This week, i start painting on my warhammer Gargants army, an army that's taken me 3 years to build and convert. I'm honestly terrified of how much time it's going to take, and if i'm going to be successfull in making it good enough!

"Do you want to see more?" Yarrrrrr!

I would be very keen to see you do the rest of the giants. This clip was one of your better ones, just you telling a story about some fun and finishing a project. You could tell you enjoyed yourself. I have noticed you both getting more and more ink so the next giant needs a full pirate sleeve tattoo. Maybe a Japanese traditional one or a Chinese dragon.

@@SquidmarMiniatures the giants skin stood out to me, it's very 'clean'. i mean your painting is amazing, but he is a big ass giant war guy. maybe some scars on his knees or scuff marks, dirt or something idk. i guess it's more work and you could mess up the skin paint job which is amazing but yea

If you haven't already started in on the painting go of the other 3, you may want to add a few barnacles onto the anchor or other shipwreck bits, really sell the beach scavengers motif.

I'm a sailor in the US Navy (Submarines), I really love the theme. But one thing I would do if I was you would be add nautical theme tattoos. For example sailors would get Pigs and Chickens tattooed on their feet, because in the event of a ship going down those were two animals that would float. A White Sparrow bird 🕊️ also represents either 5k/10K miles traveled on the sea. You could also have turtles shell backs (meaning he has traveled across the equator) or have Golden Dragon (crossing the equator and international dateline at the same time) etc ...

Something I love about how you paint, is you don't seem scared to try things around things you've already painted, and are always willing to take a risk. Whenever I get my work to a good place, I stop, worried I might ruin it, but like when you throw the pigment down at the end, you always push it somewhere special!

Man, watching you build these guys all this time, I was skeptical that they would turn out very well. But what a difference a coat of paint can do! One of your best paint jobs ever. That is the most hyper-realistic mini paint job I’ve seen you produce. The skin , the hair, the wood, and that Lego cloth! Amazing!

Maybe it's important to get that new release video up in time or whatever but i hope you keep doing stuff that makes you excited and prioritizing things you think are fun, because i think that keeps the soul of the channel intact and we in turn feel that enthusiasm! thanks for a good video and great paint job as always!
