The ever-present pit of "I must make every mini revolutionary!" It's a dangerous one! Thanks for the reminder that it really only matters if I'm happy with it.
You're totally right about letting those speed paints do their thing after they start drying. I've absolutely ruined things trying to "fix" them as they've started to cure. I always try to remember the advice of Cousin Eddie now - "... it's best to just let him finish"
Brush vs rattle can vs airbrush priming: 🤔 Airbrush gets to all crevices easier, without flooding the rest of the model. A compressor and cheap airbrush will do, if taking that path. 🤔 Rattle cans give a lot of thinner smell and excess spray (-> dust), and most paint boxes are not efficient enough to capture and/or filter all that, even if left running for longer duration. Works for one-off job, but may cost a lot in long run. 🤔 Brush is cheapest, but unlikely to be as uniform as airbrush or rattle can - and may require multiple layers. Fortunately, most paints dry to really layer, so it's not as easy to loose details as it seems while painting 😉 Top coats / varnishes, well, they are not always as matte (or satin) as can says. Thick layers may not be as translucent as one hopes for 🙄
I have seen you do the leafy cloak twice now, and both times, I think, WTF is she doing using that colour. Then I see the end result, and I remember to never question the witch or her chatty little familiar that talks while she is recording.

I need that reminder too occasionally!
I love all Lyla Mev's videos!
Thanks!
Thank you for guide of painting miniatures, here's a tip for the week. Enjoy your time at the con.
10:17 The cat has its eye on the skaven. They wouldn't like the plastic and paint. 🐈It's well painted to be eaten anyway.

My pile of shame has grown so large that I think the universe sent me this witch to remind me to just get it done.
I serve at the universe's behest.
@@LylaMev Merry meet and merry part, thanks for the inspo.
It's a rat goat demon cthulu!
I love that Greyseer!
Look at those gorgeous colors added to the model after someone had put on ugly brown as their starting color! He's so bright and vibrant!!
Hiiiiiiii!!
