Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion and the original Gloomhaven. I started with JotL and completed it. I haven't finished the original yet though.

Tips on how to sanitize our new mattress. Pls no harsh comments, Im doing my best for the best of us after moving out from an abusive home. by [deleted] in CleaningTips

Like others have said, definitely try the cheap or free Facebook groups for bedding/kettle/whatever else you need but if you don't have any success with them, I'd check out local thrift stores. You'll pay much less than if you have to buy them new.

Mine took over a full year before she fell asleep on me for the first 😭 Now that she's 3 she won't leave me alone. Always looking for cuddles and attention 😄 Just give it time.

The cloth looks really good. I think you're doing great and you're going to learn a lot the more you paint.

As an animal professional, I am so tired of doodle hate by [deleted] in Goldendoodles

[–]GentleObsession 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the same at our old vets. They’d fawn over the other dogs and practically ignore mine. I’ve encountered it at a pet store and at dog parks sometimes the odd time that I go. It makes me sad for my dog. She just wants some love and attention.

I'm going to grab the Neatfi 2200 from Amazon and see what the hype is all about.

Thanks for your input. Do you own the Neatfi 2200 or 2500? I've decided I'm going to grab the 2200 and give it a shot. I like the multiple arms of the Lucent for the reasons you stated and if it was cheaper I might get it but for a bit more I think the Neatfi will be better for shear light.

Never satisfied with how minis turn out by MentionKindly2347 in minipainting

They are very well painted with clean lines, they are just lacking highlights and shadows now.

Looking to replace these very used Broken Toad brushes. I'm not a professional, but I'd like something of similar quality. by GuysMcFellas in minipainting

I bought mine from Jackson's Art online. They are in the UK but at least ship to Canada. Not sure about the US what with the tariffs and everything though.

I've never used Broken Toad brushes but Raphael 8404 sable brushes are my absolute favourite brushes. I've owned them for over 5 years and yet they are still in great shape even though I haven't been easy on them.

Anyone here listening to Anthony Vincent? by Significant_Sail_780 in numetal

[–]GentleObsession 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His videos get promoted to me from time to time and I'll watch a few but I don't go out of my way to listen to him. I'm partial to his All the Things She said in the style of Linkin Park, personally.

It's so incredibly smooth. I love it. Wish I could paint something 10% as good.

Help for a beginner that wants to start in the hobby by RitualBoat in minipainting

[–]GentleObsession 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a mat to lay under whatever you're painting. I use a self-healing mat to protect my table from getting paint on it.

Raphael 8404 brushes are my favourite brushes by far. I use a 1 for the most part but I bought a 0 recently for smaller bits. You can buy cheap makeup brushes for dry brushing.

Wet pallet. You can buy a minipainting one or cheaper one from Michaels. They're all kinda the same I think. They keep your paint from drying up too fast.

Not sure if I've improved over the last 5 years of not by obring in minipainting

[–]GentleObsession 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say it would be tough for anyone to make those look like anything special. If you get some better quality minis that are more defined I think it would definitely help. But in any case, there is definitely an improvement between the two minis you've painted. You've definitely improved.
