That's okay stewie! Hang in there! We'll get this thing together. (Yes, I'm still trying to get off this computer and run my errand. So I really do have to go now. BRB! hehe!

She's back! Don't worry, I won't bug ya long. lol! I've been doing good over here, Skell, thank you! I just haven't had time to paint at all. I'm really trying to figure out was to work into the...

First off - I gotta tackle MiJ with a hug! Squeeeee! How are ya MiJ? I'd better be careful here or I'll knock you over. lol! I'm so glad you popped in to say hi!



Awww.... thanks Dig! You're so...

Well, I've been busy, unfortunately not the mini painting busy.

But - got my premise for the sci/fi off to my editor. She's going to help me put it into books right proper.

Got a new idea...

Hi Mud!!! Thank you! Keep your fingers crossed! We shall see what trouble I can get myself into. ;)

Never enough hours in the day.

Okay gang - if you haven't heard about Star Trek: Prelude to Axanar get thee hence to their website and/or FB page. lol!

Let me back the truck up a little. In...

I made it back! Houston Con was fantastic! But I'm absolutely exhausted. We just got back late last night. I've got to get a developmental to my editor on Wed. I'm hoping I can recoup today then tell...

Sweet! Yeah definitely need to put those suckers through their paces. I remember seeing some nice models from them as well but haven't looked at anything new from them. It will be interesting to see...

hehe! That's what I was talking about with Stewie. I definitely want to get something going. Since I got some wolfies in the mail - and go figure this - the Warmachine stuff I have is looks really...

Looking great as usual 10!!!

OMG! The eyeball is fantastic and did you see the TEETH on that thing?

Great job! Love the blends you got too!

Too cool! I'd love to but I've got other stuff - besides at San Diego Comic Con, Richard Hatch was talking about doing an indie reboot of Battlestar Gallactica.

I liked the BG new series mainly...

HI Skellie!!!! How have you been?

Of course the banner is out of this world awesome! I love the colors!

I love the modeling paste. Have you tried the heavy carvable/sandable paste? This is...

Wow Bailey! Fantastically awesome! He looks great so far but I can see how he's going to be a challenge. You know, you said freckles, I immediately thought more of sun damage/liverspots. lol! Holy...

I see those Earth Pigments! lol! Great job Zab - 90min hmmmm maybe I should try that to get stuff done by this weekend.

Hi Mar!

Well, we'll see - I swear the dark forces align whenever I come visit CMON.

The formatting issues I thought I had solved... well, they weren't... not even close.

I ended up spending...

So sorry! That was due to me trying to reorganize my photobucket - hah! That's another thing on the to do list than seems to fall lower on the priority list. But here's a link to my Photobucket...

Hi Webmonkey. lol! Nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome!

Very cool! Darkening those columns really helped. Didn't you say you grabbed some pigments? You can use those in addition with Sionid's suggestion of the wash to smooth and blend that out. (And the...

Thanks so much guys!



Hi Zab! Thank you! While I absolutely love what I do now (I enjoyed the office jobs I had in the past - but there's a big difference between liking your job and haiving a...

I guess it's appropriate that my name can be shortened to Kat, because the Kat keeps coming back when you think she's a gonner. I'm bascially every cliche you can think of, a bomerang, a bad penny...

Doing good but crazy busy, haven't been able to paint in over a year. :( Frank caught me on Google chat and I thought I'd stop in and say hello - and add to the To Be Painted Someday stack of minis....

Very cool DR! You'll really knock it out of the park!

So what's the status on the crane warrior dude? lol!

Dang it didn't see this and sent you a PM. Crud! As usual a day late and a dollar short. :(

Surprise!!! :ghost:

Just thought I'd pop in and check on y'all. ;)

There's only one problem, Frank, I can't zoom in on the pics so hard to tell. :(

Thanks 10! Uhh...you know it's slipped my mind already. Things are frantic over here and I'm fixin' to go on the warpath. I'm supposed to leave tomorrow and still have models that barely have...

OMG! I've only started, stopped, and came back to this about a dozen times now. At least this time, I didn't just slam a bunch of tabs closed without paying attention to my half-finished message....

hehe very cool! How does the beer taste?

I can't go to GenCon because my author/readers conference in Vegas is a week before. Unless I hit a jackpot in Vegas, I won't be able to go to two...

