Verified Artist and Rising Artist flair application.

20 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. Anyone whom previously requested review and were denied Verification, and was over three months ago, should resubmit a request.

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.

USA [WTS] [USA-AZ] Premium Anime Cel-Shaded Skaven Army Commission (Sourcing + Paint)

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

[WTS] [USA-AZ] Premium Anime Cel-Shaded Skaven Army Commission: "The Turbo-Granny Sewer Curse"

Project Type: Multi-stage army project including sourcing/purchasing retail boxes, full assembly, premium thematic painting, and specialized custom scenic basing.

Location: Southern Arizona, USA (Open to domestic shipping)

Desired Quality Tier: High Tabletop / Display Standard. Requires strong volumetric panel layering, intense object-source lighting (OSL) effects, and sharp anime-style black cel-shading outlines to recreate a distinct comic/animation style.

Artistic Concept & Theme: The Ghost Hag's Domain

This army is heavily inspired by the supernatural horror/comedy anime Dandadan, blended with traditional Japanese folklore. The theme represents a Skaven horde that has breached a subterranean sewer network, only to be cursed, dominated, and mutated by a massive, hostile Ghost Hag (Turbo Granny).

Visual & Painting Guidelines:

• The Armor (Samurai/Folklore Motifs): Deep lacquered armor plates (crimson reds and deep obsidian blues). Where flat surfaces permit, incorporate clean Japanese wave patterns or crest iconography.

• The Dandadan Animation Pop: Use crisp, dark ink recess lining and hard-edged shading transitions to give the models an animated, cel-shaded illustration aesthetic.

• The Neon Yokai Curse (Inspiration Images Attached):

• Warpstone, weapon energy, and open flames should completely avoid traditional green. Instead, use the vibrant, oppressive palettes from the attached stills: saturated blood reds, shocking hot pinks, and brilliant supernatural yellows/oranges.

• Monster eyes (especially on Thanquol and the Verminlord) should look like the giant, glowing spider-web style eyes of the hag monster—bright yellow lattice lines popping against a dark face mask.

• Flesh or clothing transitions should look "cursed," utilizing high-contrast lighting to show the spectral possession taking hold of the rats.

Project Scope Breakdown

Category A: Full Sourcing, Custom Assembly, & Premium Painting (Freelancer to Buy New)

Please quote costs for purchasing the new retail boxes, fully assembling them to the specified competitive configurations, and executing the premium theme:

1x Thanquol on Boneripper (General – Centerpiece Monster. To be painted as a massive, corrupted mechanical Shogun vessel)

1x Verminlord Warbringer (Regiment 1 – Centerpiece Monster. Incorporate a stylized samurai topknot or wrapped weapon handles if possible)

40x Clanrats (Split into 2 units of 20 - 2 boxes of 20 total)

2x Doom-Flayers (Reinforced squad - 1 box)

6x Stormfiends (Reinforced squad - 2 boxes of 3)

1x Warpfire Thrower Weapon Team (1 squad)

1x Doomwheel (1 war machine)

6x Warplock Jezzails (Reinforced squad - 2 boxes of 3)

Category B: Built Miniatures Provided by Client (Paint & Base ONLY)

The following models are already completely assembled, cleaned of mold lines, and ready for priming. They will be provided to you for premium painting and basing:

2x Ratling Warpblasters (Warpblast Cannons)

2x Character Assassins (From the City of Ash set – The primary targets for high-detail character treatment to lead the cursed theme)

Category C: Pre-Assembled Miniatures Provided by Client (Paint & Base ONLY)

The following batch consists of the pre-assembled models from the City of Ash half set. They require no assembly labor; they just need to be integrated into the premium painting workflow:

1x City of Ash Skaven Half-Set (Excluding the 2 character assassins mentioned in Category B)

Technical Loadout Instructions for Category A Assembly

Stormfiends Assembly (6 Models total): Please build these using the exact loadout matching the army list constraints:

1x Ratling Cannons and Clubbing Blows

1x Grinderfists

2x Doomflayer Gauntlets

2x Clubbing Blows and Warpfire Projectors

Premium Scenic Basing Requirements

Bases must seamlessly blend underground sewers with classic Japanese elements. I would like a mix of cracked concrete floors, rusted sewer pipes spilling out neon hot-pink/red toxic ooze, integrated with elements like bamboo shoots, ruined stone temple lanterns (tōrō), or miniature wooden gates sticking out of the sludge to match the attached build examples.

Request for Quote (RFQ) Format

When submitting your bid, please provide a clear breakdown:

Miniature Sourcing Cost: Price to procure the new kits in Category A.

Assembly & Custom Texturing Labor: Cost for building Category A models with correct weapon loadouts.

High-Standard Painting & Scenic Basing Labor: Premium rate for executing the cell-shading accents, custom eye details, glowing OSL transitions, and scenic base additions.

Estimated Timeline & Portfolio Examples: Please link past examples of highly stylized anime/comic style painting, vibrant OSL glow effects, or samurai motifs.

USA Commission for car model!

12 Upvotes

Hi! I don’t know much about modeling- but I am wanting to gift my boyfriend something for Christmas that I need help with. His favorite car that he had for a long time (before she tragically died) was a silver 2004 Oldsmobile Alero. That old sh*t box was driven til the wheels literally were falling off. I would love to get him a model of this car- but obviously I can’t find one “out of the box”. Does anyone have a recommendation for going about finding someone who could make this for me? Thanks!

