galenwolf Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 So I saw that coolminiornot has released their DVD set: Miniature Painting Secrets with Natalya. Has anyone had a look at it? Im asking because Chris over AGProductions is on my sub list for youtube and watching him nearly go insane over how bad he thought it was made me rofl. He says that with painting skin all you got was "put the light paint in the light area's and the dark paint in the dark areas"... no techniques, no mixture ratios... nothing. The same happened with tools. No what type of brushes to use (makes, types of bristle), what paints makes are out there, what tools you need and now to use them, and how to maintain all your stuff. According to him, in his mimic of what was covered, all that happened was "these are my brushes" (chris throws his brushes over his shoulder), "these are my paints" (paints go over the same shoulder), "these are my tools" (tools follow the paints and brushes) that was it. He thinks its the worst set ever put on the market. So.. I was wondering if anyone here would agree with him.

averykess Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 That review is hilarious. I wonder if it is as bad or worse than described.

CainTheHunter Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 50 bucks for a DVD set? Dunno, good painting needs practice, practice and practice. I doubt she will share her actual "secrets" for 50 bucks. That's is the same like to buy some sort of Close Combat Ultimate DVD set for 30 bucks and then expect that after watching their extremely simple techniques you will become a skilled hand-to-hand fighter.

Arschbombe Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Entertaining review. A little over the top, but entertaining nonetheless.

GhostLegion Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 as i am always looking for ways to improve my painting/conversion skills i have used this guy's reviews before. his comments on the hot lead painting dvds were pretty accurate and im glad i saw his review before buying (yes, I think the hot lead discs are pretty good...better than some others i have seen [painting wizard...ghah])...typically he is animated like this, but that makes the reviews worth watching...never mind the information he provided (which i tend to think is pretty good and fair). i suspect he approached the dvd from a standard view...that this is supposed to be an instructional dvd. which aparently it is not. I think that explains the views he is expressing in the review....but thats just me.
