I wouldn't mind it so much if it wasn't such a big part of their personality. It's like everyone who is into it it's their Special Interest. I like things like fantasy football and vegetable gardening but I wouldn't saunter into a non-relevant place and constantly go on about it with people that don't share the interest. It's worse when there's a sexual element to it too. If this is a kink to you then WHY ARE YOU CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT IT IN PUBLIC including in places where there are minors? Just NO. It's actually fine for a community to be sex-positive but do not overshare and be in other (uninterested!) people's faces about this if that's what it means to you. Just.... Eugh.

I maintain that the problem with furry is that of simple oversharing. We don't all need to know how SUPER FURRY OwO OMG LOLRANDOM you are constantly. You don't need your phone unlock screen to be Krystal the fox with her boobs out. You don't need to cover yourself in tails or ear headbands or other tacky shite in public. You don't need some smiling furry character in that soulless and drab Disney-Anime fusion art style to be your display picture everywhere online, with an accompanying furry name. You don't need to always be the "anthro" character in everything. You don't need to obsess over the character in a franchise that's a talking animal. It's not just cringe, guys. It's boring and exhausting and it makes your fandom look shallow and childish. If they just treated it as some random interest they have and keep it to themselves with people that are not interested or aren't involved I wouldn't really have a problem with furries but this oversharing and this need to be seen as SO FURRY is such a common problem with them. Seriously, if some guy had furry as an interest but was otherwise an alright geeky dude who doesn't go on about it to my disintested ear I'd happily sit around a table with him and have a pint and a laugh, but I'm sorry they just don't ever seem to be like this.

Selection bias. You don't see the ones who keep it private because they're private about it.

If I was skilled enough with an airbrush to use it for an entire model I would. I bought an expensive airbrush kit thinking it would be cheat codes to amazing paint jobs. Nope. It’s own skill that takes time.

I don't have a "pile of shame" because I just don't consider it a job. It's a hobby, if I don't do it for a few months, oh well, I'm doing other hobbies or handling real problems. I've been in this hobby for about 12 years now, I've gone like 5 of that painting maybe 3 minis a year, another year I did 2 full 2k armies for 40k. Be kind to yourself, friends.

Pile Of Potential!

I use an airbrush for Priming, Zenithal Highlights and Basecoating Big models. Then the brush comes out.

The people at GW who think “talking about your hobby [within reason]” is going to do anything but encourage people to buy more are delusional and lack actual sales skills

I was literally airbrushing a base coat when you were doing that rant and was giggling, idk why people got mad lol

North, I partly agree on the airbrush thing. With airbrushes, they really help with glow effects and rough blending of colours (something that I cannot do myself to save my life) while also giving you the benefit of having a smooth and consistent surface of a colour that greatly contrast’s its base colour. Believe me, I don’t want to apply 5 base coats of white onto a black primed model and then have to strip it because there’s texture on it now. I will however agree on the showing off part. Don’t lie about how you did your models because you just look silly. Similar example, I’m one to buy painted models off eBay, especially if it’s a one off thing like a knight but I will not for a second day that it’s my paint job. It’s simply not and I don’t want to be caught out when someone asks me how to do a technique on the model I have no experience in. To sum it up, the airbrush is a great tool for hobbyists to get a quick effect that looks good on their models because at the end of the day, it’s their models. But you should not show it off as brushwork.

Hey North, could you gather a bit more varied footage for the videos? Bloody love them, and yes it's only background, but I like to watch a listen sometimes and I'm starting to know which tile you're moving too haha Either way I'll still be watching. Just a small request and thank you for your videos.

Ive only been back into warhammer and painting for about 2 months. But ive been a digital artist for over 20 years. So i have a similar issue as the first guy. Nobody believes im new Edit: for clarification last time i was into warhammer was the beginning of 6th edition and my models looked horrible (tau farsight)

To be honest i always wondered why those left leaning people adore Harry Potter so much. From watching the movie that sorcerer community look like an (almost fachist) regime to me. I mean they look down on regular people, have a slur for them. Even when non magic people help them with all their efforts, they get mindwiped as a thanks.

As a Dave the reputations do make me chuckle 😁 The problem is Half are good people, Half not so much...... I was lucky enough to be introduced to the hobby by my dad too, back with first edition space hulk. Keep up the great vids 👍

~37:00 In medieval times and before, to assume that a black person is "burned by the sun" is just basic phenomenological logic: People knew you get a tan when you work outside all the time, your skin would darken - hence nobility being associated with palest skintones, not just soft hands (and why Snowwhite cannot have a tan or dark skin colour to begin with, let alone being born of her queen (royalty) mother's wish for a child with skin white as snow, but I digress). People were aware that the sun darkened your skin, and thus the simplistic logical conclusion that "the sun must have burned him" is completely logical, if ill-phrased. The contemplation that the black man must come from a place where the sun is scorching(!) is correct too. People didn't know the biology behind it, or whether that darker skin is actual protection against the sun, but the basic ideas weren't far off at all.

