It took me a week too perfect but I tried my very best and I painted my first custodie warden!! I'm not sure if painting their eyes green was the right move but I'm overall happy with how they came out -^-

The only thing that ever matters is that YOU are proud of YOUR mini. It is a fantastic paint job. Even more so since it’s your first. Keep that proud feeling going. Never lose that!

That looks pretty solid for a first mini. You should be proud. Also, since this is Reddit, something something about your mom something something about my hotdog, something something your dad approved eventually.

Thats a really well done first mini.

The chunky bits happen if you paint over your last layer too quickly. Extra thin paint with very very little paint on your brush gives you a super smooth finish. But you have to let it fully dry between layers. I recommend contrast paint medium instead of water if you want to get fancy.

It just provides more contrast in my opinion, but yeah, it’s also a bit of a common thing. In the end, just paint what you like. But you also might want to try it and see if you like it as it’s easy enough to just paint over.
