Chest of Colors forum

... JustanotherArtist

Im 23 and live in germany.
Im painting models since 7 years, since 1 1/2 on a "high" level and im here, coz im sick of comments like: OMG, your GODLIKE and these bullsh...

I know im not bad, but i also know im miles aways from beeing an expert and i guess ill get a correct rating in this forum and last but not least im allways on the hunt for new inspirations and "painting-skill".

Cheers, for a nice time in this forum

P.S.: This forum is completly different from all others i know. Need to get fit with all the "strang" and (for me) hidden features here

lol

I feel like a newbie, when i have a look at some of ana´s minis, for example
Just dislike (dislike is too much/harsh but my english ... ) the lifeless/glaze style, but they´re amazing anyway.
My grandpa told me tin models have a soul, or better when you paint them, you´ll give them one, if you´re "good". Dang, i need more words good is totally wrong. Whatever, what i want to say is: i allways try to give my "tins"
a soul.
"Ok, enough for now, much to learn there is, young padawan" *aaahhh the voice again*

See ya arround and thanks for the friendly welcome

What hidden features?!

Welcome, enjoy your stay!:)

Hello JustanotherArtist

I am glad you like our little place. Feel at home here, and I hope you will stay with us for some time. I am sorry I ain't as active as I used to be, but the beginning of the year means much work to me at my fulltime job, and the fact I am upgrading the site now keeps me a bit busy, too.

OTOH you should have some new features soon, or the oldies-but-goodies working again.
Secret features you say? Hah, there must be many But honestly speaking you don't need them all to navigate the site and to spend time in our little community. If you need any help, I believe that any of the mods is experienced enough to help you. They are all hardcore members of our little group And you can always contact me if you don't mind waiting for the answer

As for giving minis souls, I believe you are right. I also try to give my miniatures some souls, some lives. I can't say I always succeed. But I agree that technical abilities are not all, you also need to feel that what you do. Well, I think it's what is called 'style'... Your way of expressing what the mini is in your opinion - even if you're minis are a bit lacking in their technical perfection, they can have the 'thing' which makes them cool.

As for Ana's minis - I wonder if you're right with her glaze style. You may be... If you only told us more. Or maybe she could explain if she really glazes her minis
