Time to talk ;)

I wanted to take feedback after first month from you.
I generally paint large scale miniatures for contests. Of course it takes many work hours like around two months for each miniature. The painting process sometimes progresses slowly, because I wanted to paint them high quality. Because of this, I can share just one miniature during this time with painting details and information.
I'm almost finished the Eidolon and I'm going to start the Morathi. This is also large scale model. But, if you want to see small scale model for patreon, I can start one of the small scale models from Warhammer.
On the other hand, I already have a lot of detailed wip photos and pdfs from my old paintings. I also want to share them with you.
So, I wanted to ask your opinions on this;
- I can paint large scale models which I can finish around two months or,
- I can share WIP photos and prepare pdfs from my old projects such as the Lord of Change, the Dragon King, the Lady Olynder, Mortarion etc. or,
- I can paint small scale models which I can finish in a month.
Even, we can create kind of painting calendar and we can follow this timeline :
large scale model (2 months) > WIP photos and pdfs from old projects (1 month) > small scale model (1 month)
I'm waiting your opinions, thank you :)

2019-06-13 15:03:55 +0000 UTCI would love to see pdfs and guides to your older works, as those are what convinced me to join you on Patreon. Seeing the work in progress with information on the process would be great. I'd also be very interested in seeing you do smaller models like space marines. Most of what I paint are normal sized miniatures for my armies and seeing how you apply your techniques to the smaller figures would be such a help! I would also really like to see more videos of you painting. It would be great if you described what you were doing, but if you aren't comfortable doing that in English I'd understand ;) The videos like your Eidolon spear are so helpful because it shows not only the colors and consistency of the paint, how you blend and apply lines, but most helpfully it shows the order you do it in. Overall more videos of anything would be fantastic! :D A final thought, I don't need to see you paint a figure from start to finish. Creating a guide to just one part of the figure that has an interesting effect or an advanced technique is awesome too! Focusing in on say, the dragon king's scale mail armor would be great even if we don't see how you painted the skin for example. Adding a few focused guides like this can help break up the long stretch of painting a large model.

Just wanted to say, that your first work I have seen was painted Jessica Thunder (75mm) - blueish schema - and that was one of first impulses for me to start painting. So, if you still have any details about it, I would appreciate. The next one would be Mortarion - but this is quite complex to describe, I think...

2019-06-13 06:59:56 +0000 UTCtime to respond!! lol well in my opinion high quality take time, is a fact... so i'm full agree with wait but meanwhile you can post progress of you proyect as you been doing so, if you star morathi will be a huge deal for me because i've been holding that model to start with right foot, so my vote go for morathi by the way let me say that im really happy with how you been manage this so far and glad to be part of your follower, you inspire me to be better and this guidance help a lot thank you katar!!

2019-06-12 14:12:53 +0000 UTCI think that most of us are here because of 2 reasons - appreciate your work and pursuit of knowledge, we want to learn something from you. As James mentioned I think that mix is the best of those options but let me suggest one more solution. You're showing your talent and general view on rules, workshop, etc. on large scale models - that necessary to get to know your technic, get motivated or just cheers to your accomplishments. Another hand, most of us will never be even close to this level - we're trying to reach some technics, hack's, copy paste solutions on our few hours per week. Thats why I want to suggest to do big scale projects and small 1 week guides/project that will show how to do stuff - skin, metal, bases, leather, etc. or craft as color management, painting with different technics, etc. In that we can be charmed and try to understand how you to those big miniatures and have something that we can really try to do ourselfs with mini weekly projects/lessons when you don't even need to paint whole miniature, just a part of a model that is needed to show how to do this or that.

2019-06-12 12:04:44 +0000 UTCI think a good mix is best. The large projects are great to show the high end performance and techniques. Smaller projects, something you can do in a single week or 2 are nice for more focused ideas and techniques. I think your pdf for lines was good for this. Pdfs for old projects are great for filler when you're entrenched in a big project but not putting out a specific post for the week because what you're painting isn't complete. Some of the things that I personally like are long form videos. You can just have your camera run for 1-2 hrs at a time on your larger projects. Add some low volume free use background music as well as your personal musings as you paint. You don't have to go back and narrate or anything. Just some short explanations of what you're doing, how you're going to do it, and then watch it happen for an hour or so. The youtube auto translate captioning is usually pretty good if you're hesitant about your english or something and it'll translate for all the other languages as well and hit a wider audience. I also personally learn better from those types of visual teaching methods. I also think they might be easy to put out. compared to a pdf document you have to gather info for, collate it, edit, and publish vs just record, add music, upload. I do like the pdfs, I prefer the google drive more for pictures instead of rar files. I was kind of sad not seeing a video at all for the actual painting of the eidolon besides the trident. I patronize a couple other individuals. I recently unsubscribed from an individual that is a great painter that only made long videos. The last 2 months are just 1 hr videos of painting the same model. There is another painter I love that does a great mix of pdfs for techniques and effects vs videos vs sharing pictures. Smaller models will get you more variety to build your patreon. I can't wait to see how it evolves.
