Anything I've painted in the last few months has been on Colour Forge Desert Sand primer. My absolute favorite primer so far with a good spray nozzle, and a lot of primer in the bottle.
Highly recommended!

Thanks Shadow! =) I realized I hadn't done one for a United mini and that's kind of important since they're very different with the heavy black-lining all over.
Really glad you like it!

I'm with you there! I currently do my painting in an open kitchen area in the middle of everything, and our beloved cat steals my painting chair frequently. When we move, I'm getting myself a studio room tucked nice and away from things =)
Hope you get yours too!~

Man, the framing on that is so gorgeous. I love your flower pics but it really strikes me when you do the silhouetted tree photos like this.
Fantastic shot Sandra!

Monster Train 2 came out in May, the sequel to the game that imo crushes Slay the Spire, and it's -incredible-. My wife and I have been playing for hundreds of hours and I've been enthusiastically writing up strategy guides for it on Steam too.
It will keep us entertained for years!~

Hey Diedrich! Was watching the new King of the Hill season and -immediately- recognized your voice when it showed up. Always loved your body of work and only found out recently you were on bluesky. Wanted to say hi & wish you well from a fan of your work =)

I'm with you! Seeing Golden Demon winners has never inspired me.. that's the best painters with the best tools working to win a thing with big splashy models. Cool; not inspiring.
However, regular folks using regular tools to do all sorts of cool things with models of all shapes & sizes? Love it!

Looking really nice so far! When I have a lot of black to do, sometimes I mix with non-black colors like browns/blues/purples and use deep black shadows to give the illusion of all-black clothing. If the highlights are cool/neutral, it tends to read as black. Best of luck~

It's adorable, and you bet! It's always cool to see how we progress. I spent some time organizing painted minis this weekend and it's always interesting to see ones I'm still proud of vice the ones I'd massively change if I were doing now X)

Both fantastic, but I love the extra contrast of the night sky on the right one~

Looking really nice! Don't know if you sing or dance but this is clearly good enough to make you a double-threat.

They're -so- good. Desert Sand has become the default-prime color for basically everything I paint lately. You won't be disappointed!

Looks way better than "fine" to me, they're a great fit and the paint job is lovely!
99%+ of the painting we do wins no awards, but a nice looking model on the shelf/table is a reward in itself.

Thank you so much! Definitely a lot of little corrections needed to get the face that way, but I'm happy with where I landed on it =)
