Heads up and a Little Gift!
Hello guys!In the last months I've been working and experimenting even more than usual with oils, soooo I've invested in a proper drying box!!!About drying boxes and their benefits (protection from dust, speeding up the exsiccation, matting effect), if you have been here for a while you probably remember this video, that soon after I turned to Unlisted because I was embarrassed by my own craftsmanship, lol (it's still hidden and of course dated, so be gentle lololol) --> https://youtu.be/Qi5nIwvgzhwWe learned that products disappear...
REAL TIME is back!!!
Did you miss these?!? ๐I certainly missed working on them!!!Feel free to ask question, or if you have any doubts, ask for extra details; as always the theory is all in the YT video, this is just "execution", but we are all at different points of our painting journey and with the crazy average level of this community I definitely started to give a few things for granted ๐ Enjoy!
The Countdown Is On!
Sorry for keeping you waiting ๐ 4 hours, no gimmicks, a classic art driven workflow and a lot of fun! + TMM & NMM on the same model?!?See you at the premiere๐ !!! Drop a LIKE and share it with the world ๐
NEW VIDEO TOMORROW!!!
NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO coming tomorrow!!! 4 hours, no gimmicks, and a bunch of fun ๐ I'm back baby ๐Stay tunedโถ๏ธ https://www.youtube.com/MarcoFrisoniNJM/videos
The mini is done so... NEW VIDEO NEXT WEEK!!!
Ready for the NEW SEASON ๐๐๐?(Teasing with the low resolution ๐)Man, I really missed having proper, uninterrupted, quality painting time!
Working on Variety!
So you can't say I never do mechs ๐! Plus... I couldn't skip a restyling of the classic Dom... ๐๐๐The idea is to paint it like a big miniature in the painterly, cinematic style of the boxart ๐
Back to the Studio!!!
Officially back to the painting table after an amazing SMC and another super instructive round of judging ๐!I'm so happy to have met so many of you guys in Eindhoven!I know that the competition system can be intimidating, a rollercoaster of emotions and quite stressful at the beginning (we need to talk more openly and in depth about this aspect... Let me elaborate on how to do it properly...), but I'm super happy to see a bunch of new painters engaging with the real life painting shows! And now that I can finally sit still for a mome...
See You There!!!
On my way to Eindhoven for SMC!!!I have the honour to judge again the "Under 40mm" category: come to say hi and ask for feedback! I'll be around the models the whole time ๐!After this, I'll be back to regular painting and making videos, I promise ๐๐๐; this is the last (disruptive ๐ ) trip of the year and I actually did quite a lot of work in the short time between the return from LVO and this weekend ๐...See you there!!! ๐
Live from Vegas!!!
I'm finalising the preparation for Vegas, and since the next few days we'll probably (for sure๐ ) be a crazy mess, I thought to drop this here in advance!GW asked me to paint live during their Twitch stream at LVO ๐, so Sunday 5th, 16:30-19:30 Las Vegas time (GMT-7)you'll find me on the official Warhammer Twitch! -> https://www.twitch.tv/warhammerCome to say HI!!! ๐And if you are physically there, you'll also find me painting at the Verko's Vault booth Friday morning ๐๐๐See you there!!!
What I'm Up To ๐
HELLO GUYS!!!How are you?!? ๐ Super sorry for the recent lack of updates!!!I'm officially back from another long trip to the US for the amazing NOVAOpen, ready to tackle the autumn and to close and recontextualise for you this crazy crazy summer!Long story short... We are preparing to move to Australia ๐ and the irregular posting rhythm of these last few months is mostly due to the extra toll of energy, focus and trips needed to finalise this big life project! Plus a few super interesting top secret plans more related to minis and pai...
