New T-shirt, Paintin' Minis, and More! BTS #82
🕑 Added 2020-11-19 21:20:22 +0000 UTCHey mini family! I've been working on a few things lately, kind of all over the place. Earlier in the week, I started to paint this guy.
The idea here is to forgo the usage of color and paint something monochromatically. This model is an exercise in finish and texture. Often times as miniature painters we paint something like wood brown and that's good enough without also considering the texture of wood, or anything else, so what happens when we remove the "crutch" of color? I am hoping to explore this idea in an upcoming video. This video will be sponsored by some of my favorite manufacturers, Terrible Kids Stuff, but their Kickstarter is getting delayed a lot and bouncing around. I thought we had pinned down a date but it moved again so I have this model on standby until I know the actual date range and in the meantime, am working on a different video.
I am working on another basing video! I love my little collection of bases I have amassing and I love this video format. It should be out sometime tomorrow for you to see early but the video itself will come out on Black Friday because I'll be running a Black Friday sale. Everything on my webstore will be 20% off, and this will be the first time The Duchess and the digital course for her will be on sale ever, so get the deal while it's steamy and hot (on black friday). Related to Black Friday, I also have a new T-shirt design coming out.
The concept here is that the golem is a metaphor for your backlog that you're constantly fighting against. I hope you like it! Lastly, I finally shipped of the Renegade Knight commission to its owner. I used Kaizen foam to create a shell for the parts to sit in so it didn't move at all.
Luckily it arrived at the owner's house and was unscathed. Yay! After finishing that Cult of Paint sponsorship and shipping this model off, I truly have 0 paid painting obligations anymore, and I feel great!
That's all for now, PAINT MORE MINIS!

Yeah that would be great. We have a time difference of 8(?) hours, i will look at the lunchbreak.
Yes!
Do you shipping to switzerland?
Thank you ❤️
I'm so fucking hyped for the new shirt - Black Friday cant come sooner \m/
That’s not too bad, I’ll get up early.
It's tricky because if I push it back further, it runs into my standard ritual for walking the dogs/making dinner. The evening stream goes from 1pm CST to 4pm CST. Is that late enough or do you need it later?
Any chance of doing an Aussie friendly stream one of these days? You wouldn’t have to push it back much to get it to Saturday morning.
Heckin' yes, dud
We definitely have 3XL, and will likely have 4XL as well!
I like that shirt man! Be sure you carry big bastard size too please! lol

Oooh I love this shirt!! This morning I was bummed it wasn't Friday, not cause of the weekend, but for your stream haha
Todd, don't do this to me! Haha
I've never noticed 🤔
I'm really excited for this monochromatic video. I haven't tried textural approaches yet, so am looking forward to seeing what you figure out. And I'd like to talk to you about a commission....haha! Congrats on moving on.

Scott, often times as a YouTuber you start a sentence with “Often times as miniature painters...”