If my first models turn out like that I was be very proud 💯❤️🤖🫡

Can confirm the “Zen” state is real as I was painting my Khorne Berserkers. Never had cleaner details until then

To be fair I have only used an airbrush a few times and they are a little finnicky to get working but ill say one thing they are just as importent as brush work to get good with you want to work with one, It is just a unique skill when it comes to painting, I kn0w I can paint to a above average standard at times with brush work but I am no way near golden demon level air brush work is just as vailid as every thing else, yes you can do some pretty cook object source lighting very quickly But You can do that with a brush just as easyily if you have just tried a few times. With all things with paiting itsj ust pratice And not painting at a army level but inetnionaly picking models to practice with. Just be be proud of others trying out new techniques, Not trying to be arsy or any thing but Some peop,e use oils and ide see that in some ways more cheaty than a air brush for weathing but even then its a unique technique that requires some know how on how to pull off well. love the content keep it ocming

One of the things I find so interesting about painting miniatures is the wide variety of materials/techniques that can be applied. I don’t see any of them as ‘cheating’, but just different approaches. Experience and intentional practice can enhance the possibilities of basically any material or approach.

I do find the Reddit style "this is my first model, is this good enough to play with? C&C please teehee" and a picture of some stunningly gorgeously painted model absolutely ridiculous Absolutely cringe, stop it, just ask for C&C without trying to farm extra karma and engagement by lying about it being your first model. It might happen very occasionally if someone from an art background gets into miniature painting, but the sheer regularity of it makes me extremely leery of all of them

Yeah, seems she was more flustered than embarressed. The granddad was certainly embarressed for the kid being utterly tactless.

An event? In Donny? When I'm in Sheffield? WITH FREE TEA?? Book me in, sir.

Proper airbrushing is a skill. On the flip side, if you just took your base color with a standard brush and slapped it on sloppily and called it talent, you would also be lying. Skillful airbrushing is absolutely Artistry though, it depends on your effort.

The vultures on the Chaos knight is a nice touch ! ! !

With the airbrush comments...I would call myself a good painter, but do not judge me on my warhammer army. I can spend days painting a mini but 20 near identical models for an army, that is when I go all out on the airbrush and oils. Later steps will involce pushing highlights but that is about it. OOOh how about a painting critique by the excile some time that could be fun.

"Hi, how are you, do you play our games?" ;) stock welcome from 1997

holy shit guy! :D you can tell you aren't an artist XD If you can paint a model 100% with an airbrush, that's pretty impressive.

as someone who bought an airbrush to save time.... Honestly? Its only good for large area's + base coats or your totally loosing details.

Here is a fun fact for ya, North. Since you were talking about racism and history, do you know where and when the first recorded use of the N word was? It was in Ancient Rome where the latin word "Niger" pronounced as N-eye-ger and was simply a person of African or Carribean decent. Simon, in Acts chapter 13 of the Bible is known as a Niger by the romans and was one of the two prophets that lead the Church of Antioch. They associated his skin color with his faith and in turn, the word simply meant "black christian." It didn't have a negative conotation at first. But, sadly, as humans are...later generations took this simple descriptive word and made it evil. By the 1400s, it had become the word we know today. How far we have fallen.

You know how North has to pause for tea? 25:47 I am rolling a cigarette before proceeding further. Brace for impact... Edit: GW is run by a malfunctioning computer of the ilk one finds in OG Star Trek controlling a primative civilization.

Have you seen you can buy Yorkshire tea Xbox controllers?

Can tell you man, you’re airbrushing wrong. Zen can be achieved, but it takes a bit of practice and a little bit of learning the techniques. You can sit there airbrushing for hours if you mask off your models properly. I recommend you looking into it a bit more. Throw away your pride and try it. You might like it.

39:30 Oh yeah, the whole joke about the Rowling-thing is not merely a "she's a person of her time", because as you correctly identified, this is about politics, which in the end means, "not reality", but "beliefs, ideas, opinions." It could be religious complaints just as well, because the demands of the political activists don't even make sense. I have that stupid condition by the way, the one they make a kerfuffle about. It doesn't work at all as the activists say, or all those anti-aesthetic spotlight seeking people you see say, but there's 100-1000 more of those than of us. This whole topic has not been about science, biology, neurology, etc for a very long time. It has only been about the warped fanfiction of the activists/ideologues, and that means: Not us. I side with Rowling.

Little bit of context for the furry community (im one myself): genuinely like 90% of us just like art / making art, and dressing up since its fun. The other 10% is the more questionable, nsfw side of the community, the other 10% are somewhat toxic / gate keepers, and the other 10% is bad at maths. Wait... On top of this, the furry community is basically the entire global IT department, a solid portion of the worlds military, and there is a surprising amount of us who work in the nuclear field of science, and science in general. So we kind of control the world already XD

You should think about do a quick listen to your video before you post it, a quick edit to cut out of some of the hum-de-hum looking for files noises and wasted time re-iterating the same point 3 times. A little effort to make a higher production quality could put you closer to the same level of other people doing this kind of content.

I'd like to maybe correct the sentence you said "You're a trans woman, she's a woman, you are both women". The term you might've been looking for is cis woman, as it's the opposite of veing trans. Otherwise it makes no real sense. If both are women then cis women and trans women don't have a distinction, making J. K a trans woman as well.
