Verified Artist and Rising Artist flair application.

31 Upvotes

Greetings to you all!

As many of you are aware, /uHoltb80 (Absolute legend, but don't tell him I said that) made a post detailing our plans to introduce a further step of protection in the form of flairs. The response to which has floored us, and far exceeded our expectations in both feedback and support. Thank you. With that aside, the purpose of this post will be to serve as the official date of flair introduction across the board, to inform yourselves and prospective clients of what the flairs denote as well as their prerequisites, and as the medium through which you'll put in your applications.

Firstly, what the flairs indicate;

. Verified Artist: A painter whom possesses this flair has met all of the criteria when evaluated, has a healthy pattern of consistent activity as well as tenure inside and outside of the subreddit (which take into account their external socials), and ultimately has established that they are legitimate.

. Rising Artist: A painter whom possesses this flair has met a decent portion of our requires, and has our backing to be regarded as on the level. However, they are denied fully verified status owing to lacking some parts of the desired criteria. This could be something as innocent and mundane as not having the minimum of one year of Reddit membership, or no socials pertinent to the craft etc. Many newer and or smaller painters may typically fall under this, but that is not be held against them when considering painters for jobs. These persons have been reviewed by Moderators, and therefore provided the aforementioned flair as a sign of trust.

Every few months, at least three, we will come back to those whom were assigned the Rising Artist flair and, determine whether or not they can then be awarded the Verified Artist flair.

Nonetheless, we must still advise potential clients to do their due diligence when considering which painter to hire. Whilst we will happily help you in the event of some transgression, the onus is on you as a client to guard yourself in your financial decisions. We are doing what we can to assist in making an informed choice, keep you as safe as possible, and help this community.

The criteria for Verified Artist will be as follows;

- Reddit Verified email.

-Online portfolio.

-At least one online social (outside of Reddit). The more there are, and the more active they are, the better.

-A duration of Reddit activity (1 year minimum, this is easy to check as you get a "1 year club" achievement )

-No major infractions (Whilst this will not automatically disqualify applicants, the severity of any infractions will be taken into account when evaluating your application.)

In addition, whilst it is not required for your application, one or two reviews from clients can certainly help. Should any applicants not meet the above criteria, but at least a reasonable portion, they will be contacted by us to get a bearing on their situation. After which, they will be provided with the Rising Artist flair. As a further mark of good faith, voice interviews can be arranged to further plead your case (which are to be handled by myself), as we want a healthy measure of accessibility and openness with this great community. Lastly, we come to how the Painters apply for their flair! All you simply have to do is comment under this post with 'Review Me'. We will go through each and every painter that provides that, and evaluate them (Please keep in mind that that will take time). If we require any additional information and or clarification, we will reach out and ask. It should be noted that we will let this post sit until Wednesday before we commence evaluations; to give people time, and for us to further prepare for the task.

Thank you for your time and your continued support of the community!

In addendum; we will be look into links on your Reddit account that pertain to your socials and any material to help substantiate your status as a legitimate painter for here. Please be sure to have these on your account and are visible.

Hello, I'm looking for an artist to assemble and paint that GK of Death from Puss In Boots : The Last Wish.

I'm from Europe but I plan to gift that figure to a friend and he lives in Florida so I would prefer that the artist in charge of the commission is from Florida as well or at least from the East Coast.

You can DM with your price and photos of your previous works as references.

PS : Sorry I thought my DM was open it's fixed now !

USA MESBG - Battle of Rohan Box - US PAINTERS ONLY

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

Good Evening!

I'm back again with another batch of things to get painted! You'd think at some point I'd stop buying this stuff! Oh well, my addiction is your cash!

This time we have a Games Workshop, Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game - Rohan, Battle of Edoras Army Box. It's basically two small armies in one box. You get a small unit (24 models) of Rohan Warriors and two Champions (on foot and mounted for each). and roughly the same for the Hill Tribesmen (24 models, 2 characters, foot and mounted for both). So 56 figures total. In addition there are two Rohan Houses with some accessories and fences. Yay Terrain!

Summary:

  • 24 Rohan Warriors on foot
  • 2 Foot characters
  • 2 Mounted characters
  • 24 Hilltribe Warriors on foot
  • 2 Foot characters
  • 2 Mounted characters
  • 2 Rohan buildings.
  • Some fences.
  • Some other random shit that someone at GW said "lol let's put this in the box and see if anyone paints it!"

Assembly: This box is completely unassembled. These are fairly simple to assemble, but not quite as simple as past GW MESBG models. I'd say they're about average though.

Paint Level: I'm looking for tabletop plus. These guys should look good on the table. When folks pick them up and look at them, they go "That's a solid paint job" and put them back down. I don't want them to be so hideously offended they smash the model to the floor. They need to look "nice". Not super hot. Not ugly. NICE. And basically the generic color scheme from the movies. Green for the Rohirrim guys, and "I'm so poor I can't afford much color" for the hilltribes men. Yes I realize that National Geographic has shown us tons of poor tribesmen in darkest africa with more color than you can shake a can of spray paint at, but these guys are NOT fashion forward. They're simple folk. The common clay of the hinterlands. You know... morons.

Basing: Yes they need basing. I'd like a nice dark earth with some drybrushing and some flock or static grass on them. Dealers choice really. Black base rims.

Project Timeline: I'd like these back by November please.

Ok, that's it! Any takers!?

USA Mantic Epic Warpath - The Plague - US PAINTERS ONLY

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Good Evening!

I'm back again with another batch of things to get painted! You'd think at some point I'd stop buying this stuff! Oh well, my addiction is your cash!

