Silly Penny, if I had "something more important" to do I'd not be watching miniature painting videos on a Sunday morning

[@torymiddlebrooks]

I appreciate the extra time for the advanced techniques in this one! Really nice little boost that makes it WAY better than "decent table top standard".

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thanks Tory! Yeah, to be honest I was pretty intimidated making those first lines of the pattern, but I'm glad it turned out okay :)

[@torymiddlebrooks]

@@MidwinterMinis I think I'd be very very pleased with myself if I could do that level of quality in a regular paint, much less a speed paint.

[@Ishpeck]

I like it when a mini approximates the Rule of Tincture. It's almost as awesome as when it satisfies it perfectly.

I really like how that turned out you’re the only person I’ve seen to get that good of a glow on the pistol if there’d be anything I think you could do better it’s be to add a bit more metallic colors on the machinery

[@MidwinterMinis]

Nurgle's gift has blessed me...

[@KelRiever]

My opinion that in the time it took to paint this guy, he's wonderful. And good for not shying away from freehand. At some point, one person's opinion here, you could do a video on decals (I haven't checked, you may have one already). Done well, I don't think decals really save time, but they turn art into a technical ability more, if someone is nervous and doesn't want to fret, especially in detail work. You certainly don't need me telling you what to do though! Who's the pro? Hmm, who? You are! ;)

[@MidwinterMinis]

Yeah, definitely! I covered the super basics in the UR-025 video, but definitely a simple "how to" for transfers that doesn't send you to sleep might help some people, you're right :)
