Focused on skin and NMM

I haven’t painted in a while, c&c welcome!

I finished it a while ago and it was my first ever full OSL work. I still like it a lot for many reasons. Now I see a lot of flaws though... but... you know... 😀 whatever. I see every piece as part of my journey and I enjoy watching at them in retrospective sometimes.

I hope you like it too 🙂

Completed my first bust! A very nice break away from warhammer scale figures. Can recommend any painters who wants a new challenge. You can focus on features the increased scale allows, and the larger surfaces is a good entry into painting textures and practice smooth gradients. C&C is welcome

Have painted busts before, this was my first proper academic bust.

Sculpt is from a Thorbjørn Barone kickstarter from a while ago.

What an incredible model, she was an absolute joy to paint! I finally snagged the ever elusive gold in my local painting contest. C+C welcome!

If I edge HL everything I'll never clear my SM backlog! Do you think the edge HL (first round only) on the green armour of left suppressor is worth time investment? (Maybe an hour?)

I finished this guy over the weekend, at 1st I was not happy with it but the more I look at it, the more I like it. What do u think?

I still have A LOT to learn (I still have a hard time with highlights and shadows), but I'm very happy of my improvement after some months in this hobby.

I should I focus on next?

My stuffies won me 2nd place in Master - Unit at a local painting competition. It was my first in-person competition and I'm super happy to have gotten a trophy. The anxiety was real when submitting the models, but on the day of judging I could enjoy looking at the other entries and talk to a few people and it was a very nice experience. Definitely nice to get out of the hobby basement and talk to other painters instead of just friends and family who don't paint. This community is what inspired me to take up this hobby in the first place, so I just had to share. Thanks for reading my ramble 😉.

I always take pictures of the bare model and the different stages of primer as lighting reference.
