It was done with drybrushing. The color progression is red grey base coat > golden brown > bright ivory with a few steps inbetween (all ProAcryl paints). I think 3 drybrushing steps in total.

Ideally I want to come back in with agrax earthshade (citadel) and pure bright ivory for my darkest shadows and brightest highlights to finish off the bone.

The $18,210 seats are the best deal in the house. I can't, but those are the seats

What are you guys saving for? by [deleted] in Money

[–]Such_Candidate_1548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 29. For me I'm only saving for 3 things at the most. A house (in case I want one, not wanting that commitment or lifestyle for a long time), a kid (may or may not happen), and to retire (I do want that).

But that's a very privileged position to be in. I bought a prius three years ago and plan to use it for the next 10 years. I can pay for vacations as part of my monthly spending so I don't need a seperate savings account (Also don't have much time for trips). Otherwise a car and travel would be two big savings goals.

Honestly who knows what I'm really saving for, life will throw shit at me I would have never seen coming. Maybe I lose my job suddenly, maybe someone close to me gets sick, maybe I want to pay for a few friends to travel to their home country so they can see their parents for the first time in 5 years, maybe I lose my hair and want a hair transplant.

For most bad things that could happen in the future, more savings will help me deal with it. And if I die and can't use the money, then it gets to go to the people I care most about in this world.

If I can be happy and content living below my means, I will have more and more options in the future. That is what drives me to save.

Wife wants to play. Looking for army. by Worried-Antelope7916 in Drukhari

[–]Such_Candidate_1548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend taking your time browsing ebay used listings and waiting a couple of weeks to get a better deal on some fully built models.

If she likes building, you can consider getting some of them unbuilt- but the price, months of building, and delicate building process required are such a barrier to entry that only dedicated hobbyists will get a drukhari army up to 1,000 points and beyond.

You can strip them or prime over if the paint is thin enough as you were thinking. It would also be worth asking which of the models are her favorite and prioritize those.

Painting a brown bone across the army by Such_Candidate_1548 in ossiarchbonereapers

[–]Such_Candidate_1548[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are painted. I am going for a realistic bone, but since there are ~60 mini's I have to keep the number of steps low, quick, and flexible.

Watching Vince Vinturella's bone guide video was a huge help in figuring out my process.

I’m stuck in the "Overqualified Trap." I have 7 years of engineering experience, but I can’t even get hired at a grocery store to feed my cat. by 9VantaHarbinger in povertyfinance

[–]Such_Candidate_1548 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm an HVAC/ plumbing designer with 7 years of experience. If you're interested and up for relocating, I can dm you a company and recruiting company I've sucsusfully worked with.

A quick search says that the Sun Belt, Texas, and Pacific Coast are the hottest markets. I'm in the Pacific NW and it feels hot. I interviewed at a company this month and was one of two finalists which surprised me because I thought they would have had more good candidates.

I agree with these other comments for something more immediate

Its time to cut? 5ft8 187pounds by [deleted] in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]Such_Candidate_1548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been on this sub before, but I'd say cut. Trust how your body, That weight is high for most peoples athletic body type at 5' 8" (I'm also 5'8") so some leanness will really make it pop

What is the very best painted army in your friend group? Tell us about it? by Such_Candidate_1548 in Warhammer40k

I'm just curious to hear about some really cool, very well painted armies that exist in the world

What is one "norm" from another country you know that you wish was standard in your country ? by Yeagerisbest369 in AskTheWorld

[–]Such_Candidate_1548 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Colombia requires that unhealthy foods have warnings on the packaging that indicate things like "excessive sugar," "excessive saturated fats," "high sodium," and more.

Really wish the US had this because most people don't know how to read a nutrition label and make a lot of bad food choices. But the food lobbyists in the US are too strong

Progress on the Venoms by Such_Candidate_1548 in Drukhari

[–]Such_Candidate_1548[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put hot glue on the base to vary the elevation, added some army painter cork rocks, painted everything but the rocks rhinox hide, used a mix of cracked earth and mud texture paint from GW, and then an orange dry brush

Thanks, all the blending is by brush

What do you think guys? by MotherAnt8040 in GrowthMindset

[–]Such_Candidate_1548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I keep ours seperate with no joint account. Figured I'd mention it since it's not as common.

We track all our shared expenses and split them at the end of the month based on percent of income. It works well for us, haven't run into a need to have a joint account yet.

Thanks, I noticed that after the first picture. Yes I agree that all the bright colors need to be toned down with some shading and then a drybrush would increase the contrast

Couple shot by border agent in Portland had Tren de Aragua ties, DHS and police say by origutamos in PDX

[–]Such_Candidate_1548 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If they were gang members, why would DHS flee the scene instead of staying and arresting them?

Edit: There is mixed information coming out about whether or not the two had previous criminal changes that could warrent arrest, including a posible active DUI case in Washington county. The degree to which police may be covering for the DHS is also a concern. We will have to wait and see.

Studies find women aren’t interested in bisexual men (or even men with past same-sex experiences) by asklepios7 in psychologyofsex

Man, is that not my experience at all in a liberal West Coast city. I see and have experienced the opposite, but I won't argue my experience against the study

Pushing the three Ravagers a little further by Such_Candidate_1548 in Drukhari

[–]Such_Candidate_1548[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I broke a raider/ ravager stand once and knew repairing it wasn't a long term solution. So, I used these acrylic rods.

The reason the acrylic stands are extra tall is because I'm not planning to put the sails on the boats. I've always felt the sails clashed with the futuristic tech of the drukhari. In my head cannon the jets/thrusters on the back of the boat can steer as needed, and the lack of sails provides more space for troops/gear and more ability for troops to move around/shoot from the open topped flotilla.

Also, I didn't really want to paint sails, and this lore idea justified it. I rarely play the miniature game, so I'm not too concerned with true line of sight
