edonil Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'm also hoping that I get to pick up my Arsenal Packs and Showdown: Icons today, but we'll see if the order actually went through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I am so glad I'm never going to be painting another one of these... ---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ---------- Manage to get any sleep last night?

edonil Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 It was. Although the next one is going to be a little crazy. We're dragon hunting apparently, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lussuria Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I think I've made a ... er.... sort of break through in painting. And by that I mean I've suddenly realised something I've been doing wrong all along with 'thin layers of paint'. The solution takes more time to accomplish that what I'm doing now. ... ... .. .. . I quit. Faaaaar too impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 heh, very wise! I spend far too much time doing it that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lussuria Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 See now your painting work is just advocating for me to accept 'slow and steady wins the race' if I ever want to paint well. Noooo, why can't the rabbit win the race? The rabbit wants to win the race with thick sloppy layers and a 10minute head staaaart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yeah, those breakthroughs tend to be a little fun, lol. What was the breakthrough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Lol. You can get good results quickly, I've seen it done! I'm just really slow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 No kidding he's slow, lol. But, he's great at stuff. If you want to get to Golden Demon quality, you definitely need patience. If you want high quality tabletop painting, don't need quite as much, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lussuria Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yeah, those breakthroughs tend to be a little fun, lol. What was the breakthrough? I've apparently been completely miss-understanding what people mean by 'thin layers'. I kept thinking 'guys I'm now basically painting with a puddle of water here', and now I've realised it's actually not so much (still but not as much as I thought) about how 'watered' down it is, as it is about how much paint is in my brush and transferring to the model. Lol. You can get good results quickly, I've seen it done! I'm just really slow... I plan to invest in large tubes of colour and that instant shading stuff. I look forward to my entirely one colour miniatures army. Bahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yep! That is indeed the trick. For drybrushing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yup. I paint with small amounts of coloured water on my brush. It takes aaaaaages. And I'm still half assed at it! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lussuria Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'm not sure getting any slower than I already am is a legit option! It already takes me like 2 weeks to finish 1 model, in the same time my friend has finished like 6 award winning looking minis. Oooooh woooooe is me. Drats, I was hoping I was just going to wake up one morning and just start magically producing golden demon award winning jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Practice. And figuring out shortcuts, lol. I have lots of them. Not using quite as many, but that's mainly because I don't need them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Someone once told me that there are two ways to learn to paint - start fast and get more accurate, or start accurate and get faster. Once I'd realised that I was the second one, he pointed out that the first type gets a ton more practice in and improves so much faster, lol.

Lussuria Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 What if you're neither!? Pay friend to paint it for you! Now on to watching Night at the Museum ... because you know, I don't really care what age bracket you fit into, this movie is awesome. It reminds me to re-watch the Librarian series.
