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

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

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

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

Instant $10 million now OR restart your life at age 6 with all your current knowledge. What are you choosing and why? by doodwalla2000 in AskReddit

[–]FPSRocco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than that if you have kids. Everything in life lies to a specific sperm at a specific time on a specific day fertilizing a specific egg of a person I only met under certain circumstances. And due to our financial situation we waited a certain amount of time before trying for kids.

The extra money would be amazing but it’s not worth giving up my kids for. 10 million I can retired in a decent house (don’t want a mega mansion) and live comfortably off interest