Hi everyone! So sorry this is a bit disjointed. Every time I go to reply, I end up getting interrupted and the next thing I know, I've closed the window and completely forgot about the post I had...

Oh dear - not sure if I should crack the whip and tell ya to get moving or give ya a hug. ;)



hehe - thanks Zab - ya see, if you blink, you miss it. These little elves came in and mentioned...

Very cool Moe! I've got my Touch of Ice but with the conference so close, need to concentrate on finishing stuff for that first. Then - can we rock n roll with the "paint off"? :smile-big:

Sorry about that gang - had to get another novel posted on Amazon. (pssstt...guys:secret: tell the gals you know pweeeezzzzzzz :smile-big: .. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DX73Z2M) So after that I was...

Hi Khonner! Just a quick drive by here. lol! I love the Reaper triads - especially skin tone ones but there's one color that doesn't fit that Jen Haley recommends for flesh tones. It's called Ashen...

Hey hun - how ya doing? Sorry I've been away. Had to get another novel posted to Amazon (gotta pay the bills!) and that took a ton of time. Been trying to work on YouTube tutorials and get stuff...

Great start with the blending, what's getting you is the lack of contrast. ;) Even though Mike's example is rough, you can see how it goes from very dark in places to almost white in others. You also...

Thanks Mike! And thank you to Khonner for attending as well. It was fantastic having everyone there. I really appreciate y'all taking the time. It seems Mario's enthusiasm has infected quite a few...

Good morning!

Well folks, today's the day. If you want to attend and didn't receive a Google+ invite, please PM me so it will ding my email. We've had quite a turnaround with attendees so I...

Oh I had a nightmare with the masking fluid once. *shudder* Not a pretty sight. I rarely mask (no airbrush) but after the disaster I started using Blue Tack and Silly Putty - those were much better....

Sorry about your kitty, it's always tough to lose a furbaby.

I just wanted to add that along with Bloodhowl's suggestion, I've also used the steam from the boiling pot to straighten small pieces...

I agree with boubi on the skin - popping those a little more will help keep him of getting lost in the robe.

And I'm headed the same direction as Zab. Use color tints - greens to offset the reds...

Looking very nice, Khonner!

My NMM is terrible right now but two things I do know. NMM depends on good blends and contrast. Blending goes hand in hand with thinning your paints. I use Reaper...

Hey everyone!

I created a Google+ Event so you should get an invite (Raz and Khonner, I'm sending one to you two as soon as I finish this.)



I recommend Earth Pigments (earthpigments.com)...

lol Mar! Here let me help. *waves hand in front of screen* You will now post larger photos...oh wait...sorry. ;)

Looks great Tommie! I especially like the Biohazard Morgan and Keegan Kor.

Trystan, he left "good" a long time ago, moved into "freakin' great", and is now headed for "scary fantastic!"

Hrmph - where did Ashantyr go? I gotta do some work on her. Too many tutorials in the...

You could buy her one of my books, Cass, that would cheer her right up. *evil grin* But, honestly, there is one possibility that you might not have thought of - here's the translation from another...

Voted! Great job, Bailey!

Wow - I got to knock the dust off this thread again! lol!

Well, that doesn't mean I've been sitting on my hands dontcha know. I've been busy busy busy!

First up YouTube Tutorials -

Video #1...

Hi Raz! Thanks! Yes, I definitely need to do a second one. It's really hit or miss on scheduling. The majority of people who can't come are having an issue with it being on a weekend. So, I want to...

https://www.youtube.com/user/awesomepaintjob

Check out Les' tutorials Cass - lots of cool info on airbrush stuffs.

As someone who survived the Thundertusk, I'm with ya Boubi! Looks absolutely fantastic!

Gorgeous! Beautiful work Bailey!

Okay - so, I haven't heard from everyone yet - so I'm going to toss this up here and see if anyone jumps up.

JUNE 22ND - 10AM CENTRAL TIME


We'll shall see if that works for everyone. :)

I've got blue metallics goofy! lol!

Okay Cassar get to painting!

I'd paint him if you'd let me do dry metallic pigments. ;) I could do some awesome work with dulling down the Pearl Ex.

But I think watching you paint him would be far more entertaining. ;)

Sweet! Great job on them - gotta love the red!

Very, very cool Trystan. Like where you're going with him!

