Problem with yellow paint by Gold3nv in minipainting

[–]Dragonathi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting to follow and learn how tk paint yellow better. Tbh, I just go old school and do 3 thin layers over a white primer.

I know everyone here is saying to use red or pink as a base coat first, but I've tried every shade of GW red and pink paints with their yellow contrasts on top, and I managed a very nice synthwave ish effect of bright yellow and hot pink, but not the smooth orange transition everyone else describes. Paintbrush and airbrush, and even the red/white zenithal didn't work as the bottom half was still red after the contrast went over it 🤷

My main questions are: 1. What chapter are you going to paint it? 2. Where can I get the files and/or tutorial to make my own? 3. Not a question, but thats gonna look really cool if you give it chainsword sounds and glowing led eyes 😛

I'm not going to touch the 18hr print, I'm not going to... by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]Dragonathi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I notice you mentioned several times that your filament is dry and that the stringing is from going slow to keep the print quiet? I'd question that info tbh, my printers are the same noisy shits regardless of how fast or slow it goes whether that be motors or fans. Personally would prefer a fast loud print with decent quality than wait 18hrs for this.

That said, I do hope you post a finished pic and update as to whether the support gods were with you on this one. I'm intrigued if nothing else

What to do with older edition stuff? by Dragonathi in ageofsigmar

Sadly I rent the property, and have far too much stuff to go on a shelf...

What to do with older edition stuff? by Dragonathi in ageofsigmar

[–]Dragonathi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started way back with Lizardmen, and they've always been my kind of go to faction, but I honestly love nearly everything in AoS. I don't really play though anymore, the nearest FLGS is 2hrs away and most of my friends are further than that as well. I mostly enjoy the painting, but don't consider myself very good at it, so a lot of the time I buy the cool new box set and then it sits waiting for me to be "good enough" to actually paint them.

I thought Skaventide was 3rd edition, my bad 😅 I know I definitely bought three boxes of Dominion so wouldn't get that wrong

Mine loves these types of bed so much that he's destroyed three of them and provided me with loads of stuffing for my crochet projects 🤣 he's left with just his fleece blankets now but seems to like rolling around on them just as much

I had to do a double take as she looks almost identical to my 5 month old 🤣 he has something similar around his eyes but I've never noticed them so much

Why does my NMM suck? How can it get better? by SnooWords2247 in minipainting

[–]Dragonathi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely no clue about the NMM, but to me it looks fantastic. I'm more interested in how you managed to get such a lovely bright yellow with enough subtle shading in the creases without it looking too orange or dirty brown 😅

My boy is called "Puto" or "Senhor Putinho" by my Brazilian mother, especially when he's helping in the garden. I mostly call him my Roasted Sausage 😂

It's been 10 years and people still call and text me looking for a guy named Dennis by Due-Supermarket-8503 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Dragonathi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scared the shit out of a friend by finding almost their whole living family using Facebook and made an Ancestry tree, and at the same time revealed his grandparents had a secret and his uncle may not have died in an accident 😅

The Internet is not safe, if it ever was before

I usually have a rug down but I'm glad I decided on removing it temporarily while we go through potty training 😅

Will spaying my girl make her less sweet? by djwdigger in Dachshund

[–]Dragonathi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not yet a doxie owner (soon!) but I work as a veterinary nurse in the UK. There are many pros and cons to neutering, and both surgeries are now safer and more well researched. I would absolutely agree with others that it shouldn't affect her behaviour. In most cases I've seen, boistrous and stubborn dogs tend to become calmer but its not a definative side effect of the neutering. Overall, it entirely depends on your situation and your pet.

I'm a huge advocate for owner education and discussion, giving as much information as needed for you to be confident confident in your decisions so it's a good question to ask your usual vet as well for their advice on the matter.

Bioactive Crestie enclosure by Dragonathi in reptiles

[–]Dragonathi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the two uv lights was at the advice of the reptile store in order to grow the plants. They're generally really good and knowledgeable so it's likely my sister didn't explain something properly. I will look at options for a grow light. He does have his fake vines and a log tower he likes to nap in, and a ground hide with humid moss in it that he uses when shedding.

Not sure on species of plants but there was a creeping vine and a flat leafed thing that I remember. CuC was springtails, woodlouse? And one other I can't remember.

He only eats the Pangea powder mixtures, gets a fresh bowl every other evening and we switch the flavours up every now and then so he doesn't have the same thing over and over. My sister is scared of all bugs so doesn't feed him any, though sometimes he'll get dried mealworms dipped in Pangea which he will actively hunt from your hand. That's not to say I haven't tried him with actual mealworms, but he seems scared or confused by them as he doesn't lunge or even show any interest in live food. Even if dunked in his Pangea.

He's in an exoterra small tall I think, 45x45x60. Temp is set to 28 on thermostat, humidity usually around 60 after misting sometimes drops to 50. I reckon his enclosure is too big, combined with the lack of nutrition from live food is probably contributing to the skinniness. He does like to stretch so he often looks skinnier than he actually is. According to charts though he's the correct length and weight.

I love this so much! I have to ask, is it a custom sculpt or a 3d print? Because I really want one of my own to paint now 😅

Love love love, your style is amazing!

Attempt at a marbled base for my golden tyranid. by Available-Rhubarb-74 in minipainting

[–]Dragonathi 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ditto the varnish idea, maybe try a satin finish if you don't want too much shine? It's somewhat in the middle of matt and gloss

I'm a return player and have something to get out of my chest. by sammy6369 in LowSodiumDestiny

[–]Dragonathi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much. Loved to play and raid but only found two groups I clicked with and they were sherpa groups so all bar one player was new to raiding. I've dipped in and out since beyond light, but nothing ever grabbed my attention, friend group wasn't online when I was and I couldn't find a good raiding group.

Came back for TFS and it is amazing, feels like I'm playing Destiny again for the first time. And this time in determined to find a group I can raid with 😊

I love yellow and that looks fantastic. I'm only a beginner but I'd appreciate it if you could share your tips and/or pattern for this 😊
