Tap Into Extreme Hobby Productivity During Winter Hibernation 

While this does give us hobbiest a great excuse to get some stuff done, remember its perfectly ok to NOT make huge progress comming out of this.

You're such an amazing presence in this hobby, Brent. I love the supportive and calming energy that you bring. You are exactly what we need right now. Keep doing your thing.

The line: I decided to paint bravely the podcast really got me for some reason.

I know I mustn't speak for others, but your videos are for the most of us the highlight of their day! When goobertown has had an upload is is nearly impossible to not watch the video as soon as possible. Your videos give us joy and show us that there is still people out there that care and show compassion.

"And remember I am always rooting for you", not gonna lie, I kinda needed that, thanks man!

I got warhammer minis this Christmas, and started painting minis, they were not looking so good, but with the help of goobertown hobbies tutorials, now I can paint them nicely. Thank you Goobertown Hobbies!!!!

I do not know why, but hearing Brent call the stomach of a fearsome Choas demon a "tum-tum" has been one of the most amusing I have heard lately. Good luck with your great project, I hope to get some of my own projects done too in the following months!

Merry belated! Thank you for sticking with us and giving us something amazing crafty and soothing to watch to get us into the cozy craft space!

To me, Goobertown and Brent are the true spirit of mini painting. Always cheers me up and gets me in the mood for painting when I see his videos! Also, the cats are soooooo cute

That’s the plan, dude. Chilly outside, so it’s perfect to chill inside and paint :3

You sir, are definitely a man who would be great to know in person, more overly be a close friend. Love your optimistic and inspirational content. Salutes from Spain. :)

I never knew how good your words where when i was feeling down. My great grandma passed away a few weeks ago and now your words really mean something. Remember to take care of yourself too.

These turned out great and I really feel like you nailed the addition of different colors while keeping them part of the group with the accent items. Very nice looking crew.

i havent watched a goobertown video in a good couple of months, and i swear i felt a very real sense of comfort at brent's "welcome to goobertown hobbies"

These are a gorgeous addition to your army. I am legit in awe. And in awww of the Overcat inspecting his troups. We all know cats belong to Tzeentch.

Everything about Brent's videos is perfect, but personally I love it when his cats blip in and out of frame during the timelapse sections.

Once again, thank you for setting such a good example regarding the indoor lifestyle and being responsible. You're the best brochacho.

always appreciate the positive vibe and energy, it really helps and sometimes we all need someone to be rooting for us

You could try 3D printing an inverted cobblestone stamp. Make it larger than you need and offset it for variation.

The Bob Ross of miniature painting right here folks :)

"... and paint bravley the podcast :))))"

That cobblestone base technique is 1000 IQ. But seeing the knife come out, and then a bandaid go on reminds us that even Brent “Goobertown” Hobbies is a mortal man.

Just the message I needed to hear today. I lost my father in law in November and my poor mother in law was admired to hospital on Christmas eve with a broken hip. Time to hunker down and try to get everyone across the finish line. Stay safe everyone, over 43'000 cases of Covid reported today here in the UK.

Thanks for this. I've been struggling a lot with mental health recently and the end of this year has been especially hard. Your videos are always a bright spot in my week. They are always relaxing, and fun to paint along with.

Definitely works well in context of the rest of the army. Love the yellow :D

They look amazing! Thanks for keeping ME company!

Thank you Brent for being a little part of my slowly fracturing sanity. On my second round of working from home this year and your videos have been a big help to me in the background of my daily grind.

i was actually hesitating on painting my lord ordinator since every other miniature painting youtubers either glazes or wet blends instead of using shades. this video came out on a perfect time.

Still loving the yellow armour. The colour has even turned into one of my favourite colours to use on my own miniatures. Love it!

Thank you for always being a positive light in this darkness. I look forward to each and every video

I would love a terrain and basing video! That's the part of the hobby I struggle most to conceptualize, and I find myself going overboard with basing decoration.

Thanks for those encouraging words

Enjoy the time, stay healthy and Happy New Year!

Something about this channel is so motivating. It really puts the pleasant enjoyment back into the hobby.

Thank you Brent. Goobertown has not only been a nice source of hobby inspiration and motivation, but a good positive place to chill that has helped my mental health a lot during this last year that has been so brutal for so many. I have 6 or so various hobby projects that seem to have all slowed down and fallen by the wayside, and I feel motivated to try and jump start them and view the remaining covid times as a hobby opportunity instead of just counting down the days until post-vaccine times. It's good to look forward to the light at the end of the tunnel, but thank you for reminding me to look out for positive opportunities in the journey along the way and live a little happier in the moment as well.

