Figmentia.

I was up 'til 2:40 AM painting miniatures, just because I lost track of time. I just love doing it so much, and I get so focused on getting the details just right. Garrett's been giving me lots of minis to practice on, and once I'm done with his minis, Dennis has a ton already queued up for me. I don't mind, though. As I said, I love it. Stil working on getting my flesh tones right, and learning how much to thin the paints and do multiple layers. My skin tones still get a bit rough and/or chalky, but I think thinning the paint out a bit next time will fix that. Of course, this isn't science, it's art, and everyone has slightly different ways of doing it, so it's just a matter of finding a way that works for me.

And I'm surprised that there's no LiveJournal community for mini-painters. I may have to fix that some time.
