I discovered the Comic Artist Pro Secrets when the terrible Star Wars: The Last Jedi was making everyone upset. He is funny! That's about when I discovered Salty Cracker's channel too. Incoherent rambling is fun. I just record videos as-is, with incoherent rambling and the occasional toilet flush in the background since the restroom is right next to my hobby room. I like to think of it as "hanging out." Sailor Moon was released in English when I was in college, and my friends and I watched it because, HOLY CRAP! Anime is on TV again! It had been so long. Plus, pretty girls, etc. It was a guilty pleasure. Then the anime popularity exploded. Just prior to that, I was the only anime fan in my high school, wearing Urusei Yatsura and Macross T-shirts. The way you hand-paint these figures is amazing, with no noticeable brush strokes. Too bad about the mask, but your figure turned out nicely. That's quite an interesting pose, too! I have some garage kits by Bome, as well as have several of his pre-painted PVC figures still in the blister packaging, hung on my wall. He's a master sculptor, but he is known for very boring poses. This Sailor V has a rather dynamic pose, and looks interesting. I've uploaded a couple of Nadia videos this past week, of those sofubi figures I am finally making progress on after so many years being shelf queens in my closet. I hope to finish them by the end of the year.
Hi! Thank you! It does take a lot of patience to paint them by hand without the brushstrokes. At my beginnings, I was told I should thin the paint to a milky, yoghurty consistency and it will be allright to paint it with a brush. The downside is that it does not look as pretty or professional as done with airbrush, but maybe I'll learn that too someday. In my first attempts, I was trying to do my commentary "on the fly" but despite using English every day at work, it's actually my third language and words don't come as natural and easy as I would love them to be. So I mostly script my thoughts while editing a footages. I was lucky with this video, because after I recorded my voice, one of my neighbours started to drill the wall SO HARD that I couldn't even hear my thoughts. I was lucky to finish the recording before that. Thank you for letting me know about your new videos, I'll head to your channel to check them out! :) Sailor Moon (along with Dragon Ball) definitely contributed to the boom of anime in TV here in Europe too. We were so happy to watch them on all the German, Italian or French channels, and many of the anime kids of my generation learnt foreign languages thanks to all of these series. Before that, it was really hard to come by official releases: laserdiscs were not really a thing here, VHS and DVD-s had those pesky region codes and were not playing on our devices, etc. So whatever we could miraculously download from the internet in terrible quality, we truly treasured. That's my main problem with today's shows: almost hours or days after airing it on TV, the episodes are available online, subbed, without andy quality filtering, allowing all the filth and terrible shows to the market. I could barely name anything from today's line-up I'd want to watch. Oh, and I adore uncle Ethan. :) I enjoy Trashcast so much, I love the humor, roasting, the puppet shows XD. And of course, I admire his drawing and inking skills, so much to learn from this man.
@@jinjupaints The only recent anime I have enjoyed was Spy Family, although my daughter and I did get bored with it. I really liked the Urusei Yatsura reboot, and now there is a Ranma 1/2 reboot on Netflix (which I do not have). When you learn how to use an airbrush, you just have to practice on scrap plastic. Thinning the paint to the consistency of milk for airbrushing eventually becomes a habit, and it comes naturally. What is your first language, by the way? I cannot tell from your accent.

I'm Hungarian.
Let's say your RUclips cover's font and the color of background is not easy to read
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to improve that for later videos.
