Good work, Baker San.
Not going to lie, i have painted stuff just so i could take a picture and see it end up in the mosaic.Whoever had this idea originally is a genius.Also thank you bakersan, you're always very thoughtful.
>>98454527if only craftsperg could be excluded
>>98454546I don't think he posted any of his sloppa lately
look ma, I finally made it into the op
>>98454551entirely beside the point
>>98454546better that the collage gets ditched entirely and then not only will that stop happening but skilled painters won't be sharing the spotlight with any plebs here
Sorry if this is the wrong thread/board but is anyone else watching Miniature Masters?
>>98454631kys without any delay.
>>98454631wrong thread/board, fuck off with this slop
>98454631posted it again award
>>98454632>>98454636It's about miniature painting. That's on topic.
>>98454527Same, I feel like I'm losing my hobby streak if I don't get in the collage for a few threads..
>>98454631i dont know what that isi get enough cringe as is from zoomie anons unironically watching youtube videos here
>>98454631In theory I should want to watch this, but I just don't want to. I assume it's a lot more about the drama that can be created rather than the hobby of miniature painting, so I don't think it's for me.
>>98454631Why should I when dwarf porn exists?
>>98454631I know it's bait, but I still bite. Faggot.
>>98454631I say this with the utmost genuine and heartfelt sincerityFucking kill yourself.
>>98454687No :^)Cry harder bitch boy
>98454631buy an ad
>>98454631This is great b8 anon. I'm stealing it for future threads.
>>98453998>>98454631No but I freehanded some checkers
>>98454775Looks good anon. Freehanding checkers on a rounded surface is tough but you have the right idea going about it.
>>98454775Nice
>>98454775wish we were free of pictures of your hand
>>98454775wish we got more pics of your hand
>>98454775I wish this >>98454828 anon had more pics of your hand
>>98451993Hey man, got any sculpting tips? I tried to copy your mods on some of my witches but wasn't very successful.
>>98454912Boobs are shaped like spheres.
>>98453372I understand the new is old aspect of 40k design, but I think gw does a poor job of keeping the anachronisms at the same level. most of the guard aesthetic is ww2, but then the vehicles are like 80% ww1, except for the aircraft which are vietnam. it's like if you had a 12th century crusader and give him a futuristic laser sword that's cool, but if you give him a bronze age hoplite shield then it just looks confused.
>>98454920actually they're shaped like bags of sand
>>98454912Work small and gradually. Sometimes you can sand and carve but for the most part epoxy is an additive process, so learn how to blend. Probably the most overlooked thing is good light and magnification.
>mini looks good>take a picture>a million flaws immediately noticeablea-at least the nmm turned out ok
Starting on some generic cultist guys for my Frostgrave collection.
>>98455037your phone amplified everything wrong with it in post.
>>98454793>>98454812Thanks boys>>98454844>>98454868lmao10 bucks on patreon
>>98455037>a-at least the nmm turned out okwe'll be the judges of thatpost it
>>98455037Yeah, it sucks but serves as a good tool to help you catch mistakes. I feel like miniatures and pictures are natural enemies because minis only look their best in pics when that mini is specifically painted for pictures.>>98455061This has potential to look very grimdark and I hope you go that route. Good luck all the same.
>>98455061>avatar or signature use
>>98453998Thanks for putting my wip SoB in the op.
>>98455037Happens every time. I started using a magnifying glass to check my paint so I could see the mistakes before I take pics.
>>98455166I had a magnifying lamp I used to use all the time until I realized it was making me obsess over details that weren't even noticeable from a normal view.I'm going on have to pull it out again then however when I attempt irises on eyes.
>>98455071still wip obviouslyI just realized I forgot to paint the little raised chest trim
>>98455093Given that the site has tripcodes, and also a field on posts called 'name' this rule never really made a lot of sense.
