I don't see how you can get better. He must be joking. No, but seriously, what can be done to improve that?

Re: WH40k discussion I never take time into account.
But I suppose he didn't mean that, right?

Re: WH40k discussion Heh, thanks. But nah, I'm not that good yet. My blending skills, for example, are nonexistent, so I cover it all up with double-washed drybrushes. Plus, yeah, I'm p damn slow at painting, mostly because I tend to keep adding new layers to my basecoat until it's as solid as it gets.

Re: Thinkin' about buying some Warhammer 40k models Areku, considering you started like this: Areku wrote: Boy oh boy, I do suck at this. However, I can't help but feel kind of proud. Should I go see a doctor or something? And then you paint like this: Areku wrote: Slowly, slowly getting better. How many models did you paint in between? Can you take pics of your models to see your evolution?

Re: WH40k discussion That's why Areku is my IRC mentor and motivator.
He'll guide me to great things.

Re: WH40k discussion This oughta be my... eighteenth model, I think. Wasn't joking when I said I'm a slow painter.
And I suppose I can take a pic of all my models side by side, if you want me to. Will be back in a jiffy.
Also heh, please, I'm not that good. I just take pictures right.

Re: WH40k discussion Okay, here are all of the models I could find. Please excuse the terribly sloppy image quality, my camera is not cooperating and I'm a bit short on time.
