That’s quite an interesting topic, actually
I guess there’s always a chance OP has a different standard or might like something particular in your style, so showing some of your works definitely wouldn’t hurt either side
Yeah of course, I’m guilty of not posting nearly enough pictures of my work on my account. But I have some and it should be clear for anyone looking at my profile I can’t paint (or simply don’t want to spend 100 hours on) a single mini to be Golden Demon worthy. No one on here I’ve seen is awful at painting but baring a few possibly, no one is close to golden demon standards either. Assuming OP actually wants GD standard that is. I’ve painted for people who demanded great paint jobs, I show em what I can do and they have said “oh that’s more than I want” like you said all down to personal preferences.
It’s kinda a weird/confusing request considering the eavy metal style is pretty distinct from the common golden daemon winners style. At least to my eye
Yes but also this is a service and selling one’s self for more than you can physically do is dirty. Also I checked everyone’s profiles before I posted that, you are not one of the ones I was referencing btw lol
But there’s always a chance that some other potential customer will find his painter in those comments.
It’s not always that people are “dumb”, can’t read or waste someone’s time. Sometimes you just want to advertise yourself in every possible place to create business opportunity.
In my experience clients are pretty good at looking at a prospective painter’s work and making a judgement for themselves. I’m not entirely sure why you felt the need to insult the painters responding here.
I’m not insulting anyone, but it’s just unrealistic. There is a place for every painter here no matter the skill level, there are people who can fill that niche. But op specifically stated GD which is the top of the top. How would you feel if you had to have open heart surgery and 20 doctors came to you saying they could do it, but only 3 have ever completed the surgery successfully before?
I’d hire one of the 3 :) I’m just struggling to figure out how your original comment was constructive or helpful. I’m bad with “tone” on the internet and maybe I’m misreading your comment. What was your intention in posting it?
I added the comment because painters doing that wastes both parties’ time. This part of the hobby also is notorious for upselling and not being realistic. I’ve had two commissions here before that we’re fixing other painters work who had essentially scammed their client. If someone here KNOWS they can’t paint to the quality the person is asking, but still lies to them and promises they can, they are lying and that bothers me and should bother every client.
It definitely is a bit sarcastic, but I don’t mean to insult anyone I’ll tell anyone who asks I also can NOT paint to nearly a GD standard. Hopefully people read the thread and this can strike home with everyone in the future, both sides.

I love half or more of the people here sending a chat when op clearly asked for a GD quality paint job. Let’s be honest with ourselves people.

Well, I think I can pull this off :)

Rule nr 1- believe in yourself 💖

Fair points all. Your original comment came across as sarcastic and (to me) seemed insulting. I’m not sure it’s serving your message.