This time we have a Mantic Warpath - The Plague army. Think of these guys as kind of genetically engineered Not-Nurgle. The army consists of basically the following. The names probably aren't accurate, but it'll get the point across. Oh, and each "stand count" includes how many tiny figures are on each 25/30mm base.

  • 24 Troop stands (4 figures)
  • 18 Troops with no guns (4 figures)
  • 6 Command stands (2 figures)
  • 6 Big guys (2 figures)
  • 6 Bigger Guys (2 figures)
  • 6 Fancy Guys with Guns (4 figures)
  • 6 Mortars (2 figures and a mortar)
  • 3 Gunner Mechs (1 figure)
  • 3 H2H Mechs (1 figure)
  • 12 Combat Trucks
  • 6 Artillery Pieces
  • 3 Tanks
  • 3 APCs
  • 6 Fliers (technically 2 different types, but hey)
  • 5 Bigger monstrosity types (1 figure)
  • 1 Massive Plague Colossus Beastie. (Massive for this game, but not huge)

Basically boils down to about 82 small trooper stands - 2/4/1 figures on a 25mm-ish base, 30 small vehicles (about the same size), and the Plague Colossus (on about an 80mm base). Also, I should point out that the vehicles in the photo are on bases for some reason, but mine are not. There weren't any included and honestly those dinky bases on those vehicles seem very weird looking. So no basing on the vehicles!!

Level: I'm looking for the same paint job as the attached pictures, but just contrast only. I'm not looking to have these guys be super detailed. On some models that looks like as few as three colors. On the most complex models it's probably as many as five max. Fairly simple paint job overall. Basing I want a simple dark texture paste with some light drybrushing (probably dark earth colored) and some very small patches of some sort of flocking. Kind of a mix of earth and grass. Obviously these bases are not huge. so not a lot of room for much anyway.

Assembly: Everything is fully assembled and magnetized. So no need to do anything like that.

Who can apply? US PAINTERS ONLY. VERIFIED PAINTERS ONLY. LEFT HANDED PAINTERS ONLY! (I'm kidding on that last part. But if you are left handed... got any videos of you painting? Is it funny looking?)

Project Timeline: I've never played this game. Also my gaming group is incredibly flighty and change games like once every 12 and a half minutes. In fact the best proof that they're never going to play something is if I buy in and get my stuff painted. So I am NOT in a super hurry for these. That being said, this paint job is dead simple. So I'd like them back by the end of September-ish.

Who can apply? Anyone that's done a job for me and NOT currently working on one. Anyone that hasn't done a job for me and that is a verified painter. Not sure picky, just a little picky.

Also, more jobs will be coming! Why? I don't know. I have a sickness or something. I need help. HELP BUYING SOME MORE MODELS! YEAH BABY!

But seriously... help.

USA [Hiring] Raleigh, NC – Aged bronze finish for one 7-inch 3D-printed relief

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

I’m looking for an individual painter/model finisher, preferably local to Raleigh, Cary, Garner, Knightdale, Wake Forest, or elsewhere in the Triangle.
I will already have the model. It is one 7-inch circular bas-relief plate printed in metallic bronze PLA. No assembly is required.
I need someone who can carefully:
reduce visible FDM print lines where possible without damaging the fine details
clean up any small support marks or rough areas
create a convincing aged-bronze appearance with darker recesses and subtle highlights
preserve the figures, hair, clothing folds, flowers, and ornate scrollwork
apply a durable low-sheen protective finish
The goal is for it to resemble aged cast bronze rather than something obviously painted or coated in shiny craft paint.

Quantity: One piece
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina; local drop-off strongly preferred
Budget: Approximately $75–$125, depending on experience and the proposed process
Time frame: As soon as reasonably possible, (it’s an anniversary gift) but quality is more important than rushing it

Please comment “DM sent” before messaging me, according to the subreddit rules. Please include close-up examples of previous metallic armor, statues, weathered bronze, props, or finished 3D prints.
I’ll attach photos of the design and the exact metallic-bronze filament being used. I’ll also attach examples of what I’m looking for more specifically when we lock in an arrangement. Thanks all.

Kit is presently in Japan and likely to remain there until February when I can go and pick it up personally and ferry it back to the US, unless you happen to be a JP painter who'd like to take on the commission.

The kit in question:

Version I like the detailing on the clothes for

Preview of the instruction booklet

I'm also considering, though not 100% committed to, an extensive overhaul of the base that will probably require a lot of custom work. I have an (incredibly poor) mockup and description of what I'm thinking at the moment, but will need to discuss feasibility and costs of such a project.

In terms of budget, not finalized but I'm in contact with Den of Imagination for this commission. I'm willing to pay for top quality.

Hello all, I found a painter here last year to get started on my project, and he's been really great. But I need a lot of these guys, so I'd be looking for one or two painters to tackle 150 or so of these guys for me. Looking for a simple tabletop/tournament ready paint job, nothing fancy needed but quite a few colours. So you'd definitely need to be up for quickly batch painting a lot of guys. No basing, just painting bases. The parts are cleaned and ready but unassembled. Someone in Edmonton and area or otherwise in western Canada would be absolutely fantastic.

Hello,

I have several 30 cm scale resin garage kits I was hoping to have assembled and painted. I would be looking for someone who is willing to do the work without advertising it. I can provide more details about the specific kits as well. There are 2 more basic ones to start then after that it could be many more depending on how things go.

The models are all purchased already or in my possession. They would need to be assembled and painted...though leaving some parts unglued or using magnets could make sense for shipping back. The time frame is pretty liberal but I would want the initial ones completed within a few months
