Sorry, I could have been clearer. Peter Adkinson owned Wizards of the Coast, the money printing company behind Magic the Gathering, and sold it to Hasbro for a small mountain of cash. He now runs/owns Gen Con as a hobby/retirement project. They're also only a 15 person company for 90% of the year which keeps costs down. I agree on your point about hobby events and companies dying off, especially the mid size ones that don't have the reserves or clout of a big Con but are too much for a group of scrappy volunteers. I can only hope that as things clear up there are other groups ready to step into their shoes after a few years.
Maybe Gen Con will reduce prices to entice people and exhibitors come? I don't go even though it's only a few hours drive for me because it's just too expensive.
Wha? The first image is overexposed if anything, look at the cloth on her stomach, etc. It's the same mini and the exact same paintjob, photographed differently.
Seriously though, what lumps? I still can't see what the fuss is about. I even cleaned my monitor just in case. I assume the red circle marks the spot and isn't just a red herring?
In the first panel there's a tiny connection between the sword and the teatowel, circled in red, which isn't present on the webstore image. Whoever drew the comic assumed this was caused by liquid paint forming a bridge between the two and then drying, not realising that the battle report was entirely virtual and this is likely a scanning error.
There's nothing worse in humor than explaining a joke, so unless it turns into a world-wide riot I won't do it, either it works or it fails. But for Nuada here is a little close-up pictures set. Spoiler: Picture set for comic Colbrok gave you an explanation that I think is relevant, because looking at the 360° video there are no such threads of paint lumps (fils de grumeaux de peinture). tchuss
Yeah if you ever tried digitising method that CB uses (based on tutorial from Vaul and friends), you see that some lumps and funny connections are inevitable and they take some time in 3D editor to fix manually. I recall O12 units having more glaring scanning mistakes when Starmada pack was previewed.
Yeah, on that single pic it looked like one of those lines in the background. But with that consistency it indeed looks like a 3D scanning issue, exactly of the kind that happen on the TTS 3D scans made by Vaul's group. And that's why it's not there on the product photos. The whole "hurr durr dumb painter left huge paint lumps on the mini and then had to repaint" angle is so much reaching just to shit on the artist and the studio, it's pretty disgusting and insulting, to be honest.
Hello everyone, Let me tell you that Corvus Belli will remain closed from today until April 5th due to Easter Holidays. So please, enjoy and take care! :)