Official date for the Painting with Dry Pigments Hangout is....


JUNE 22ND - TIME TBA


Edited to add: I was just told the live hangout show in front of me (we're trying to work together for...

I got ya on Google+ now. You'll see invites pop up. If you get a chance jump in. My friends are nuts, as Bailey found out. But it will give you a chance to make sure everything is working for the...

No, you're good hun. It will be on the 22nd. I'm going to go post an announcement on that in a bit. David just joined in with the regular gang I chat with every night.



Shoot, Bailey, I've been...

I was just going to suggest putting more color on him before you try anything more with the NMM. I thought it was going along just fine and the only reason why it might have looked wonky was because...

It was great having you join the hangout this eve. I just hope you'll come back. lol! I like my friends, but sometimes they are just plain nutjobs. lol! They did enjoy that you stopped in and...

Don't let that stop ya Tommie! Run to Tesco and pick one up. lol! You can get a decent one that's not expensive.

If that doesn't work, I'll be forced to resort to the puppy dog eyes and ...

Finally! Google has made this crap much more complicated than it used to be. But I got y'all in my circles now. Fair warning, you will get general hangout invites from me - a group of us get together...

Me too!

Beautiful work!

Yeah Trys - where you been?

Skelly, you know he can probably name the wood just by biting on it, but if all else fails, trade the kid in for a puppy. Obedience school is much cheaper than college....

Cool 10! Love the base and can't wait to see the lizard.

Holy.

Crap.

Beautiful work! Shoot - I'm gonna have to wait until the 1st for my Amazon payment. GAH!

Someone get this man some weathering pigments at the very least. hehe!

You are more than welcome to attend, Mike. Heck, if you can just grab two or three colors of weathering pigments (light,...

Bailey - is that part of your gmail addy? Google ID is different from that. I tried looking you up so I could add you to my circles but Google says you don't exist. lol!

Tommie it would be awesome if you could join us. I'm trying to set the time so my UK friends can participate and not be up until 4 am. lol!I think you guys are 6 hours ahead of me - so 2pm my time...

Rip apart? Rip apart? Skelly - my God man! If I really must nit pick, the shirt or whatever he's wearing seams to blend into his skin. Your bases still kick some serious butt tho. Makes me want to...

Cool Bailey - right now it's looking like not this weekend but next weekend, June 22, probably 2 or 3 pm central time. My friends are doing a live hangout and this one will follow. I probably will...

Part two vid of the details on her face - hopefully I can get the video finished up in one more segment then get back to painting - and of course, recording while I paint. lol! But I want to get the...

Just smack him, Crys! He hasn't been painting crap lately. Get with the program, Mar! Sheesh! ;)

Wonderful! Congrats William! I'm so happy for you. Unfortunate there was no prize support but still - Gold is gold. Very well done and you had some really fine pieces. Can't wait to see pics. Be...

Hey Krule - some days, I wish I never laid eyes on that paint brush because it's kicking my butt and that's embarrassing.

I've always photographed on macro setting and always battled with digital...

Oh he looks familar - isn't he the Grand Master or Templar or something. Don't make me go dig through my boxes. I know, internet is easier, but I think I have that one.

And we're probably going to...

Yay, Bailey! Glad to have ya on board.



I don't know if we can get it organized that quickly but hey - we'll see what falls in, what I can make happen, what I can dodge before it hits me. :)
...

Okay gang, time to kick up some dust...pigment dust that is. We're going to find out who has the guts to try a new (hopefully to them) technique and see if there's anything to this Painting with Dry...

Sandboxie is your friend.

I LOVE that program. Yes, I use Chrome, and yes it supposedly already runs in its own sandbox - but when I had to do some research for my workshop, I had to explore some...

Wow! Those look really great!

Every motel I've been in where I had to paint had crappy lighting but yours looks pretty good. And very nice! I hope you did well in the contests! I really wish I...

Oh I hate it when a job gets in the way of a perfectly good hobby! Great job - love the purple squids. You do a great job with a difficult (for me) color!

ROFL!!! Great job Crys!!! Tear it up!

And yeah, Freak, that's a traditional sized Breyer model - Goffert if I remember correctly. He's a Friesian so pretty good size even for the traditionals.
...

