Look at this absolute shambles of a workspace. Very much reflecting the mind behind it.

Acrylic paint pots of different sizes, oil paint tubes, paintbrushes, an airbrush and holder, putty modelling tools, bits of sprue, a covered wet palette, bits of paint-covered tissue, mugs of dirty paint water, all jumbled and crammed together as though by some passing neighbourhood madman. A mini stands in the midst, framed by a painting light and magnifying lenses at the top and a very worn faux-leather desk chair at the bottom.

A whole new child appears! Bearded and girthy! Its absurd size in comparison with gaming minis is subtly hinted at by both cramming it inside the largest Rathcore painting handle, tacked to a painting base probably intended for horses*, and standing it next to an industry-standard reference pot of Vallejo plastic putty. *🤷‍♂️
A mostly black-primed chonky dorf. If you squint, you can see his squint. The head, lack of neck, and trapezius have an initial brown basecoat applied. This could take a while. And that’s coming from _this_ guy.
Ivory paint is added to the brown in stages to distract the eye from ‘real’ (pfft) light and imply a starker contrast. Too stark? Yes. Will it get starker? It will. Will that make it better in some way? Almost certainly not, no.
A dark red base coat has been applied to a beard larger than the average human torso. A start has been made in layering up towards orange on the many, overlapping moustache mini-beards.
A little red-to-orange pass across the main beard strands, most orange on the upwards-facing portions. The whole beard will probably need to get a lot brighter before we’re done.
