Congrats! I hit it my first season and have never made it back.

Any particular deck get you there?

This explains so much.

Bless you.

 

I'm not loving how these look, but nonetheless, I had fun playing with inks through my airbrush.

Granted I can always strip and repaint, but even if I end up being lazy...these cost almost nothing but time to try. If I try again I'll definitely avoid pearlescent inks.

^ = painting goals!

Thank you for the link to the guide! I'm painting bugs for the first time and can use all the help I can get.

Working on my first prints off my Saturn 2. OPR Alien Hives.

Currently experimenting with different color schemes and painting techniques: -Speed/express paints. Not exactly loving these but may try inverting the colors. -Airbrushing with purple and blue pearlescent+yellow inks. These are going to get redone but it was a fun experiment.

Love the color palette! The noses and tails are winning details in my book.

Thank you for all of the above suggestions! I'm experimenting with white ink over black primer via airbrush here. I'll break out the dry-brush and titanium white to finish off this prep.

 

First prints off my Saturn 2. Excited to have them prepped for painting. I may have been to heavy handed with the zenithal...but time will tell!

Ah, looks like you're right.

"A personality disorder characterized by self-preoccupation, need for admiration, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem"

Is it sociopathy? Whatever disorder that allows someone to become a billionaire.

Going to add this one to my to-read list. Thanks!

Currently listening to The Fisherman by John Langan.

If you enjoy stories within stories - this nails it. I'm dreading what is still too come, and loving it!

With narcissists like this I think it's safe to assume they don't really factor in what people think of them. At the end of the day he won't own up to being a failure.

Losing the cash likely hurts more. As much as it can when you're that ungodly rich.

Would some light varnish lock that look in?

Loving it!
