Rustwing is finished! My first large model, so pretty happy with the result.

I took an almost 3 years break from painting after my father passed away. For some reason I linked my hobby with my father's memory, so it became kinda depressing.

Good news are, I'm back into it (I would like to thank the lockdown for that).

The idea of the blood, growths etc. comes from the horror film Cabin Fever.

I hope you like it!

And remember, never ever feel bad for dropping a hobby, whatever the reason. It should be something to enjoy. I felt bad for months just because of how expensive the paints, models etc were, so I was feeling almost obligated to use them.

Give yourself a break. You may go back to it or not,it doesn't really matter, as far as you enjoyed it while the passion lasted.

Stay safe Imgur, don't let papa Nurgle catch you!

Hear hear!

If I finally pull the trigger and order a couple hero forge minis, how much you want to paint them?

Thanks for the confidence in my painting skills! I'm afraid I have a long way to go before I even think about doing commissions.

Have you checked Fiverr? There are some amazing painters in there charging almost nothing for their services!

No, but Fiverr is one of those things I've long meant to look into. Thanks for reminding me.
