Well then! Who here is a slack painter with more unpainted minis than you care to admit to? I am, unashamed to admit it. The greatest curse in this hobby, aside from cost, is the weight of unpainted miniatures dragging down our souls like iron anchors. Okay, maybe you don't feel that way about it, but I do. Maybe you just want to get stuff painted so your friends stop giving you grief, or so you can run em in a tourney. Whatever your reason, you need to paint more. It can be a drag though. I like to paint, a lot, and there are still times where I'd rather dither about and ignore my brushes.
Well, a big help I've found is other people helping to motivate me. The best, of course, is to have a painting night where you and your mates get together and slap paint on minis while hanging out. Tough to do in today's busy world, so I propose we do that here on Dysartes' forum. Much like the thread I'm shamelessly copying this idea from on Portent, the idea is that you post a list of minis that you need to have painted, and preferably set a deadline to finish them by. Then as you progress on your minis, post updates, preferably with pics. No one is going to razz you for not painting (well, maybe if you're reeeeeally slack), but we sure will cheer you on when you post your stuff.
It may sound a bit wierd, but it works really well for me, others too. So I invite you to join in to the Dysartes Painting Support Group. Membership is easy. Declare your intentions, list your projects, and take part in support. That's it.
I'll start...
