Just my thoughts on the complete set, so far I'm very pleased with it. paint review will be coming along once I've had a bit more time to play with them, but the results have been fantastic so far.
I've been sitting on this video for a bit, sorry about that. I got it in the mail, made the video, and got to painting going into last weekend but on that Saturday my dog started getting lethargic and seemed off, sk we had to book a vet appointment for her that Tuesday. Unfortunately, when we woke up on Sunday she had passed in her sleep so we have been pretty bummed out for a bit.
Luna was 14 years old and with us since weeks. She was an amazing friend that we will miss, but knowing that she got to be home with us at the end helps ease the pain when we consider that the vet had already told us to be prepared for a last trip in based on age and a recent checkup.
Sorry to dampen the mood, we are just missing our big goofy friend, and this video was what I had been working on at the time.

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one with a dodgy box. I thought it was just me but you’re right, nothing seemed designed to fit properly and the thing basically tore itself apart. 😂

It's definitely a 1st world problem and one that I have barely thought of after the first day, but I'm glad I didn't find a need to return these a day or 2 later as it was quite trashed after trying to "fix it" lol

Saddened to hear about your loss, she was a big part of your world and it leaves a big hole when they have to go on. I'm glad to hear it sounded like a peaceful passing for her with minimal discomfort. Take care.

Thanks, we had been preparing for it for a while due to her age (14) but it was never going to be easy as she was a big part of our family and with us almost as long as my wife and I have been together. Thankfully the last 2 weeks have been really busy for me and I was able to keep myself distracted, though usually once night comes and I do my before bed routine it sinks in that I won't be letting her in and out, checking food and water, etc and I get a little sad. But we have lots of great memories of her and are happy that it was as easy on her as it was likely going to be.

@@thehiddenheretic The process of keeping busy does a really good job of keeping things off our minds, however it is double edged as it means we also can postpone those thoughts and grief. By being busy and thinking we put off thinking about the things really affecting us. Sounds like you have developed a routine for going about the day and a positive outlook on the experiences you had with her, and she had with you, and ideally this helps/is part of your grieving process...it is hard though. So damn hard. My partner and I do our own little memorialization when a pet passes and it has helped a lot.

Flexible triad means you can grab any 3 in the 6 next to each other and get a triad. Greenskin - Eternal Hunt - Wild Green for example. Eternal Hunt - Wild Green - Ferocious Green as another example. For stark contrast you could grab the darkest, mid tone, brightest and have a stark contrast triad.

I have learned a lot about this system in the week and half since I filmed it and yeah, it rocks. This is quickly becoming the best set of paints I have ever worked with. My review is going to be very positive as of now, but I have a few more things I want to do before I actually put that in stone (in gb?)

It's more accurate to call it a flexible triad system, rather than just "flexible triads". As you point out a triad is three colours. Personally, I refer to the groups of 6 as "colour families" that have been designed with the flexible triad system in mind.

Yeah, the name is still weird but after using it, a lot I might add, it's actually really nice even if I still seem to have decided on the 3 main colors for each one anyways haha. And those extra 3 colors make it easier to decide what to go with as an alternative if I feel too lazy to mix something up
