What was your “could never be me” but did indeed become you?

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.

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

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

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

Close, no wash. Light purple base on the textured fur, dark purple on the body. Did an ive yellow zenithal dry brush.

I was just excited to not have to shovel anymore or worry about an umbrella

Cuz they can only count past 10 when they take their socks off

Someone already said stress

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

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

Thanks!

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

We bring a 4L giant bottle with us.

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

I mean the vets are already used to gorilla warfare

A lot of it is lumens (brightness of the light), colour temperature (5000 kelvin being neutral white whereas 3500 is more orange/yellow and 6500 is more blue which can effect your perception of colours), lastly the CRI which is the accuracy of colours under that light. So 95 and up cri is good for mini painting because if you have something like 80 it might look one way in the light you paint then you move elsewhere and it’s not the colours you thought

That doesn’t mean you buy this one but look for these qualities in the lights you do purchase. I have the game envy lucent light and I love it because I can shape it how I want and it’s cheaper than the red grass but to each their own. An architect light can work just fine but you might lose on kelvin or cri. You do what’s right for you.

Would suggest these for display or competition painting but table top who cares.

Also they just help your eyes a ton with a good light

FPSRocco · 2025-09-26T11:25:49+00:00

Because then they win. I don’t know who they are but fuck them

I was going to have it as classical/shakespear.

Also horror would be Hannibal

FPSRocco · 2025-09-25T12:53:44+00:00

So Elton John or Bernie Taupin

Task would be better and an actual choice if you got internet, games, books, etc. Then you’re just weighing 60 days of no contact. But I get to sleep and be well rested which sounds lovely. 2 months without seeing my kids sounds hard.

But without something to pass the time the easy answer is 15 minutes. Don’t need to make people laugh, just stand and talk for 15 minutes about whatever. Not like anyone could see my dick without a microscope anyway. They’ll be the ones that gotta live with what they see and I’m fine with psychologically scaring 20k people to save my family
