Thank you very much and for watching TWO videos of mine! Definitely have a lot of work to grow the channel but kind words like yours really mean a lot.
Subbed for the axe, stayed for the puppetry. 10/10 would watch again ... And don't stress, this content is outstanding and if you keep at it, I have no doubt your channel will grow! Thanks for sharing.

Hey Jeff, thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the puppets haha. Nice looking golden on your profile pic btw!
If I hadn't seen you paint Karlach, I would have thought that you had bought her like that or something. It sure looks like she just stepped out of BG3. Amazing.

Both your Malenia and your Karlach look absolutely amazing. I was already very impressed by the way you paint metal, but then you went and did that gorgeous damascus pattern. Hell yeah! And seriously, kudos to you for donating half of your pledges to charity like that, too. Looking forward to more videos from you! Keep up the amazing work! Your videos are a real treat to watch.

Karlach is my favourite character from Baldur’s Gate. I’ve been tempted to try painting a bust of her lately and seeing how you went about doing it really helped. Great non-metallic metal technique! Look forward to seeing more! Subbed!

Also the black templar you showed in your last video is GOATED. I just participated in my first small painting tournament in a local game shop and I loved it ! I've been doing the hobby for a year and a half now and I'm always on the lookout for cool channels to watch. And yours definately stand out to me ! I'm hyped for the melenia NMM video ! Don't forget to take care of yourself, the projects you tackle looks daunting to me lol.

Midway through projects I'll look at my work and get terribly frustrated when things don't turn out the way I want them to. I hope the video serves only as positive inspiration. I believe in you! I know we're separated by the internet but I am truly rooting for your artistic journey. I know it sounds corny but if you have a desire in your heart to improve it will happen, seriously. -Jlee

Appreciate it! Still learning how much detail I should go into for each step so this is great feedback.
I haven’t even played the game (don’t own something capable of running it) but I’ve seen stuff from it. Karlach has such a cool design and seems like a really interesting character. Can’t decide if your model makes me want to bite the bullet and play the game or buy my own model and attempt to give it half as good a paint job (even though I’ll probably fail). Awesome work dude.

I genuinely hope you get a chance to play it! Definitely the best game I played in 2023. As for painting highly recommend you give it a try. This was the first time I'd ever painted something at this scale (I usually do warhammer minis) and the larger size was an absolute blast.

@@jleefishstudios hoping to soon be at a place where my finances let me buy a PS5 for basically the sole reason to play BG3. Until then I’ve started watching some of the voice actor streaming their play through a which has been fun. How’d you find painting the larger scale? Largest scale I’ve painted so far was MCP (slightly bigger then warhammer) and largest model is partway through a AAT for Star Wars legion? I can’t decide if the larger details would make it easier or would get more stressed about smooth blends (not a strong point of my skills).

@@finlayames6216 hope the ps5 happens soon! When you get one highly recommend playing Persona 5 if you haven't already, it's literally my favorite of all time. The larger scale was extremely fun. I was really pleased that the fundamentals I have from painting small minis translated to the larger size. If anything, the increased scale made blending easier as there was more room to work with and it was easier to see where transitions begin/end.
Great freaking video! Love the model!

Holy cow dude! That Damascus steel process took some seriously steady hands. Do you have any advice for someone who's hands get a little shaky when doing details? I can't tell how much of it is mental and/or physical.

Thank you! Some tips on freehanding lines (in no particular order) 1. Constantly twisting your brush into a fine point. I painted about 1-2 cm at a time then retwisted the tip. This made it go really slowly but helped with consistency. 2. Using a bit more water than I normally would in the paint mix. You don't want so much that it will pool, but enough water to keep each stroke flowing smoothly. 3. Bracing my hand against the model for stability. 4. I didn't do it on camera but I went back in with the dark base color and covered up any mistakes/made some of the lines more thin
