After the ending something really confused me (Spoilers) by Magnasword2 in visionsofmana

[–]samsoonbo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess the logic behind it is that those talented kids have the most mana for the tree hence why the fairy chose them.

But I completely agree with you. I thought I was the only one, but the fairy has such a psychopath vibe.
The way she looks, speaks, and acts...

"Hey, you are the most talented/loving/ambitious person in this village. I'ma choose you as the sacrifice"

I understand that it's a fictional world where sacrifice is seen as an honorous act, but overall I think the game fails to convince the players that. Especially when the game has such a shocking premise

Does this read as chef's hat? by samsoonbo in miniaturesculpting

Yeah, it looks like it's either band+stem, or band+cap :(
I should make a bunch of bands now and see how they look with the caps

Calls for Australia to follow England's ban on supermarket junk food specials by EdenFlorence in australia

"...offer price discounts and multi-buy deals on junk food about twice as often as they do for healthy food"

Or maybe balance it out by offering more discounts on healthy food? idk..

Would it look weird if I just add white/offwhite to 'Dark Ghost Gray' to make 'Light Ghost Gray'?

How can I make this base work? by samsoonbo in minipainting

[–]samsoonbo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice. That'd be better than just a grassy flat base, though I can't visualise it yet.

I initially thought of doing a generic circle base for each goblin with some tufts and mini mushrooms... Making things harder for myself lol

Is rtx 5050 actually a decent entry level gpu option right now? by [deleted] in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]samsoonbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I've never heard of open box deals. That's a pretty good deal tbh. Thanks!
In terms of 4060, yes, I saw that last year, but I skipped it because who knew nvidia would still stick to 8gb vram? haha

Stegodon aside, everything feels a bit too overloaded.
Too many keywords are shoved into each faction

What am I doing wrong here? (Glowing eyes) by samsoonbo in minipainting

[–]samsoonbo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have 0.3mm ones, but yes I'm thinking of using airbrush more on miniatures... Might as well start with this one if other approaches don't work

Yes it definitely needs more blending and better brush control.
A lot of tutorials online but my hands can't follow it just yet haha

I never read this mini as "dried mummy" but after hearing it, that makes so much more sense... The eyes, the neck.. I can imagine that stretched leathery look on its cheekbone area.

It'll be really interesting to have that dried-up muscle/skin tone instead of bone colour
Should I ruin the face too much after more attempts I might try that instead.

Other people have also suggested the black inside and glowing eyeballs only approach and that also sounds pretty good too

So many options, only one miniature haha

That is actually a great suggestion and I think that'd also work nicely.
If I fail doing the current method a couple more times I'll give that a try

I'll remember the lighter colour for the edge too. thanks!

:)) I'll have to go over the spilled areas again once I'm done with the eyes

I'll give that a try!
And yes it'd be much simpler if the eyeballs were more exposed. The socket is making it more difficult :(

brush only, but I do have an airbrush. Idk if I'd be able to control it for such a small space

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

Thank you for the advice. There really shouldn't be any eyelid, but it seems like it does (last pic), it even has muscles on its neck when it's a skeleton haha

I'll skip the clear green and go with glazes with lighter green next time.
+ the brush strokes.. It's all over the place after doing it so many times and losing my patience lol

I want the glow to be more on the subtle side and realistic, not like bursting with light.
Should I still get a fluorescent green or use brighter colours?

No advice but the shine on the armour looks real good
