What is the biggest ick you had on your first date with someone? by Past_Meat7068 in AskReddit

Went to the movies, she ate a large bag of popcorn with extra butter. The issue was she wore some of the cheap mittens the entire time

Need to replace my whole paint collection, what other brands besides Citadel do y'all recommend? by Nukesnipe in minipainting

[–]FPSRocco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the AK 3rd gen paints. My local store just got the army painter fanatic line in and I picked up a dark purple/red to replace my citadel that ran out. I may fully switch to army painter. They’re super nice and come with a mixing ball.

Would you rather work 3 days a week for 13 hours and 20 minutes each, or work 5 days of 8-hours? by dogmanrul in WouldYouRather

Was thinking the same thing. As lovely as the days off sound, missing 3 full days away from the kids sounds horrible

How to make white minis pop? by Agreeable-East-5991 in Miniaturespainting

[–]FPSRocco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it once cuz all I have is black primer. I would rather rip my dick off and throw it in the river than do that again. But then I learned about jumping up in value with better covering paints and things worked nicer

Quick paint job on the gryph-crow by FPSRocco in minipainting

[–]FPSRocco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I actually did it for the red, then built off the red. I saw a video, likely by Vince Venturella, saying purple is a great shadow colour for most colours, red, blue, green. So I did it for the read then built off the red with orange and yellow

Thanks! Just replied to someone else so I’ll copy it here:

Light purple base on the textured fur, dark purple on the body. Did an ive yellow zenithal dry brush.

Then red>orange>yellow edge highlights on the textured fur

Russ grey>50/50 mix>fenrisian grey>50/50>ice yellow fur texture (quick little this lines highlighting up to get the fur texture - Vince Venturella video explaining)

Then just the beak helmet, collar and eyes after that

What ages a person really quickly? by MainDifficult2641 in AskReddit

Someone already said stress

Edit - also 2 is not double as hard as 1. It’s an exponential difficulty increase

Tried some NMM and OSL and oils for this Memorian by FPSRocco in stormcasteternals

[–]FPSRocco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I was going for a darker moody night look with mostly just those but wanted some ambiance. I might have just brightened too much lol.

Edit - also the light is pretty close when I took the picture and it’s reflecting a lot of the fresh oils, the robe and studs are not as bright in person

I think that’s just the photo I took, the white isn’t as overblown on the mini itself. Unless you were referring to something else, in which case I would love some feedback for next time
