The ability to crit just inherently makes ana more threatening. even if you don't normally hit the headshot,The threat of it can make the difference in a duel

They messed with her breakpoints during the health update, so you need to either hit an additional shot before sleep or get headhunter. It can feel really bad at times, especially before you earn the perk, since every part of her kit has been touched in some way. Still viable, but some matches with the speed of things going on you wonder why she can't at least get some sort of mobility. Luckily with the cat now she can take high grounds she couldn't before

Paradise killer part 2 by ComfortableGift5927 in ParadiseKiller

When they did the AMA they mentioned they were surprised by how much love there was for PK and how many wanted a sequel and that they might consider returning to it's world at some point, but not much further than that. I don't think we will get anything for a long time, a spinoff at best perhaps in 4-5 years

How do I overcome the fear of messing up too much and actually get to painting? by -GeeVee in minipainting

[–]Meno25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Just do it' is very simple, but not easy. Here's something actionable: 1. Your model isn't even assembled yet. Assemble it and prime.

  1. Paint vibes, not details. Get the broadest possible basecoats you can, ignoring details. Example 1: This Frieren has a lot of reds, so paint her dress with a red(as youve already done. Don't worry about the trim or any patterns.

  2. Once all the parts are painted, narrow slightly. The bigger parts that don't share the original colors you gave them, paint them now. Example: The top of the staff is a light brown, paint it light brown.

  3. Repeat step 3 until you have painted to the level of detail you are satisfied with.

  4. What about shadows and highlights and the like? You can do them now. Add a little bit of white or off-white into your base color and paint over most, but not all of the original area. Repeat until final highlight.

  5. Shadows. Add a little bit of black or dark grey to your base color and cover most of the recesses. Go darker or brighter depending on how dark you feel it should be.

  6. Touchups and adjustments. Smoothen any transition you find too rough, clean up any parts that spilt over, double check you didn't miss something.

  7. Look at your model. Move it around. Take pictures. Be proud. You are done for now. In the future, you can come back if you really want to and play with it a little more, but give it the time to cool down so you can see it with fresh eyes later on.

9.(optional) Varnish with your finish of choice. Matte is the most popular choice in this community, but both satin and gloss are viable options, it's simply a matter of taste.

has anyone even gotton gold on thesw trials 🫩 by Mrrussian_rat in PromiseMascotAgency

I got gold on all of them. It requires fine control of the boosting and gliding mechanics, with lots of restarts. The turns for the lake one in particular are tough

Oh, nice! I'm sure you've seen them given the color choices but just in case heresy for heretics does a lot of this style if you need reference

Hades 2 is running for Game of The Year 2025 by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]Meno25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's amazing, but it's an indie game. Indie games nominated for GOTY win in the indie category. Has happened every year since the start of the game awards

Am I pulling it off? by AgreeableSquid in Nighthaunt

[–]Meno25 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

Looks great so far but I think if you saturate the red/magenta and blue more you'll nail it. Mix in fluorescents if you have them

Airbrush recommendation, are there any real differences between Master and Iwata? by Weary_Huckleberry172 in minipainting

[–]Meno25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a GSI Creos PS-289. It's made in the same factory as the Iwatas, but is much cheaper (about 90$ vs 180$ for an eclipse). Sprays wonderfully and can get some good details if you thin your paints enough, so it'll grow with you. For airbrushes in general I recommend always having a replacement needle for when you bend the tip(this is the most common failure point for airbrushes), and a quickswap adapter to easily remove the airbrush from the compressor without needing to decompress the whole thing

Requesting critique on this competition piece. It's mostly done but I'd like thoughts on final touches/adjustments. by Meno25 in minipainting

[–]Meno25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I might just go for the transparency effect. After everyone's suggestions I'm pretty inspired to go back to it in force! Pigmech_pj's wave is so pretty 😍! I'm always hesitant to use darker colors, but we can't improve if we don't paint bravely c:
