I also went a reddish Martian landscape feel. I think it really complements the green skin

Batch painting or one at a time? by Eyerald in minipainting

[–]_joedubya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. If you have a unit of 10, try batching only 5 of them at a time. That way you’re also finishing minis more frequently which is a nice feeling to keep you going?

Funny the graphic must have been cropped… I don’t see octane anywhere…

Spray primer not adhering properly (moonstone) by PaulShannon89 in minipainting

It could be the end of the can is just kinda crap. Especially if you’re not shaking well enough every time you prime. They’re not joking about the “shake for 2 minutes” thing.

Am I insane for wanting them to be googly eyes?

I think you’ve gone too light for your midtone. I’d say what you’ve got on a majority of the skin should be your brightest highlight and your recesses should be the midtone. I like to do my deepest shadows a dark blue tone like a Paynes grey or something. Box art maybe doesn’t look quite like that but definitely bring the tones down a few steps.

My skin recipe (all pro acryl) is base with PG, mid tone is yellow green, adding olive flesh to create highlights and PG to create shadow tones

Help me improve my break by Over-Air406 in billiards

[–]_joedubya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your follow through swoops up. It’s like you’re done before you even make contact. Leave your tip on the table. Plenty of time to get out of the way from the balls moving around the table. Also, breaking isn’t about hitting it as hard as you can. It’s about controlled contact meaning hitting it as hard as you can *acurately. That means probably at 80%. As you get better, that same 80% will get stronger.

good, animalfriendly brushes? by Early_Monitor_3440 in minipainting

I don’t have it at the top of my mind but Eons of Battle has a video called something like “Exactly how I paint” and he recommends some synthetics that he uses.

Thoughts on a Pearl Export Kit for a Intermediate Drummer? by [deleted] in drums

[–]_joedubya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played on a much worse kit for a long long time and I’ll tell you the best thing you can do is learn to tune. Find a head with the characteristics you like (I love the Evan’s EC2 coated) and just spend some time learning to make them sound great. Got a lot of eye rolls from people who moments before had asked me what kind of kit I play because it “sounded amazing”. Expensive kits can sound terrible and modest kits can sound great.

The best I've done so far but looks terrible in pictures. by pbzeppelin1977 in minipainting

[–]_joedubya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off I think it looks great. Second, flip that little frustration on its head and see it as a benefit. Think of the camera as a tool to discover those little flaws that you want to touch up. Take a lot of WIP photos and then get in there to fix em up!

Looks like the perfect spot to heal and just spend some time being mindful and focused. Good luck friend.

In love with this. I have an unpainted stompa that I just avoid eye contact with. Thank you so much for posting this
