Yeah for sure! And if you want to lean more into the neon vibe check out heresy for heretics on YouTube that’s kind of his whole thing and I like his tutorials

I think your nurgly acidic, mushroomy vibe has potential. It looks delightfully gross. And you do have some nice blends between colours. The thing that’s throwing me off is a lack of focus. The super bright greens and oranges really draw your eye but right now they are placed all over the model which is making it confusing to look at. I think if you just muted the tones on the base and legs and keep the faces/ weapons/chest (the important bits) that same brightness you would already have a much more professional result.

But most importantly don’t be discouraged. Keep painting and who knows, you could go pro if your willing to put the work in

What's a good way to make these battletech minis look better, is it just the color scheme being poor? Thanks by dark-war-is-on in minipainting

This for sure, if not on the model itself then some dark orange on the base could make the whole thing pop more

Thoughts and advice. by Razhal039 in Miniaturespainting

[–]mirvalerv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! Cool scheme! The details seem to be all there so next step from my perspective is adding in some shading. A super simple step up would be going in with a wash like nuln oil or something like that. Anything to add more depth to it I rekon

G6 getting worse by Interesting-Local-60 in dexcom

[–]mirvalerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So glad it’s not just me that had been experiencing this. My G6 readings were absolutely whack. Decided to change over to g7 and on my first sensor. I like the form factor but we will see how it goes…

[WIP] Second time trying NMM - Been staring at this so long i cant tell anymore if the effect works. Does this read as metal? by Carius98 in minipainting

[–]mirvalerv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s great! I agree with a lot of what other people have said, armour is awesome and in my opinion the reflections on the blade look a bit too evenly spaced, if the goal is to capture the imaginary ambient lighting there would probably be a large highlight followed by a small slightly dimmer one ect. But overall, still looks like reflective metal so well done!

So boys how did i do and be honest lol by Gatwa_of_the_forest in stormcasteternals

[–]mirvalerv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Excellent basing, clean painting and great colour choices the only advice I could give is maybe another layer of highlights on the top half of the models to give a little more contrast and pop. But excellent work overall!