>>98454920Nice boobs are more like teardrops
>>98455274it's not like we need a name to spot his work anyways
>>98455061>slapslop
>>9845530745:55
>>98455220>at least nmm turned out okayIt's a good start but you still have a ways to go. Still, the overall piece is in good progress. You are going to see big improvements in your later pieces with practice.
>>98454775I'd like to hear anything at all about your method, I want to put checkers on my knights.
>>98455313>slapcock
>>98454565We're all proud of you, Anon. Keep it up!
>>98454673>dwarf porn existsWait, what? I need more information. For scientific research.
>>98455313That requires contrast paint, drybrushing as a first step predates slapchop, newfag.
>>98455310No just rubbing schizo's face in it
>>98455370You should try using those glazes that supposedely give the same effect as contrast-type paints lmao
>>98455370There is 0 point at all to drybrushing as a first step if you are just going to layer. At least with a zenithal you can use it as a rough guide for light placement.
>>98455368just google it? It's like a major subgenre. I'm surprised there are people who are unaware of it.
>>98455379You should try posting minis
>>98455381Thin your paints
>>98455384I do almost every thread :^)
>>98455381nta but i drybrush after priming because it makes it easier for me to see all the different parts of the model easier for basecoating. if a model is primed all black it can be harder to tell what's a belt buckle or not, for example>>98455387also this, even if they're not contrast paints, acrylic paints aren't 100% opaque especially with a first coat
>>98454828Why, though? That's an adequately maintained fingernail right there.
>>98455407maintained, maybe. But you see those ridges? That man is on the verge of death.
>>98455330
>>98455313NTA but it already looks way better than your average greytide
>>98455310And what about your own work, mate? Any pic is better than no pic.
>>98455382Shocking as it may be, not every 4chan dweller is a consummate porn connoiseur
>>98455412cmon now
>>98455447come on yourself
>>98455504I do every day. Often 2 or 3 times a day.
>>98455394pics or it didn't happen
I'm gonna call this guy done, only thing left to do is gingerly remove him from the base so I can spruce it up a bit.
>>98455416i wasn't trying to be demeaningi have been posting my ruins for a few threads now, casting supplies are in the way, you will know of my failures soon
>>98455407Put the model down, this isn't reddit.
>>98455517>identify yourself to a notorious schizo shitposternah, I'm good
>>98455560I'm testing out photogrammetry-ing models into my new digital life. Not bad for a first rough attempt. Also WIP I guess, but I've posted this girl before, it was just the closest model I had on hand.
>>98455572haven't you painted that same girl like 3 times now?they were all pretty good
>>98455589It's a really easy model to paint, and she is pretty so it's easy to look at for a long period of time.
>>98455597those are two very good points
>>98455560So you know you're a faggot
>run out of my usual VMS primer>no worries, still have some Vallejo until replacement arrives>use it today>absolutely disgusted by the performanceI'm not saying Vallejo makes bad primers, they are alright. But goddamn, they are so much worse than what I got used to with VMS.
Just finished this dude from the scouts Kill Team. It was also my first time ever using regular acrylics with a wet palette instead of contrast/speedpaints (I used a couple of those as base) and it was quite fun. I didn't really bother with many highlights and it's a far cry from what is usually posted here but i'm very happy with the result and I think it already looks better than most of the stuff I've painted with speedpaints.I just gotta apply a couple of decals now but I'm gonna get some Micro Set - Micro Sol first.
>>98455572Looks good, but the spectral highlight in the foreground looks to be from a lightsouce too near to the objects for the scale. Pull it back a little and lower the ambient light a couple of notches to soften the effect of the backlighting and take the blue out of the midground overhead light. It's too cool for the background wall color.
>>98455676That looks great, look the contrast and material differencec
>>98455695It's all just lit with a single default HDRI right now. The plan when I'm ready is to dim that a bit and then light the scenes with intentional lights and keep the HDRI as a sort of baseline to add some interest to reflections.
