Nice work, the painting looks great. Too bad the figures themselves are not up to today's standards as far as sculpting and proportions but you turned a sows ear into a silk purse! I see you used the old tea candle trick for the CA glue as well. As far as filming goes I guess you know now how hard it is to stay in focus and in frame but overall you did a fine job. Congrats m8!

Thank you so much, means a lot to me with that coming from you🙏 yes the figures weren't the easiest base to work with, but on the other hand I was very curious how they would turn out and what result I could reach with them. So even better if they turned out nice😊 filming this was very challenging too, it looks so easy and smooth when looking at your bust painting videos, but it really is hard work. I guess the crucial tip for me was using a cellphone, so thanks again for that.🙏😊 using a tea candle is still working, so no need to find new solutions 😉😁

You can also use retarder for thinning the paint if you want to blend in the paint into earlier applied layers, for shadows or highlights for example.

Thank you very much, really happy to read you like my video. For the rain effect, depending on how strong you want the effect to be, I would try it with coats of glossy varnish, building up in several layers until you are happy with it. Or for an even stronger effect, try a still water product. They look great, but are quite thick compared to paint, so apply it in thin layers.

Well it might be easier to paint, but gluing painted parts to a figure with super glue can be messy, and using plastic glue on unpainted parts is always better adhering. Also, it is no real problem painting the glued on parts, more a good opportunity to practice and train the brush hand, as far as I see it.👌😊
