Hi
wip means \"Work In Progress\"

 

[Antnol]

WIP stands for Work In Progress. It is a miniature that has been started but not finished. People generally post WIPs to show others what they have been working on and/or to get feedback so they can change anything on the mini before continuing on the mini. If you would like any more examples I have a desk full of these that I could show you lol.

WIP =Work In Progress the key symptom of someone, predominantly male, suffering from Pigmentia(tm) a common psychological condition typified by and allied to \"Magpie Syndrome\", often refered to as \"Oh look a bright new shiney.........\"
and Attention Span Deficit, \"I must paint this dark elf a rich Pur.........Oh look a Butterfly, ....I need a cup of tea, .........where\'d I put my M&M\'s\".

Sadly this condition has no known cure, sufferers either live with it, or if afflicted pre-teenage often spontaniously enters a remissive state. (Often associated with teenage Female influence/associations).
However long term sufferers have a benefit in that they will live forever as a painter cannot die until his(or her) last mini is painted.

You got that spot on, I\'ve just finished my first mini in 6 months

6 months? Yeah... me too Since I moved (in with my GF) I\'ve lost my ability to leave painting stuff all over the dinner table, and the light there isn\'t as good. I really need to figure this out. I just seem to... not paint these days But at least I\'ve been able to curb my mini purchases in the meantime

Have you bugged my flat DR? lol

 

[lizcam]

With me it\'s more \"must get this pain.....Mom can you give me a ride to the mall?\" or \"Let\'s prep this.....ooo, a new Sims2 expansion pack! Let\'s see if.....might as well check the boards\" End result is the same.

How is it that you can see all the way over the pond, across the US and into my mind??

Let\'s not forget the wonderful effect that these forums have on not finishing a project.

\"I need motivation, I\'m gonna check out CMON.\"

(Two hours later)

\"Hmm, dinner?\"

You forgot to add: \"after dinner, go back to CMON (rather than dip a brush)\" lol
