Thank you gents for the kind words,
Dear M. Brindo,
I started out as armor and sci -fi modeler. As the year and experience progressed , I start setting goals for myself as I want to be not the best, but a well rounded modeler. therefore for the past few years I began to study applying super gloss coat, weathering, scratch-building, sculpting, and of course, figure painting.
IMHO miniature figure painting take a lot of patience. I never succeed in one try. I take WIP photos and correct myself often. I paint very slow and I use acrylics and blending method, that means very thin layers until color gives a smooth color transition. I learned many skillful tips from the gaming/miniature painters.
I paint for camera, so therefore the figures in person is not always having the dramatic highlight and shadow or can be seen with "pop out" details. However, the figure you see person present a orderly and clean style.
I hope sharing this message you can understand my train of thoughts,
