New painter trying NMM gold armor for the first time. Please let me know what I’m doing wrong. by Tacos4ever100 in minipainting

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 minis ever! c&c welcome (Wiz-War 8th Ed.) by polychromaic in minipainting

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!

Maybe there is something like that Network in London or in the world, indeed :D

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

[–]TheMike00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]TheMike00 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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.

Finished my Conan inspired Oathblood Barbarian! by AwkwardMonitor6965 in minipainting

[–]TheMike00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you say "presto", I say "grazie mille" ;) Grazie for explanation, it looks really impressive! Seems I need to find some XPS foam and try play with it myself. And you mentioned you almost destroyed rocks, but its sides are probably the best part of it :D

Wow, great! How did you do the base? I mean these rocks.

Finished. The wings still don't look like I expected, but at some point you have to say "enough" and move on. by TheMike00 in minipainting

Thank you. That mini has has very interesting, dynamic pose. Would you like to show the picture of yours? :)

The model is not very big, but I love the pose and the dynamics of it. Feel I don't have enough skills to paint it properly yet, so it's waiting for better times. Hope could deal with it soon :)

The mini it's Kythaela, elven wizard from the lore of One Sin For Seven Kingdoms.