Are you guys ready for this one?


http://youtu.be/A_sxzu937cM

Cool! Okay, metallic pigments - I get Jacquard Pearl Ex. You can find those on www.dickblick.com if you don't have a Michaels or Hobby Lobby near you. And if you go to Dick Blick, grab the Colour...

Great job on the dragon, Kat! Love the colors and how you're picking out the individual scales. How big is that thing anyway? Those wings make me think Grenadier.

Hi Bailey! Wow! You've got some really, really nice stuff going on. Love the hockey player and I don't even like hockey (bad, Kath! Hey, I'm from the south, ice is a difficult concept for me)....

Now that would be really cool! I'm working with my friends with the WG Consortium to get this organized and launched. They've been doing the video hangouts longer than me. I believe CMON is one of...

lol! Whoa! Hold yer horses there. Don't drag me into the middle of this. All I did was offer a suggestion on primer that I have used for a couple of years now and has worked nicely for me...but I ...

hehe! But I had her on my wish list FOREVER!! lol! Nows I just wondering how many pigs have to fly before I can talk Mike into joining a google hangout discussing pigments. ;)



hrm...well, of...

It's basically a video chat room. You just need a webcam and a mic (usually a headset is best to prevent echo).

If you don't have a gmail addy, go over to Google and get one (free). The...

You're definitely rockin' it with the horsie painting. Very impressive how fast you picked it up. Lot's of fun to see ya advance with it.

hehe! No worries! The sheer clothing, yes I know what ya mean. I don't know if you remember my attempts with that technique using acrylics trying to get something together for ReaperCon 2012. So...

haha - thanks Zab. Bear in mind, the new camera makes a world of difference. Even though I'm taking stills with my webcam or pulling them out of the video footage, the camera blows my poor ancient...

Thanks guys, lol! But y'all didn't see the "purple looks like a bruise not a horse" x10. There's been many times when I started painting horses, I had to buy another model because I totally ruined...

This one is Medusa's Gaze

...

lol! I was thinking it was last weekend for some reason. Hmmm...I have a CRV I could always crash in my car. lol!

Very, very nice! The hair detail is just a wee bitout of scale. But it's really, really nice. Excellent color depth. And I did the same thing with the scale on the hair detail...scary huh? lol!

Hi Tommie! Great to see things are awesome...just like always...;) The freehand on the Eldar is fantastic...just when you think it can't get any better. Wow...just wow!

What laughing at the cat vid or laughing so hard you peed a little? Meh, what the hell we're all getting old any way. Pretty soon, we'll have a herd making a mad dash for the Depends in the store.
...

Did you go to War Gamers Con? I just didn't have the cash - well I did but I didn't...you know how that goes. How did you do? What was it like? Did you have fun? Tell all! Inquiring minds want to...

Whoo hoo! See kitty was just making sure they were tucked safely away for when you needed them. ;)

If you have not yet seen the Sad Cat Diary on YouTube. You must watch ASAP! lol!

My Tigger...

hehe - no worries. Hey, I'm in southeast Texas, on the Gulf and Louisiana line. Aside from the hurricanes, they don't call it the armpit of Texas for nothing. I have to really watch it 10 months out...

Ah...now that makes sense. Very cool! Can't wait to see how he turns out.

Very, very nice.

And I still can't even get close with NMM. So don't feel bad Rayzr! I had it down both silver and gold with LOTR stuff. Then hand tremors started and I couldn't paint smalls, did...

Muzzle, around the mouth and nose...maybe just a tiny bit on the eyes. He's got that robe thing going on, so palms and bottom feet. Maybe the inside of the elbows or knees...but I think the biggest...

Very nice dragon! I like the head on this one. Now, I figure you're probably waiting to get the neck attached but you may want to make sure he has a jaw bone in the back. I think having that set up...

That was one of the first scale models I ever assembled. (The Revel Snap Together Dinosaurs don't count - didn't paint 'em). Wow! Talk about memories. The second scal was the Wells Fargo Stage Coach...

Shoot Trystan - we just need to kidnap Skelly and bring him to the states. He'll get used to Texas in the winter and Illinois in the summer. He'll be painting messages on those banners like Chinese...

Yup! My horsie made it for 2011. But send in hi-rez photos - they WILL pick the worst possible one.

And...how does my horsie end up in the Steampunk Category???? *head desk*

And just to make...

Nice Zab! And voted on purple...uh...girl? She looks very nice!