I like the orange shield... like ancient Greek art :)

You are always so positive in your videos Goober. I so appreciate that. I love how the purple turned out and the stark blue looks great.

You are so cheerful and kind. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. I wish you the best.

Just want to say you have been a massive inspiration for me, both for the hobby and my mental health , thank you so much. and good luck with the slaves to darkness army. i look forward to seeing the progress.

All the best in getting this army finished. Looking forward to seeing them done as I love your scheme!

Love to see you painting a big army project like this Brent!!! Great job on these two "oids", I think you really did a good job of Painting Bravely!!! (the podcast)

Love your painting tips (pink undercoat! Colorful skin!), your little jokes, and your good attitude! Thanks for the video, Brent! 🤗

"give my air compressor a chance to grab a drink and a snack"...reference to a certain channel about science and futurism, perhaps? One of my favorite channels on youtube.

"favorite rocks for smashing" Great tips for toning down clashing colors, thanks for the awesome video and encouragement through the dark Winter!

I really havt to say that your positive attitude is really rubbing off. I’m happy that someone can point out some positive facts in these dark times. Love the video and I hope you bless us with your yellow warriors again soon

HAPPY FESTIVUS!! After the airing of grievances and feats of strengths comes the painting of figures.

Dude. I'm doing this too. Been printing BFG, Epic, and Warmaster stuff and am now building and painting like crazy. I figured that this is the perfect time to crank out a bunch of armies.

Your videos have such a lovely vibe. Thanks so much for sharing your work with the world :)

That turquoise blue with the orange of the armour looks great. Especially great when he's amongst the troops. The purple is lovely too, it's a lovely natural shade that doesn't look like a dead,, flesh purple which I always fall into the trap of doing without looking bright Genestealery. Lovely positive comments too. I'm in agreement, as someone who suffers from mental health problems this year and Christmas has been especially tough, but having the mindset of having more hobby time is getting me through as well as the support of the family I can see and through good ole goobers like yourself. You're a good guy man and many aswell as me appreciate what you do, maybe more than you know. So cheers from here in the UK.

Yeah I am so happy to see this video and so happy to be one of the first persons here. Enjoying the content as usual it's awesome. Loving the amazing painting

Another really encouraging video, thanks Brent. The one thing I'd say about your plan is 'stay connected' - get on calls with your friends, family and hobby collaborators regularly, or even as you paint; sometimes even silent solidarity has power. Thanks again for all your work on the channel, looking forward to more videos from you as we head into the new year.

Thanks Brent! You've inspired me to finally paint a graveyard golem I've had laying around

Hey Goober! I dont even paint or play Warhammer ect. But I find these videos of yours soothing and relaxing :D Might I say yer the Bob Ross of model painting?(maybe you have heard that before?) Yes, yes I would :) Keep it buddy! :D

Canadian winter is a great time to paint for sure, I've been hitting my box of shame pretty hard. Happy Holidays!

I found my way to your channel from Real Terrain Hobbies and I stayed for the voice overs. Your voice is so soothing. You are like the Bob Ross of mini painting. Thanks for entertaining and relaxing content.

Good stuff Brent. Paint bravely!

I also like to paint bravely: the podcast

Hi Brent, i just wanted to leave a comment for you as recently you’ve really helped me out a lot. This might be a long but it’s kind of a big thank you for what you do, and how much you’ve helped me grow as a painter. At the start of this year before the pandemic my love for warhammer returned, after 8 years I finally wanted to get back into the hobby! And I did! The journey from then to now has been great, I’ve learnt to take care of my brushes, how to thin my paints and different techniques such as dry brushing or edge highlighting. I’m definitely not talented but I am proud of what I’m able to do. For the the last few months I’ve been on a small break whilst I wait to afford some new paints and brushes and other supplies but I’ve finally gotten those supplies! Mentally things have been hard but I took things easy and I made sure to play your videos whilst I painted, you’ve really helped me to grow my confidence and to try new things. It’s okay if my work isn’t like someone else’s, it’s mine and as long as I’m proud of it then that’s all that matters. I’ll keep learning and trying my best to improve! But your videos were a great help to me, I had trouble dealing with the anxiety and fear of messing up for a while so I want to thank you for being a calming voice in my ear whilst I paint my minis. Today was an important day for me especially, I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety recently from starting a new job and finally having the capability to paint again. Your soothing videos really helped ease the anxiety however, today I took it easy and slow and just painted what I loved. I took inspiration from your video on how to choose colours, and used my space marines as a little testing ground I guess. I don’t have much love for space marines but I do want to use them, so today I painted one up and I just felt pride at what I accomplished. Your videos continue to be a great help to me and many others and I’m so thankful for every thing you do. I’ve recently ordered some howling banshees and Incubi which I can’t wait to paint! Although I still need to figure out what colours speak to me most! Right now I thought a mix of dark red and gold would be perfect whilst utilising some wonderful tesseract green for any glowing areas or eyes! I’m also going to try paint some white too! As last time sadly didn’t go so well. Anyway away from that tangent I just want you to know that what you do is inspiring to me beyond what I can describe, it’s a sense of calming and happiness. That everything will be okay and I shouldn’t judge myself too harshly. Thank you Brent, for your amazing content and your willingness to help out other painters and teach new things. P.S I’m not sure if this was very coherent or if it was fine! But I hope I got the message across. Again thank you Brent you really are a much needed part of this community who I’m very grateful for.

