Keep cool from RichardComment

Cheers Steve
Do the likes for the pikeman include the chap who wants to see an un-painted example because he doesn't like my painting style? B****y Planet Figure!!!Comment

Can't please everyone Peter, be nice to see what his painting style is like :smiling2::smiling2::smiling2:Comment

Mick - Sure can't. I was aware that there had been a bit of discussion about my so-called 'style' on PF - some for, others against. Bit odd really.
Steve - Don't worry. Richard will suddenly bounce back - he always does.
OK, the head of the ATA pilot is done:
Women's faces are hard to paint, especially young women - no lines and creases and no stubble! Instead, just hours of trying to blend the tones.Comment

Dont worry about P.F my friends.Ive had stuff reviewed on there and still no sales on them.Its very cliquey i feel if you arent in the collective.Id rather plow my own furrow.Sarnia miniatures and Mookies are always happy with box art paintings.We will back someday.Being a carer for my wife after a big op takes a lot of time up as you can imagine.Too hot to sculpt at the mo.There will be some comedy releases from us in time for Christmas so be warned.
Keep chins up me hearties.

Peter and Richard. Don't listen! Stay here amongst your friends who appreciate your talents. There are 'armchair generals' everywhere, but I've not found them here thankfully. Its a funny old business, which no one's going to get rich from. Just get enjoyment from it, and if others appreciate your work, it's a bonus but not why I do it!

Once again Peer had done a cracking job on the bust, and so quickly in this weather. it will be available on my sarnie miniatures site be the weekend.
Peter - you cannot please everybody; I know that some people will look at my busts and not like them, such is life, as long as you enjoy your painting then it is all worthwhile.

Thank you Andrew B.
Yes there are a nice group on here and as long as there are a few friendly folk then its more than worth it.I know some say have broad shoulders but its easier then done.The cameraderie counts rather than nit pickers.Peter d enjoys his painting,Peter G likes his sculpting and thats what matters.We learn a lot from others and especially Andrews trench workings which are mindblowing.
I look on you good people as friends ive yet to meet.
Mogel on friends one and all.Comment

Cheers chaps. The trouble with sticking your head above the parapet (ie box art) is that anybody is free to have a go, and they don't hold back on PF. One of the many reasons I'll never join what is an elitist and unfriendly site. I'm not particularly bothered by adverse comments and can take criticism on the chin - how else do we learn?Comment

Top work on the busts. I luv em:thumb2:Comment

Morning Peter
Planet Figure, hummm, when I read that I did wonder until your follow up comment
Seems "Valiant" is a sculptor not a painter, make of that what you will.
Lovely finish, and I for one would be more than satisfied if I ever got close to emulating your "style" Peter.
I still have a primed 1:16 figure, mocking me from a corner of my desk!
One day I will have another go.
Until then, I'll keep absorbing all your wonderful work.
Have a good day with the paints, and look forward to another installment of your unique "style"
Regards

Steve J - Many thanks.
Steve H - Yes, I had a look at Valiant's work too. Good sculptor, competent, but mediocre painter, and I don't see that the style is that different from mine. I can take constructive criticism, but his comment just seemed like a strange thing to say. Anyway, stuff Planet Figure. Have a good day at work.Comment
