Exciting! Respect for making it through the last year as a teacher. Enjoy your new routine, I'm pumped to see what you're able to do with the extra time!!! :-)

[Zumikito]

I know you have had this struggle for some time since you talked about it on Listening to paint dry episode. I am glad that you decided to continue with the channel! Thank you for the vids

[miguel]

"massive pile of shame" ?, Those are rookie numbers..
Jokes aside, best of luck on your decision and I'll definitely watch the hell out of your videos!

[VinceVenturella]

Well done brother, nothing but the best. When we recording the next Mythbusting now that you're free? ;)

[emilydowd-arrow]

From one teacher to another—I feel the frustration of losing creative energy amid the grind of guiding others. I admire your bravery. I LOVE your content BECAUSE it is pedagogical, rather than the lot of flashy fluff without any clear painting instruction or demo that I see from even some of my favorite other subs. Not that I blame them; I’m just disappointed. So, keep walking your own path.

It’s so heartwarming seeing all the comments from a lot of miniatures channels supporting you.
Personally I want to see that “Astarte”

[nemikan]

Best of luck, I know I'm pumped to see what else you start posting on here :)

One thing I will say - I feel like too many people post endless videos of "how to paint Space Marine or clickbait titles. What I find to be the most useful are titles that describe what you're actually focusing on technique wise - "drybrushing", NMM, edge highlighting or something like that. To each their own, but clear titles that hone in on the specific skill means I can easily find what I'm looking for.

One of the more unique things you have compared to most everyone else out there that I've seen in the miniature painting world is you also can sculpting amazingly well. I'm sure there are others out there - but you're the one who jumps to the top of my mind and will be my primary resource as more videos appear on sculpting.

You clearly got the skills - time to really share it with the world to the max!! :)

Your day job was a teacher? No wonder you make the best mini painting tutorials on

[maltedueholm]

I can only imagine what this past year has been like for teachers. I for one is super excited for seeing more content from you!

[Vanye]

One of the things I remember Adam at Tabletop Minions saying is that regular videos really helped. I think Scott has said it too. YouTube seems to do better with promoting when there is a regular (even if its not daily) stream for them to calculate from. I think Jon/Ninjon has also experienced it. Good luck with the new focus!

[morganfellows]

I'm totally ready for two exciting hours of colour theory, to be honest.

[tomscott]

An encouragement for you: you are by far my favourite miniature painting tutor. Like, by a mile. No one else seems to offer that down to earth approach and dig into the theory quite like you do. The one thing that's stuck with me is your approach to colours - how the name is not important it's the colour of the paint - I have gained the confidence to experiment now

[ralieghwhite]

You and Marco are a cut above pretty much everyone else I watch on YT. The thorough understanding of the craft and the way you explain it will definitely keep me around. I’ll be watching and liking every video! And I’ll probably have to stop by your Patreon now as well!

[NikoTeaJay]

Fiver had me laughing.

Best of luck going forward.

[boskojal]

You're a gold mine of art skills, I think a cool way to bring in more people is to work on a series of videos for beginners where you give the nooks and crannies of the craft like the "obvious" methodologies and technics that basically create the ground for leveling our skills as newcomers, and maybe from time to time doing some advanced level series

So I'm completely new to this hobby and I've wanted to start for quite awhile, it was your blood bowl video that finally made me take the plunge . I've bought the Blood Bowl box with the two teams and have started putting together the orc team but I keep putting the painting off, I keep finding reasons not too and still unsure on a few things. I really enjoy your videos and I'm not really a fan of speed painting videos, I really like seeing how good someone can make a model look. If you get stuck on ideas for videos I have a few ideas

[jacobstacey]

Hey man, Warhammer Weekly pointed me here. Taking a big risk and leaving a stable job should be rewarded, and we need more people taking risks to rebuild what was lost in 2020. I just subscribed to your patreon, and am looking forward to learning from you. By the way, my kids will be learning too, so you're still working with younger people. God bless and good luck.