And pinning is for the birds! Give me superglue and baking soda any day of the week. lol! I swear, I could rule the world with that...

Oh sweet!!!! Looking fantastic! (By the way, I got a $2 coupon for starting a WIP on E2046.com.) Spent it immediately on A Touch of Ice so she should be on her way from Hong Kong.

But lovin' the...

I use said stuff all the time. Although, you'll find spray primers better with larger scale. Save the brush on for tiny stuff. ;)

WAHOOOO!!! LOOK OUT BOYS! THE GIRLS ARE BACK IN TOWN! (Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head the rest of the day. *sigh* I will never learn.)

Welcome back Crys! Paint on girl!

In the model horse hobby my friend had Rustoleum and Krylon not play well together and almost ruined an expensive model horse. Also, a few years ago, Tamiya primer and Rustoleum didn't get along...

Sweet! He's looking great! Here's something for you to chew on. On the areas where there is very little fur mostly skin, try highlighting it up to a human colored flesh tone. Don't force it or...

Yes and no - I like the sculpts better. The only time I care if it's large or small scale is when I have to pick up a paint brush and my hand goes nuts. The pigments are much more forgiving with my...

Well, I think I slept all week. I've been sick with bronchitis again. UGH! But I did manage to get some work done.

But I actually have video tutorials too. Yay!

Oh boy - two in one day, I think...

Dang it! So much for the slight of hand.

Okay well, I made some progress cleaning up the disaster my kitty cat left me.

Some of ya may remember this little...uh...okay 18lbs is not little.
...

For me, the smaller the model, the more contrast it needs. So these larger scales are more subtle with highlights and shadows. I enjoy the change of pace because its so different. Keeps my hand/eye...

*sigh* There's just no pleasing you is there? :sad:

Oh this is not good. After all of this work, I had put her arms and head in a ziplock bag to wait until I was ready to work on them. Grabbed the bag last night - no head.
...

Looks good, Moe!

It can, you can use a flow-aid, and there are several other mixes for different situations. But hey, if water is working for ya, stay with it, it's cheaper.

Very cool, Trys!

lol! Great start, Zab! And welcome to WIP! hehe

Oh...been there done that Skelly - I second the motion to try a different mini. Find one you absolutely love, always wanted to paint, even if it's a different scale or one you would never enter in a...

lol! My son is 17. They'll probably be great pals and I'd have an even bigger mess in the kitchen than I do now.

I can't wait to see what ya think of the models when they arrive.

haha - Great job Mike and nice try Mar. Now, next step is to get Mike to use pigments on her. muhahaha!

lol! Some days - it just isn't worth chewing through the leather straps. lol!

We're gonna rock this town...rock inside out....hell, let me just do this.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RxBHRZpIdg

I'm giddy because the little elf lady turned the corner AND I got decent...

Looking fantastic, Cass!

Must have new shiney! :hypnotized:

Honestly though, we really don't have any gamers in my area so I just paint. But that means I don't have to worry about armies. If I like the sculpt then I buy...

Looks nice, Moe! But I gotta agree with Mar in that I'm having a hard time seeing the highlights. But I've got a crappy screen too.

Hey, it's fun, motivating, and folks here give great advice. You'll love it...and of course it's not like we're giving you links to websites like www.e2046.com if you're a fan of anime or like larger...

Cool Moe! I'm always one for anything goes. I hate limiting creativity - if an artist does commissions sometimes they get shoved into a very small box and it can get cramped after a while. So...

Voted! Very cool! Does CMON expand the pics? The only reason I didn't vote as high as I wanted to was because he's an itty bitty in a big field. But gorgeous.

Well, the biggest thing to remember is when applying sealer, it sends the pigment darker. So after about 10-20 minutes, she's dry to the touch but it takes about an hour for me to see what color...

Okay - supposed to be working on my book trailer vid right now but just got some great news. The big convention I'm going to in Vegas a week before Gencon is one of the biggest conferences for...

Knocked it out of the park, Andy! Nicely done! And don't worry, I won't tell anyone all of these photos are saved in the directory that's right next to the one you did of the fake moon landing....

Any time Zab! Happy to help. I saw your blog - nice prizes in that last giveaway. ;)

I also hang out with a bunch of mini painters on Google+ and we compare notes on stuff, welcome to jump if ya...

