So, I'm a little new to posting here...
But that's not to say I've haven't been around for a long time looking at every ones awesome art work!
I wanted to get a foot in here, mainly, for two reasons;
1. When you work around others who are better then yourself and you set a par at a higher level then you really comfortable with, you grow and learn. Plain and simple.
2. It's nice to be around people who like to do what you do.
That being said, I should introduce myself!
My names Adam and I'm a Music Education Major at Nyack College in Nyack, NY. My instrument is voice and have practicing for a while now. I got into Warhammer 40k at a place 7 min outside of my current college, 5 years before I started attending it! I just liked to play the game so painting never really came to mind. This may be due in part to none of my friends painting there models, so I didn't see the need; But, I was at the time perusing a future studio art degree as a Concept Artist, so it wasn't far off the beaten path. Just recently, my friend and I went out and grabbed some paint supplies and just started to paint some miniatures we had lying around and had a great time! I always understood what I had to when I painted; contrast, NMM, shading, lighting, texure. I just never tried to do it. The day after our painting session, I went and grabbed an old 'Nid Gaunt and gave him my undivided attention (mind you this is a month ago). Although, I didn't have the time to finish him I dare say he came out pretty good! I'm impressed with myself!
So, now it's come to the point where I want to do this more often and get a little serious about it. With Christmas on it's way, and still under the financial umbrella of my parents, I asked for some painting supplies! You have NO CLUE how excited I am! Heres some of the things I'm asking for...
---Plasticard Variety Pack: 9 Pieces
---Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Miniatures Brush #000 (I have a 0,1,3, and a 5 brush already lying around)
---Vallejo Game Color Range Box Set
---Army Painter Kneadatite Green Stuff - 8" Strip x2
---MASTER AIRBRUSH MODEL G23 SPECIFICATIONS: Dual-Action
I'm so excited!
Do you guys think this is a good start? I have some plans set up for a work station down in the basement and install some indoor flood lights.
God bless!
Adam
