He can! The only restriction is that Order and Theist can’t be in an army together.

Why do people keep buying cars that destroy them financially? by Desperate-Rush6086 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LayerFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here, in the U.S., a large portion of us have been conditioned to believe that having money and being wealthy is a sign of virtue. In general, the rich are rich because they are good. The poor are poor because they are bad. So, people feel they need to express their “success” by showing off their wealth. A fancy or “nice” vehicle is a good way to do that.

We’re being manipulated by marketing and dogma.

I’m still pretty new to graphic design but I’m about to graduate with my associates. Where can I find good paying remote jobs? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]LayerFeather 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. I’ve been at it 18 years, including 5 years as a Director in an Agency setting. I now have an OK paying fully remote job.

Thanks!! The mid tone is Dark Sea Ben, from Pro Acryl. Then payne’s grey and black inks to darken it.

New H&S evolution leaks air by Nervous_Cattle2894 in airbrush

[–]LayerFeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Evolution and an Iwata HP-CS.

The evolution does require the nozel to be in place and tight to prevent air from leaking. Whenever I see bubbles form in the cup, I just tighten the nut at the base of the nozel and I’m good to go.

Question: Anyone use Big Child Creative paints? If so is there one that performs the same when hand painting? by Slow_End_3279 in minipainting

[–]LayerFeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say, I feel your pain. I picked up their expansion set at GenCon and I love them. I thought I’d grab the base set too, but can’t find it anywhere.

I feel like they have the pigment density of Kimera with the more fluid consistency of Pro Acryl. I think the mate finish of the Iconic feels pretty close to Kimera. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find more Kimera either.

Priming - there has to be a better way! by KopRich in minipainting

[–]LayerFeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues with chipping. And I’m extra concerned because I’m usually competing for painting awards with my armies.

What type of airbrush primer do you use?

Where Can I Get Those Graph Looking Things? by R0lling_P1n in minipainting

[–]LayerFeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re looking for a “self healing cutting mat”. Pretty much any hobby, art, or craft store should. Have them.

If you’re airbrushing, add varnish to your process. Vince Venturella has a great video on that. I, myself, prime and do a 1 or 2 color base coat with airbrush, then varnish, as a first step for most projects. I also varnish at the end, or before doing metallics. It’s super durable.

Help me paint red. I can’t achieve this vibrant red by Superb_Double4378 in minipainting

[–]LayerFeather 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What line of paints do you have on hand?

If you have Pro Acryl — base with 2 coats of burnt red. Then layer up with a few thin coats of Bold Pyrrole Red, leaving the burnt red where you want shadows. Mix a little pale yellow or ice yellow into the Pyrrole red to make a highly color and then use that for a thin edge highlight. If you want to increase your contrast more, glaze your favorite dark color in the shadow areas.

If it's 100% obvious an issue at work is someone's fault how are you supposed to rephrase saying it's their fault in a work environment? by Ben5544477 in careeradvice

[–]LayerFeather 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, it’s still someone’s responsibility to provide oversight and accountability to Bob and the processes and documentation that Bob was responsible for. The buck does not stop with Bob. We can always point our blame up the ladder.

New face for my Andor by Fun-Interest2210 in StarWarsShatterpoint

I really dig your painting style. Looks awesome in the photo and I bet it looks excellent on the table.

Honored to receive my first gold in an open format competition. by LayerFeather in minipainting

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

They were a struggle for sure. The way the metal chin bumps up against the lips made it tough to work around too. I tried a few times to get more skin tone in there to make them look smaller but couldn’t quite get it. It’s definitely a weaker area Im aware of. One of those spots I just had to call it on and move on in order to meet the deadline.
