Popular Post edz16 Posted January 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) It was exactly one year ago today that I walked into PAX South here in San Antonio intent on trying out miniature painting for the first time. I had bucket loads of bones miniatures from the kickstarters and told myself I better figure out if I really was going to do anything with them or not. My sole intent of going to PAX that Friday last year in January was to do the Reaper paint and take. I painted my first miniature and knew I was hooked. I bought a Bones learn to paint kit and now here I am one year later. I still have that first miniature and just finished one today. Here is the comparison. Reaper Bones 77079: Isabeau Laroche, Female Paladin - First miniature I ever painted. Here she is. Reaper Bones 77091: Nienna, Female Elf Ranger - Just finished her today exactly one year ago from that first paint and take. I'm looking forward to another year of getting better!

FluidFire Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Yeah, you've progressed quite a lot! Love the base, the robe, the color selections. Very, very nice. Congrats on sticking through and doing good things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Progress has been made. Well done ! Most important thing, did you have fun while doing this? If yes..then you're doing it right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetman! Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think the correct line is "Did you have fun doing it? Then you're not doing it wrong" It's a hobby(or obsession, more likely). As long as we enjoy it, no matter the result, how can it be wrong? So, are you getting another Paladin to see what you can do with it now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mierot Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 This is exactly why I believe it is good to keep your first paint around to see how far you've come. Thank you for sharing! Isabeau is not bad for a first paint job. Nienna shows what practice can do! Great job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citrine Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 You are doing great! The first mini is not bad for a first, and you have made great progress in a year! Just remember to have fun, this is a hobby after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I do know someone who after long years of painting hundreds of miniature never attained the quality of your first attempt. However, the difference one year has made is REMARKABLE. Your latest creation is BEAUTIFULLY painted & based with a FINE choice of colors. OUTSTANDING WORK! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