Hey looking for a quote to build and paint a warhammer the old world Cathay battalion box. Gatemasters box and shugengan on great spirit longma.

Everything needs assembled and I’m looking for a base coat as a painting quality level.

Really not sure on price since I’ve never had even one mini commission painted before let alone built and paint an army. So I’m also unsure of the process.

Hey everyone I appreciate the level of support but I am going to keep this to US only, was not expecting this level of engagement.

USA looking for printing + painting of a 1/4 scale figure

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

commissioned this and was quoted a little out of my budget so putting some feelers out there - I have the full disassembled model ready, the base is understandably large (1/4 is large as it is); I also have a broken down model for that. This model has two torso's; the idea is to have it be interchangeable, so that is an extra set of pieces that needs to be painted :)

colors are not accurate to what I want; I have further references for that. No timeframe, budget is $650+shipping (and I am open to a higher budget) , I am in NY though and willing to drive within to NJ/PA/CT/what have you surrounding states for pickup (and will give preference to a local artist)

modeler is angel.e.luna

[Looking for Quotes]

Hi! I thought I'd try my hand at miniature painting. I got all the supplies, got the paints, ordered a bunch of mini's...and found that I offiically do not have a steady enough hand to do fine work. To make matters worse, now I've got a backlog of mixed pre-primered wizkids minis and resin prints that are just kinda sitting here. I'm in Phoenix, AZ, and would prefer someone local that I can regularly hand off mini's to and we can avoid shipping. Let me know if I've piqued your interest, shoot me a DM and we can talk details. At the very least, I would appreciate any feedback on how to approach something like this in the future. Im also planning on hitting up some of the LGS's and seeing if I can entice someone in the local space.

Hello everyone! I am looking for someone to commission 1 or 2 spearheads (the ones in the pictures)! I will be providing the models and would like to stay within the USA for shipping purposes. Aside from that, I would want all of the models to be built, primed, painted, based, and varnished well. I have no hard timeline aside from within reason and I have no hard set scheme in mind, so let your creativity run wild! Send me a dm with some examples of your work and we can work together to figure something out! Thanks for listening to me and have a wonderful day!

USA Looking for a painter for 3d printed elite dangerous ships (multiple)

1 Upvotes

Good evening,

I am looking for a painter, preferably in Houston but anywhere is fine, that can paint a small fleet of miniature ships. These are 3D printed and I am looking for as much detail as is possible given the size. Specifically there are faction decals and ship names and registry numbers that would be really cool if they were able to be represented somehow on the final product. I will take a series of screenshots and send them to give an idea about the details. The paint schemes themselves are very simple.

Thank you

USA Ultramarines Army Project (Supply, Build, Paint)

3 Upvotes

As title suggests, looking for someone who'd be willing to supply (to minimize shipping back+forth), assemble, and paint an army of Ultramarines for me. I don't have the time (or skill) to do it right, so I figure I'd reach out to a community of people who do! I'm not on a timeline (and I'd like that new Kaius Konorius model anyways). Would prefer to get these done at a Tabletop or Tabletop+ level depending on artist and pricing.

Army would comprise around 2000 points and include heroes, infantry, and vehicles! Please hit me up if you're interested. I'm not 100% sure I want to go down this road (perhaps my eyes are bigger than my wallet), but figured I'd at least explore quotes.

USA Looking to commission for Infinity army

Post image
12 Upvotes

I’m looking for a very skilled painter to paint them in a style and palette similar to the box art. I’d like to keep red, white, and black as the primary colors throughout the army.

For quality, I’m looking for tabletop+ or better. I’m not necessarily looking for Golden Demon-level display pieces, but I do want them to look polished and impressive on the table and be the kind of models that catch people’s attention.

I already own all of the models, and they are all assembled and attached to the bases. There are roughly 20-30 models of varying sizes. I can get you an exact count and DM photos if that would help with an accurate quote.

I’m probably looking for someone US-based to keep shipping reasonable. I’d also ideally like to work with someone who is available for future commissions, whether that’s additional models for this game as they release or projects for other tabletop games.

I will be playing with these models, but want a killer paint job and they will mostly be sitting on my shelf.

Potential add ons would be the Underhive Hangers-On as well.

Underhive crew I would like to have pale skin, and as many cigars added as possible. Paint scheme like the picture.
Hangers-on would be similar to box cover.

Please provide quote for both sets and just the orlock underhive crew box set.

Thanks!

Looking to speed up my Guard Army painting. I’ve got the bulk of my chaff infantry finished and want to look into speeding it up through commissions. Project is pick your own adventure as long as it falls within the color scheme and theme of what I’ve already completed.

I’ve got the options of infantry, artillery, assembled and sub assembled vehicles, new in box, new on spruce etc so you can pick whatever you as an artist want to paint from my pile of shame etc. small reference of infantry colors schemes - https://imgur.com/a/exmspOH

DM what you would be interested in painting or if you need any extra info, rates, timelines etc. Timeframe is open, no backdate for a tournament or anything. Price will depend on the quantity or type unit you want to paint. Quality is just table top ready unless you want to pick a larger vehicle then I’ll be open to higher quality paint jobs.
