    Never knew I liked painting, until I tried painting minis. Found I’ve got a knack for it and it’s really enjoyable and I love making something I get to show off. Honestly I’m terrible when I’m trying to accomplish something, and find I do my best work when I go in completely blind, no vision or forethought. It’s crazy. I enjoy projects I just wing so much more.

          Love it! Thats great! Minis are so fun to paint! I wish i could afford so many of them! Or a 3-d printer!

          I have a dragon I’ve been sitting on for a decade. I think its technically an ice dragon, i started painting it like a nature dragon, but never did much with it cuz it never felt right.

          Maybe i’ll do it. Maybe I’ll paint the epic love scene on my table I’ve been toying with… life is short and why not?

          Got any more work you wanna inspire me with? 🥹😜

            Yeah, I have plenty of unfinished projects as well. Started painting a set of Dune Imperium minis that still remain unfinished 2 years later.

            I’m better with gifts I can put a deadline to
