Hobby exploits 2020 and onward
It’s official, I’m losing eyesight
Last month, like almost every last month of each quarter I focused on working on some small competition pieces. This time I had some Yu Jung on the table, so decided to do alternate pose of Cpt Qiang Gao from Defiance set and Liu Xing hacker from Invincible Army starter pack.
I was quite happy with my performance until I took the pictures seen bellow. They looked awful! Messy as hell. I use my magnifying glasses while painting, but even with them I can’t see all the spots and nasty streaks seen on the photos – it must be my eyes.
In the end I haven’t participated in any competition this quarter, at least I have two minis painted on very average level…
Still think they look ace mate! sometimes it’s better to work from further away. I sometimes deliberately blur my eyesight to better see volumes and the light on these is great!
Thank you mate.
I’m happy with colours and contrast, both in real life and on the photos, I was just shocked by the number of mistakes that I just couldn’t see in reality, before I took the pictures. I guess from now on I’ll introduce additional step to my painting – WIP photos, or maybe find the way to camera view on the big screen real-time while I’m paining.

Huzzza! Shame it was on that rare occasion I couldn’t watch. I saw the YT version anyway, please drop by in the future.
