Bought a mini from temu, didn't think too much of it until I was painting the details. Things seemed just a little off. Details didn't seem quite right, in a way that I could not justify a human would do. I got a damned AI - generated miniature. Stopped working on it but now feel demotivated..

Had a question for the minipainters out there. Is this pattern common: My effort feels like 70/30 base painting to detail/highlight painting. After 70%+ of my time i have an ugly model nobody would pay attention to. With relatively little effort beyond that I get non-painters impressed.

Working on Commander Farsight from #wh40k. I wanted to give him some extra attention so I am doing sub-assemblies (not something I usually bother with). I think I'm just about done with the torso. Not happy with the accents on the armpit hexagons, I'll black those out. #tau #miniatures #wip

Commander Farsight's mech torso. Done in mostly red with black accent parts. Head is white with black accents. A few details are picked out in metallic bronze.

Bust of Granny Weatherwax I painted.
