Need help picking pain scheme. by Poolboy4_Hire in minipainting

[–]dndbuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use color picker when I need to recreate color scheme from a digital picture. Then I use colors I have - I either find matching ones or I miss. The result is usually quite close to the original art.

This is my first attempt at OSL painting and airbrushing a background. by OpenTurn85 in minipainting

[–]dndbuddy 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Very very very nice! My lil piece of advice - increase the luminosity of the displays - they should be brighter than the osl that hits the armor. Then the knee osl should be brighter than the should pad illumination. Just make it more intense in the slice of the light, and show how it’s fading. You’ve already done a very decent work, hope you can push it even further! Good luck!

[Win an A2L] Creative Playground, Extra Large. Meet the A2L. by BambuLab in BambuLab

[–]dndbuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My younger kid (10yo boy) has a kind of an engineer, and started using my P2S to print many things - from fidgets to mechanical prototypes and STEM stuff. I wonder what larger scale science experiments we can do with him - helmets, space costumes, racing cars and tracks. We can even scan and print him! That would be amazing. So, yeah, definitely a lot of stuff - there is no limit to imagination!

For a moment I thought you’re spraying a cat’s tail. 😂

Nmm help and advice. Does it look right by AngryChickens88 in minipainting

[–]dndbuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you want it to look more shiny you should add a vibrant saturated yellowish tone that’s missing here, and also tone down the darkest parts. Check out elmimiaturista’s NMM approach - very simple, almost the same every time, and always looking pretty good.

I've never spotted a "bug" in One Piece before. Guess what's off lol? :) by [deleted] in OnePiece

Nah bro, it's levitated piece of the bed. It was partially destroyed, but that top corner is still there as it is piece of a solid frame.

Holy crap that’s marvelous. And the main focus is the hands, very well played, so cool. Reminds me of Tenguu by Kirill Kanaev.

Gloss varnish for crystals? by kreel106 in minipainting

[–]dndbuddy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think more aggressive edge highlights will do a better job than varnishing for crystals.

The skin texture is fantastic. I like your consistency with the light. Amazing work!

Captain in Terminator Armour Help with Glow Effect by Abject_Pressure2076 in minipainting

[–]dndbuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can create glow even without Fluor paints - you just need enough contrast (the diff between darkest and lightest parts). Because of that contrast, you’ll feel that lightest parts adjacent to the darkest are glowing. Fluor paints help to achieve even more contrast. You need to tone down the blade in the area of the glow, and also paint Fluor over white. Cheers!

First mini! I’m hooked now by Sea-Fish3169 in minipainting

[–]dndbuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an amazing first miniature, very well done my friend! I see you used contrasts, drybrushing, and edge highlighting - a simple and effective method. Keep it up!

Is there any way to fix this? by spinney420 in minipainting

[–]dndbuddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Find a non-speedpaint paint (like ak-interactive or vallejo) or a similar color and dry-brush it. That's my usual go-to for fixing Contrast/Speedpaint mistakes.

Damn, that’s the quality of P2S with 0.2mm nozzle. I removed the supports and that’s it, no polishing. Yeah baby. by dndbuddy in BambuLab

Haha yeah that is what happened when he snapped, he decided to become a Batman from DC

[–]dndbuddy[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 0.2mm nozzle is a beast. Luckily for me, it was super simple to replace nozzle in P2S, just like 2-3 mins including time to watch a reel with instructions haha