>>98455703Thanks anon! It was also my first try with subassembly (I painted the head separately) and overall it went pretty smoothly
>>98455676>>98455733really nice anon! yellow is a massive pain in the ass to paint with but you did a great job
>>98455572Ai slop
>>98455752:)
>>98455762Gen alpha take.
>>98455771All the paints say scarlet red zommie
>>98455790It's a 3D render, toolbar.
>>98455790he already proved it was legit but keep trying retard-kun
>>98455329Honestly I literally just eyeball itI start by dividing the round kneepads in halves or quarters with thin white lines, then kept adding parallel lines, trying to keep the distance about the sameif you're painting over larger (and brightly coloured) areas like knight's shields and such you can use a thin pencil over gloss varnish to lay down a grid before filling it with your paints>>98455676Paints are a bit thick and could use some lining work but I enjoy vibrant colours and the face looks cool. Imperial fists?
>>98455797>>98455798Where?
>>98455812last thread, now shut the fuck up
>>98455814Just check no he didn't you fuckin retard.
>>98455841yes he did you fucking retard>>98445141>>98445209stop humiliating yourself for attention
>>98455852You post ai 3d render and expects me to fall for it. No wonder this site has gone to shit.
>>98455862It doesn't even look like AI. You're the type that falls for AI images.
>>98455862At least learn English before trying to shitpost next timeNo more free (you)s
>>98455869We are done here, goodbye samefag ai loser. Gonna go actually paint and post somewhere that isn't invested with Ai retards like you.
>>98455810>Paints are a bit thick and could use some lining work but I enjoy vibrant colours and the face looks cool. Imperial fists?Yeah, the yellow was Averland Sunset and I struggled a bit with its consistency but I kinda dig the rougher effect I ended up with. I'm kind of a lazy painter and I didn't feel like highlighting every nook and cranny.And yes, Imperial Fists! I'm kinda nervous about trying out decals but I've consoomed a bunch of YT tutorials so I'm feeling kinda confident.
>>98455880Good, one less low IQ shit stirrer.
>>98455880don't come back you fucking failed abortion
I think we shouldn't fight.I'm posting off-topic stuff, at least partly off topic, so I don't really mind if somebody is upset and shitposty in response. I just occasionally like to post the other hobby stuff I think is neat.
>>98455882Basecoating with yellow can be a hassleIf you're going to paint a lot of imperial fists and don't want to bother too much, using a white or bone primer and imperial fists yellow contrast paint produces a good result
>>98455927alternatively, painting with a beige color as a base coat before going with yellow works pretty good too>>98455882averland sunset is usually my go-to as well, for a yellow it has pretty good coverage
>>98455862 >>98455880Fren, listen, the guy modeled the whole thing himself, showed us the models in progress and discussed the process and programs he was using with me, an expert myself, it's not ai, it's 3d modeling work, he's good and it's quality stuff, enjoy it. We're all artists here so we should have fun with that. If you want to do that you are welcome, but if you just want to throw around insults take a break and come back when you feel better.
>>98455941Those look really good. The yellow work great with the caramel colored fur
>>98455790because it's all the same model, dumbassit makes less sense for it to be AI if it's consistent like that, it's a real 3D model.but please, go ahead and double, triple, and quadruple down on how you're right and everyone else is wrong, guy who just got here.
Working on a few last minutes bones for the base.
i don't have a problem i can quit Predator Battle Tank any time i want
>>98456132You kill for your art? Smol people?
>>98456161Very nice tonk, anon. Great weathering, especially the dust is nice.
>>98456161Are you sure? We have treads over here kid. Play some more!
>>98456187No anon, these bones are plastic.
>>98456222So he grows smol people with plastic bones to harvest for his art...
>>98456260brutal
>>98455967many thanks! i do like the tan skin and brown fur for my ratboys for that reason, lot of nice warm colors that contrast with the greens and blues i put on their stuff
this deldar looks cool as fuckany idea what kits I could use to kitbash something somewhat resembling him?
