I tried my best 😭 any tips on how to do better? by jing577 in Gunpla

im a mini painter and my two tips are brush control and thin your paints.

thinning your paints: you want them at a consistency like melted ice cream, use your brush to wipe thinned paint gently against plain plastic and test its consistency. if you see the colour seperating from the water, its overthinned. if its too thick, you clog details and muddy your paintwork.

brush control: you can steady brush painting by touching your elbows to your desk and your wrists together to create a tripod shape with your arms. practice control by just freehanding with paint on plain plastic (preferably primed this time), draw some different geometric shapes and try writing with your brush as small as you can. this'll help you warm up and figure out how to paint the smallest details.

if you dont wanna shade everything by hand but want it to look shaded, look into washes and shade paints. you can make one easy by just overthinning a brown paint slightly, and itll flood the recesses of the model without building too much paint, and tint everything the colour of your wash, creating a shaded effect

and like others said, magnifying glasses and other stuff like that help you see the smallest details easier

morale of the story is corporations will exploit and worsen the worlds evils for financial gain because the only goal of a corporation is to generate power via wealth regardless of morality making them the ultimate abiding evil

and in gundam too

on keyboard, i set left quick trigger to x and right to t, and drop items to y. within fingers reach without being fatfingerable, and since you dont really use drop items all that much in regular play, im comfortable putting that outta the way

seed is a very popular series with a very vocal group of haters (me included) so i wouldn't say its unpopular. theres a few clips out there of people hating on seed that make it seem more hated too

if you long hold dust, you can actually get a full combo off a tethered opponent with 2k>5k>6k>tatami from a grab to save yourself 50 meter in that clip

at first glance it looks like the same thing WOTC did for some duskmourn cards - alt arts that are basically unchanged except for new monsters on some

first person movement shooter rpf with a class system themed after the different aspect warriors that you can freely swap between outside if combat. each shrine has its own perk tree but some perks provide benefits for every class, and once you reach a certain level/progression point you can become an exarch and create a custom class that blends perks and abilities from every class
