Let them be dumb enough to leave NATO and declare war on Canada. If we could just burn this govt to the ground and start from scratch that would be great and exactly what Jefferson wanted to do once a generation regarding the constitution

I’m betting #2 is the cost of being told you have nothing or “we can’t do anything for you please pay your $50 copay now”

My #Immigrants and #FirstNations people aren’t showing up anymore. And they are all replaced by #Fascists and #MAGAts and #ChristianNationalists. WTH is going on? I have never seen so many antichrist people on my FYP.
Hoping @tizzyent.bsky.social or @underthedesknews.bsky.social know what’s up?

They can also post the article that they probably wrote on the topic like every other news outlet instead of sensationalizing the headline

Looks magical

Yeah the cape is actually a navy blue and the gold is called “Aztec gold” from red apple acrylics. It isn’t made for minis specifically so it already has less pigment so I used water to really thin it out. Gives it the gold sheen

For that glittery gold I just really watered down some gold paint until it was more water than paint and did several thin coats. I did the same with white and yellow paints for the head, shoulder, and foot clouds and the magic coming from the hand.

The only thing I recommend since clear plastic minis have gained popularity or have clear pieces on them, is to use masking tap to cover the clear plastic or use a rubber balloon to cover it that’s what I did for this cloud giant’s head and hand. I painted on clear primer on the plastic pieces

And the priming will help with that too. I have a black spray paint primer and a white spray paint primer and I spray the whole mini black then white from just the top down view which tells me where darker colors might look better on the mini and the primer often changes the shade of paint anyway

Purple wash on the bard pants also makes them look like they are in shadow due to the coat handing down a bit over the legs

Tops of the arms light wash dark wash on the under sides. With the hat I would actually shade it all one tone (depending on how melanated your character is) and let the hat do the work for you as it creates a natural shadow

A lot of washes are good for blending and smoothing out the paint too as it hides brush strokes which I find are hardest to hide on faces. So a dash of purple would be fine on the drow. For the bard dark washes on the layers closest to the skin and lighter washes on the outermost gear and layers

Pre-wash not preach lol

Green and even lighter green. But it makes it really pop and covers a multitude of sins like small white spots I missed or thing paint spots.

For a dragon, for example I use the light tone on the top of the dragon and a dark tone for under the dragon. The left is preach the right is post wash. The belly scales are a darker shader. I used an army shader on the tops and a dark green shader which blended the different colors gold, light

The tones depend on what you want it to look like. A good technique to start is when you prime your mini (and you should always prime) use black primer to cover the mini, then spray white primer just from above the mini. This will show through your paint layers as if the mini was standing in light.

My healthiest character is Zed Valkan. None of his family is deceased. He lives with two of his older siblings and goes to therapy. He runs a free clinic for homeless folks in an urban setting. His best friend is his dog. Who are your healthy characters?

Looks pretty good. My only recommendation is washes. Some shaders or washes will really make the figure pop

Absolutely. Janeway or no way. Caf is super important and in my homebrew setting they even had a chain of Caf that my players created with a story point.
