But I've been in my own up-and-down while enjoying this hobby. Your sense of curiosity propel you to perfecting the work. Adding more layer and shade into the minis just to get that realistic looks. Times fly away and hours of working hours felt nothing. but there's time you felt uninspired, and your mind is not there to finish the job. You did the same batch repeatedly with the same color template, which turn into more of repetitive works. I've been in that phase, including right now, where I've been left my brush untouched, and my paint post dusty in the shelf. But actually I've been distracted since I've enjoyed playing Splinterlands for some time.
But I haven't declared that I'm done with this hobby. I just need some times to get my focus. Posting my article through Peakd have given me a small contentment of appreciation. And I though, I should have posted my works through Peakd with the hope this could reinvigorate my motivation to painting again. So in this posts, I will start lightly by showing my works setup for miniatures painting. It's more of an amateurs' setup, but I don't mind cause its a long journey and I just want to enjoy the process.
I'm using various number of brush from the thickest to the thinnest. The three brush on the left are Citadel standard brush, while the remaining brushes are cheap low-quality brushes, which I wouldn't mind if they break or goes brittle.
Water Pot are essential to thin the paint and allow enough flow into the detail of the miniatures. This is a water pot with holder rack which allow the wet brushes to dry.
Brushes needs to be rinsed and cleaned after some use. This is a good way to maintain brushes lifetime. Cleaning brushes also remove clogged paint and allow good flow of paint on the next usage.
I've got a pile of paint pot which at least encompass the 7 (seven) basic spectrum of colors. There are basic, layer, and shade paints. Other than standard Citadel paint, I also bought Army Painter paint. The Army Painter ones less costly than Citadel, but still I found Citadel paint have better adhesive on the miniatures surface.
Other than paint, there's also accessories to add environmental diorama to the miniatures. Such as this Wasteland Tuft from Army Painter. Miniatures Holder is also a good tools to help stable hold during painting.
Finally here's some of my miniatures collection from Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Descent 2nd Editions, which waited to be paint processed.
