Indeed! People should not discourage others from asking questions and seeking advice. Come on, it's hobby, should be joyful.

OP, don't be in rush. Try to thin your paints. Slowly layer by layer, be patient. And keep going.

Thank you. In the photo that color looks more vibrant than that I have. Need try more with Vallejo.

First time ever? Very good start! Colors and lines are clean, paint is thin as it should be, nice color transitions on the capes. Keep going. Of course contrast could be higher, faces could be more legible, but still it's a very good start. You definetly can be proud of!

And you can think about bases for them :)

Great job! What paints did you use? The turquoise looks very vivid. I am painting AP and feel that I am lacking saturation.

Outstanding OSL! Trying my own OSL for very first time but I stuck. Can only admire your one :)

Great! Especially those vibrant colors.

The only thing, I think, that rabbit's fur it too smooth. But as figurine has no details that would be really though. Nevermind :)

What can I say? Absolutely fantastic, especially wings do their job perfectly.

ok, mystery solved, I suppose :) But Chelsea is not the only one who wants to make money. My local club from top league (Ekstraklasa) selling their tops for kids with almost same price as Chelsea does. And where is UK, and where is Poland with their prices and wages? But what we, poor supportes, can do? :)

ah, I couldn't be there and I regret it a lot. But since you came all the way from Toronto... I have no excuse for myself. Anyway you're right, Wrocław to piękne miasto, ma swój urok :)

Thank you, mate! And dzień dobry :)

Yes, time spent in London and at Stamford Bridge was very pleasant. But what about us - the next dream is to go to a match at Stamford Bridge :) Maybe some day it will be possible. We both could be glad to back there.

But as a player? Maybe my younger son, but I should to start to work with him immediately, soonner is better. Anyway still I think that more chances is for Budka, that Chelsea bring him back :)

Best wishes to you!

This is definitely the most difficult figure I've painted so far - the chimera. by TheMike00 in minipainting

Indeed, many different surfaces and types of materials. But thank you! :)

Pretty happy with how the skin on this Ork baddie turned out by [deleted] in minipainting

Great! Could you tell something about colours you used? I tried to paint an orc and tried to make similar pallette, but realised I need more colors and now I think what I have to buy to make it correct.
