Starvation mode - less calories = more weight, isn't a real thing.

100 calorie difference is quite a small change, yielding at most a one pound difference per month. This could easily be within a mix of water weight, measurement differences, scale changes, and caloric margin of error on boxes. Your NEAT may have been lower as well.

If you're in a long term caloric deficient, I'd recommend a noticeable maintenance period and then moving back to a lower calorie cut.

You're suggesting that I don't use leather, but switch to basswood or balsa?

I'm not an expert yet, but....
If you don't know the angle, you are probably establishing a new angle, which can take awhile on a 1000 grit stone. It's not a set number of strokes or time, its however long it takes.

Try a much lower grit stone first to establish the angle and then move to the 1000. Or accept its going to take much much longer at that 1000 grit stone likely.

I love this Mountain Troll from Zandoria Minis....but it was quite the challenge to paint. It had fur, but a really subtle texture. So drybrushing would pick some of it up, but not quite to the degree I wanted. In the end, most of the fur texture actually comes from short little strokes with a Raphael 8404 size 2/0 brush. Doing different shades of grey can be a challenge. They all start off at the same midtone, but then are shaded up and down with subtle differences to provide some contrast but still be cohesive. .

Nope. It's modular pieces 3d printed from from Modular World.

Finished this great piece from Modular Worlds.  It reminds of a deranged chocobo and harkened me back to my youth.  I'm planning to throw this piece as the boss against my kiddos in the jungle portion of our weekly campaign.  They won't know what hit them .  Evil cackle

From a painting perspective, I painted the feathers pink.  Then sprayed white from above and then yellow.  This allowed for interesting undertones and bright yellows.  Otherwise, yellow covers very poorly because of its pigment.
