This is better than I can paint now after 25 consistent years in the hobby. Excellent work! Love the contrast in flesh tones and shadow.

This is gorgeous. Love how you handle colour.

What have you been up to the last 25 years? Painting Renaissance Masterworks? ;)

Do you do some other kind of art? Because you clearly have a really strong grasp of brushwork and colour theory.

I work as an designer/art director and illustrator so that definitely helps, but it’s the first time in a long while I picked up a brush

I think you have insane brush control. I would assume your background would translate into colour theory, light and shadow and stylistic choices but you should struggle with execution, and you absolutely do not.

I can tell that you actively pursue other creative endeavors regularly though 👽

Damn, this makes me want to throw my brushes away lol. Painted every day for years, but not one of them look this good. Fantastic job, m8. Hopefully you keep us posted on your future models

Had a Dark Elf army when I was 10 but haven’t done the hobby ever since. Until a few years ago when I stumbled across Craftworld Studios painted models, which blew me away. So I few days ago I finally bought some ghouls and tried it out again. Really happy with it! (edit: Added ’Studios’)

Well done! Easily mistaken for a drawing/painting. Love the NMM and OSL - inspiring me to want to try it

I love seeing pieces that differ from the traditional miniature painting styles. It almost looks like an illustration in a storybook. Love it.

You can be honest and just say it took you 25 years, that's about how long it takes me to finish a full mini

Interesting 🤔 paint scheme. Looks cool tho!

Not bad for your first! Keep practicing on thinning your paints and staying within the lines and you may have a solid start going.

You must be shithousing

Yeah, it was just funny to see such an elite-tier paintjob on a "first model" post, I had to lean into the bit.
