I started my painting journey a couple years ago with you painting tutorial for zombicide. I painted a fair bit now and checked TONS of other content creators on the subject, trying more advanced techniques or some speed painting ones like the recent Slapchop. But now i come back here to realize that your videos are still the best, speed\efficiency i ever saw. Mixing all your colors along the way instead of creating the need to buy tons of paints. Keep it up, you are inspiring and a insanely good painter.

The leg piece that you painted in the red-brown tones was later replaced by another piece that has more of a military dark green olive tone. The red piece is definitely more striking and the better aesthetic choice, but the sculpt is definitely based on Djarin's appearance at the end of season 2, so the green one would be for accuracy.
