That’s good going. Don’t worry if you can’t see improvements in quality or speed. We are often too close to it to see for ourselves over time. Its when you look back a year or two ago you notice the improvements, or every once in along while I have a mini level up moment when something just works much better than expected. Definitely do no judge your work mid-mini. Everything looks like arse until one random magical brush stroke near the end that somehow ties everything together unexpectedly.

That frog man looks pretty damn good. I don’t think you’ve got anything to be disappointed with if that’s representative. My pile of shame is shrinking on average but has spikes quite often. I actually track whats what so I have a number that overall shrinks which helps keep me motivated. I also know roughly how much I paint in a year. This helps as I know how much I can work through and warns me how much work I’ll be making if I back that KS I probably shouldn’t. I can also tell if I’m being slack this month. There are little tricks like this you can use to stay motivated, but just be sure you’re overall enjoying it. If you’re not then just do a black and white zenithal spray, varnish your stuff and be happy. Things look surprisingly good for minimal effort that way. There’s nothing stopping you going Sin City and adding one detail colour, maybe the same colour for a whole faction.
