Rick it's sprayed for the base coat.

Lost - well I've been painting since I was 10 then stopped at 16. Started again 5 years ago but really put the hours in over the last 2 year's.

It's just practice, practice, practice...... or you could just dip the minis like Andy does, with some fine results I must say :)

I think the way you've elongated the pink of the mouth up to the cheeks makes a lot of sense for how far orcs open there mouths, great job as always mate

The eyes are absolutely splendid really menacing! Teeth spot on; tat lovely ear great. I think the skin just needs a tiny bit more contrast on it IMHO. Great job could be in the running mate. :good:

For some time now ive been meaning to ask everyone that when you are all painting do any of you get angry when people talk, walk, breath near by?
Ive been getting worse, to a point where ive had to start to paint when people are out or in bed.

Nope, I'm exactly the same.

I paint a lot in the evening as I work in the day and I tend to zone into a painting trance. If the wife comes in and starts rummaging though things and breaks my concentration I get angry I have to carefully put my brushes down and walk out of the room. Its the same when I hear the pitter patter of the kids up stairs. :) I thought I was the only one. I also get angry when I just sit down, put some paint on my pallet. I load my brush up and I hear "DAAAADDDD". I guess its more frustration than anger though.

anyway your centaur is looking fantastic. You are truly top of the game.

Crikey Lee they are some stunning skin tones.
I am actually ok while painting. However I do not start until the kids are in bed, my wife is doing her stuff and I know I have at least an hour to get something done. As my wife and I are in the same room we chat a little but fortunately she knows when I say hang on a minute that I'm on with a tricky bit !!!
Saying that, I'm not overly pleased if I get disturbed to the point I have to stop completely.

Haven't felt that way lately (insomnia does it for me though) normally i just tune everything out. The Lady Inquisitor has learned not to bother with communicating anything important while i am in the zone because i nod but nothing really registers.

There's always some noise around me, painting is how I become zen and cope with it. I'm angry all the other time instead.

However, if anyone touches my chair, they are in mortal peril.

That's looking outstanding already 10.
Gotta say I don't mind noise while painting, in fact I'll stick the radio on anyway even if no one is around. I paint on the dining table (or 'family does everything on it' table) and I do get the occasional person coming to sit down and 'jog' the entire table lol. Which depending on what I'm doing can be very annoying.
However I also sometimes play a guilt game and accuse the person of jogging me and ruining everything lol.