>>98456401Maybe something in the Necromunda line?
Some lazy ass contrast paint right here
>>98456438I was surprised how well a speed paint did bone. Makes me wave do an undead army.
>>98456477Yeah the stuff works ok for bones, just slap it on there and lift out the lights a little.
>>98456477i found the best so far is a lazy uneven layer of ivory first, then a layer of speedpaint. makes it not look like washed bones sitting on the ground for some reason.
>>98456401I'd take a look at the slaaneshi mortals line from AoS, lots of stuff in there that could work fairly easily
Just need to let this dry, then use the fixer on it.
>>98456748
I wish nids were a bit easier to kitbashalso debating on whether or not I want to do the arcing electricity/psychic energy off the brain bits
>>98455274I think the name is to prevent image spam, because otherwise people post images of the same anime character with all of their posts.
>>98456990>people post images of the same anime character with all of their poststrue. I would do this.who doesn't love anime girls?
>>98457101That covers avatar usage but tripcode/namefag IS signature use
Second go at doing a dome for my Osgiliath terrain. I fuckin nailed the color, was exactly the dull slate bluish i was going for. Could have been a bit tighter on the dry brushing, but im still very happy. >>98456950>arcing electricity/psychic energy off the brain bitsdo eeeet
I started learning to paint my minis (Mostly KDM) a couple of years ago but got busy with life;, I want to start practicing again but don't want to go through the ordeal of ordering a bunch of loose paints; Which case is the best bang for my buck atm?
Working on my second pathfinder squad using the kill team upgrade sprue
>>98456756
trying new things.
>>98457265Holy crap I love the carapace layering look. Is that stippling?
>>98457269I'm kind of drybrushing but with a brush that isn't meant for drybrushing, I just draw it over the whole shell, getting the paint on the raised portions of the shell and leaving the darker recesses.primed black, I went over the shell with a "drybrush" layer of temple guard blue, then over again with tesseract glow mixed with auric armor gold.
>>98457283forgot to mention I have another with the oppose layering, greengold first, then temple guard blue on top, and I kind of like it more, but photos will have to wait until tomorrow, I'm beat.
did this last night, hate it
>>98457283>>98457288cool, thanks for explaining
this is better but the placement of stuff is off. I think the horizon should come out of the middle of the sphere and be centered on the card.will redo
>>98455313I used a form of slapchop for the flowers. However, instead of black and white I started with dark red, and went towards white. I then painted them with a yellow ink.
>>98457327I really like the colors here
Witch #5 finished
>>98457404
>>98456654The lord of hubris definitely has the right vibe. Might be able to makr it work with some greenstuff. These Slaanesh units are surprisingly well armored thoughthere's a Slaanesh battleforce box that I've been trying not to buy at my lgs... might have to pick it up
>>98455326Well it’s certainly not perfect but I’m happy with it for now especially since I need to paint 4 more of these models just to finish the unit
>>98457148Great texture >>98457357Freaking freg! Ribbit?>>98457442Gems look great
>>98457404Would
>>98457357Really good colors, glasswork, and gemwork. Also cool frog. Idk if the wavy lines work on the main vial, I feel like the liquid would be settled. Where's the frog from?
>>98457404>>98457409Your phone camera is really fucking with your picture quality. The opencamera app can disable the inbuilt filters/blurring if you're using android.
>>98457409is the butt also custom sculpted? It is very voluminous
>>98456260Grim. Some would even say dark.
>>98457568Thanks. Still need to clean it up a bit. As for the main vial, I figured since she's running it would be jostling. As for the mini: https://www.amazon.com/Miniature-Wizardess-Tabletop-Collectors-Enthusiasts/dp/B0D8P8FPW3
>>98457633Thank you anon. This is with identical settings, but without whatever processing pass samsung has built in. It's still nowhere near a good camera but it's better than the bullshit I've been getting.
