Miniature Mondays: Yu Jing: Ninja with Tactical Bow (Finished)
Yu Jing: Ninja with Tactical Bow (Finished)
This was a very frustrating model to paint. The model looked great, I'm just not skilled enough to bring it to life the way I wanted to. I'm not down, it gives me more motivation to learn new skills and paint more!
Skills I need to work on: edge highlighting, blending and working with black. As you can tell, my edge highlights need a lot of work. I tried to employ several techniques but they didn't come out great. My brushes were not co-operating with me and the paint kept getting everywhere. I need to work on brush control. I also need to work on paint consistency. It could be why the paint was getting everywhere.
I also need to work on the basing. I went back and forth between clean and dirty and couldn't figure it out. The urban theme is also something new for me. The base didn't come out as well as I would have liked, it's going to be another adjustment.

This model was extremely humbling. After feeling good about my last few models that I painted, this one kicks me in the teeth. The final product is not what I wanted, but I will get better. It's going to be a long road. Check out the pictures below.
Lift Heavy and Level Up!
ABOUTME
Hello, my name is Nick and I'm from Guam. I'm an avid gamer and functional fitness exerciser. I'm not great at either but I do my best. I would describe myself as a huge nerd since I love most things you would find in typical nerd culture. I started doing CrossFit at CrossFit Gof Metgot in 2013 as a way to get my weight under control. I decided to change my exercise habits to lose that excess weight and be more fit. Hopefully my story inspires people to try out CrossFit.