MY FAVORITE!!!! I luvs Prowler! :love:

Looks like Ashantyr has a date *wink, wink* lol!

Great start on him! Keep on rockin and soooo glad you've got your inspiration with this project. When...

Splashing paint on...he says...yeah...hehe...looks great 10! My only thing, the transition on his knuckles on his left hand (our right). I'm tired so it's probably me not being able to see straight...

Oh noes, Zab! I've got those too and I love them. Time to alter the wormhole for the cats because if you do decide to try not only pigments but metallic pigments - you really need those silicon...

Looks great!

I'm learning to love my W&N again. Unfortunately, I can't get the ones I want in stock any more. I tried DaVinci and really like the 1505 Miniaturist but again, I'm always a day late...

Love the loafers! lol!

Alrighty then - since I got my Elf Assassin going in my thread...and a Royo waitin in line....I propose a challenge to you, sir. I'll match whatever Royo you choose with...

Okay cool! Can't wait hun! (And braces herself for the butt-kicking she knows is coming.)

hehe! Well...conventional is just so....conventional. You know the saying smile, it makes people wonder what you're up to...well, being unconventional keeps people on their toes (especially me!)
...

Me to! lol! I worked for a very brief time in radiology in a hospital. Yeah, did not last long there. UGH!

Okay...back on topic before the memories give me nightmares. lol!

Thank you William. I should have started with pigments first since I'm more comfortable with them.



haha! I can hear her now, "my eyes are up here, Skel, oh wait..."

If I use them on...

Thanks Krule! Yeah, that's why I wanted to try flesh tones with this stuff. I have a couple of colors that work perfectly.

Here's layer 2

20646

20647

I've got her face done too but forgot...

Well the Kindle Fire which I have is very close to a tablet. In fact I don't think it will go extinct. It will just turn into a tablet.

Sharing is pretty easy MiJ. People can comment on my novels,...

Okay finally got the Elf Assassin from E2046 prepped. Fleshtone is one layer of dry pigment.

20643

20644

Needs a second base layer then shading and highlighting.

The Raven! Cool!

Can't wait to see what you do with the red. I can't find a mini I painted not long before I took my break. Will had red armor and I actually got it right. He's disappeared I know...

I got the 2011 annual. Just a bit of constructive crit if Chern or anyone happens by.

Proofread, proofread, proofread. Found a few mistakes here and there...I do the same thing with my books and...

I got a couple of books she might like to read.

BAD KATH! BAD KATH!

Sorry - I couldn't help myself. ;)

Whoa! Looks great! But if you start muttering IT'S ALIVE...I'm outta here. hehe! Great job hun!

WOW! Love the colors but I think the background takes some pop out of the clothing - skin is perfect. Maybe add a bit more gray to the background? I dunno - shooting in the dark here. lol!...

Water is finally back on as...

Heya Moe - these I picked up on ebay - they really don't have a brand name. I got them last year and at the time they were the only thing I could get. Everything else was neon but not UV reactive....

Any plastic that I have here CA will glue. I know there's one type that it won't but I can never remember which one. I thought they made the lids out of it...silly me...huh? hehe!

I've got him on Google+ the UV paint thingy.

Okay me and the camera have started World War IV. WWIII was a draw.

But painted on my old Knight of Chaos,

Nothing...

Waaaayyy ahead of ya Trys....lol! Got his stuff too.

I absolutely LOVE the colors! It's gorgeous!

And I'm going to go put away my paints before I hurt myself. ;)

LOVE Two Steps from Hell, Mike! And I thought I was the only nutter around here. lol!

It honestly depends what I'm working on. Writing historical novels -

Welcome back to the hobby!

Okay let's have some fun!http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/happy/happy0167.gif

Finally got some more super glue. Peel off the back cardboard and happened to glance at it.

WHAT IT SAYS:
...

Glad to see you sculpting again Cass! Looking great!

Looking great MiJ! The bikes are my favorites!

Sweet! The face is awesome!

Looking fantastic as usual Skel! Can't wait to see what you do with it sculpted or no.

Cool! I keep telling myself I'm going to save up for an airbrush - yuppers, sure am. *sigh*

Hi Chrome! Love the plague scarabs. ;)

Mud! Hi hun! How ya been? Yeah, I'm painting again - or at least trying to. lol!

QFT! Coming back and seeing what you can do now is beyond impressive.
