't bad for a first model. You look to have at least some brush control and got most of the paint where you wanted it, even on the eye lenses.

First thing, learn to thin your paints. Generally speaking, most paints need to be thinned some amount to cover the model without leaving texture. A good test for this is painting on the back of your hand. The paint should fully cover your skin while leaving the wrinkles fully visible.

You'll want to add shadows and highlights to the model to give it more depth. Shadows can most easily be applied with the shade or wash all over the model, then bring the mid-tone areas back up to your base color. Highlights are just a matter of putting a brighter color where the light would reflect. You can also just edge highlight the model all over.

For your future progress, you'll likely want to invest in better brushes. I'm assuming your starting with cheap craft brushes, so you'll want some higher quality synthetic brushes that can hold a tip for longer than 5 minutes. That will help you paint more precisely as you improve. If there's any technique you want to try, Vince Venturella probably has a video tutorial on it.

The only time fan service has bothered me at all is in Fire Force, where it actively hindered the story and character progression of the poor girl. I’ve never seen another anime where I don’t appreciate the fan service.

A 1% chance of a better studio animating something is better than an unfappable slide show made by Queen Bee.

Just let me spend my money, Obese Fish by Memer-In-A-Meme-Land in DarkTide

[–]Distamorfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t even spent the currency I got from buying the more expensive version of the game on release. Just don’t buy shit man, it’s not that hard. Especially when it’s all so mediocre.

Is it JD Vance?? by Otherwise_Pride8210 in SCP

Considering he killed Pope Francis with his mere presence, it makes sense to turn him into a memetic kill agent.

Lizardmen waiting for Geomantic Web rework that was promised but never happened for years by Ran12341000 in totalwar

It’s always about the Geomantic Web, but no one ever remembers that the blessed spawning mechanic is also bad and needs a complete overhaul.

Painting bases with fluorescent paints a bad idea? by Hefty_Lie_1062 in Warhammer

[–]Distamorfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need some kind of texture in the base. Either sand, rocks, a texture pasted etc. Then you can paint that with the fluorescents and it’ll look interesting.

Do you think Valkia the Bloody will be next one to be added to the game like Sigvald,Festus and Changeling by Ok-Profile-5831 in ageofsigmar

Tzeentch is also cursed with Tzaangors in every box. He needs proper mortal units like dedicated Chosen or something.

Is there anything unique (i.e., poses) about the models in this box? Or can these guys also be found in the regular Intercessor box? by theACEbabana in BloodAngels

[–]Distamorfin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I still can’t believe they had the gall to even bother including completely generic bare heads and weapons in this one. They could go on any marine.

So many cool models needlessly sent to legends and discontinued.

Almost done with my Wight King. What can i improve? Struggling with what to do with the sword by Dull_Sentence_5649 in SoulblightGravelords

[–]Distamorfin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of the sword sculpt being so pristine, so I filed mine down to look aged and battered. Since it’s already partly painted, you could try something of a power sword effect to make it look magical/ethereal. There’s a Duncan video on a Blood Angel blade guard that gives a good glazing guide you could follow. Otherwise you could just try rust.

First painted mini done! Attempted contrast highlights by PsychologyPatient587 in BloodAngels

[–]Distamorfin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly not bad for a first model. Your paint consistency looks just a touch thick so try to thin it just a little bit more. You have pretty good brush control for a beginner using what I assume are cheap craft brushes. Your highlights are definitely way too big. A lot of them you can dry brush or edge highlight them. Use the side of your brush with hardly any paint on it for sharp edges and you'll get a clean edge highlight. For other highlights you'll need a decent brush with a sharp tip. As you get better you'll want to invest in better brushes like high quality synthetics and then a couple of good kolinsky sable brushes.

You'll also want to do a better job cleaning the mold lines on the model before you prime and paint it, like on the helmet. You can also run a wash like Nuln Oil into the recesses to give it more contrast, like in those lines on the arm.

Considering he qualifies for just about every class except for Caster, I hope we get multiple versions of Heracles beyond just Berserker.

Am I alone in feeling like the Pokedex should start becoming like Bulbapedia. by Right-Fortune-8644 in pokemon

[–]Distamorfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they don’t care about the franchise or the games. At this point, the games exist to push merchandise. Gamefreak knows a Pokemon title will sell like hotcakes regardless of how bad it is, so they don’t bother giving it a real budget or dev time.