wow you make painting minis look so easy and awesome

This is the wholesome hobby content I needed this morning. Keep on being you, Brent, and we'll be here to watch and be inspired.

I always feel like Brent is talking directly to me

best wishes for you and your loved ones,and thanks for another year of tutorials and cool vids

Hi from non lockdown during summer over in new New Zealand keep painting homies

I LOVED watching you paint these! Please do more painting videos of whatever it is you’re painting!

'Hangout in Ventrillo' - things you never hear in 2021 :P

The army is looking great, Im glad you paint bravely-the podcast, and kept that orange.

Hype for the rest of the army!

That Slave to Darkness scheme is sick, if I didn't have Imperial Fists already I would consider a similar scheme. Fair play!

I love that paint scheme! I'm glad you didn't go back on it and made it work.

Thank you for all your awesome and inspirational videos! Currently doing a hobby hibernation of my own up north here in Canada and your videos and podcast are a regular source of inspiration for me. Heck, I even started my own hobby blogsite a few months back because I realized that life is too short, and I love this hobby too much to not share the joy it gives me. Thank you!

Man, I forgot Ventrilo was even a thing.

I absolutely love the blood spatter on the fomoroid.

Such optimism in this video! Admirable.

Well I've got an entire army of unpainted Tau models and 2 primed but unpainted boxes of Slaves to Darkness, so I guess now's a good a time as any to paint them! Silver linings!

Winter and lockdown. I’ve never been more productive!

I love these blends and how you worked up from some vibrant darker colors. I think watching you and Jon is getting me more into fantasy than just Kill Team/ 40k / Underworlds.

Remember to listen to some Basshunter when hanging out on ventrilo and playing a little DOTA.

*Looks outside, sees snow and ice outside....* Time to break out the tile grout and make some sandy bases for my Imperial Guard.

As rough as 2020 was I did get a lot of painting done, and starting a youtube channel really helped! Lots of hobby plans for 2021 already, so I'm excited to get started!

Watching this during the 2021 Winter Solstice was oddly comforting :)

Old sprue can easily be chopped up to use as bricks and other detritus! As for spacing, I recommend cutting a piece of cardstock or plasticard to your desired width, then you can do your first cobblestone line in the middle of the base, and use it to space out the brick rows in either direction. If you use plasticard you can even then use that to do the perpendicular brick hatching.

Love the purple one

Love the Purple People Eater Brent! Keep it up. I think your orange would make great fur if you need to tie in any other monsters into your army.

Wow its actually happening! a full army!

3:57 - Pecs and tum-tums. Dr Brent is not only a PhD chemist, but a grim-dark physiologist. ;-)

This channel is wholesome as always, thanks for getting me into this hobby

Lovely and wholesome as allways and great company when painting. You and some other minimodel people can really Keep you entertained even more whilst sitting for hours in a studio painting. Keep up the good job and happy hollydays to everyone

Love the contrast between the yellow and blue/purple. Can't wait to see the completed army!

Just realized that you are the channel I always come back to. When I feel down in my hobby or in general. Your voice has a wholesomeness ( Not sur if this word exist I don't speak that much of English ) that fills me with tranquility. Thanks a lot for your painting tutorials and your general humanity, you warm my heart. Props also for being one of those thumb god airbrushes that Angel Giraldez talked as being transcendent humans xD

These two models look amazing Brent! I love the blood spatter effect, really cool

Merry Christmas and happy new year Brent! May we all paint bravely the podcast in these dark days of doom.

The best part of this army is amazing orange monster, sometimes called CAT :)

12:42 - cat yawns after 22 hours of happy hobby hibernation time.

For the bases, if you don't like rollers, you might take a look at stamps instead. They tend to be a pretty good option for things like bricks where it's a pattern. You might also consider things like curb, drains, and sewer grates in addition to or instead of things piled onto the bases with some of them. Curbs are relatively easy, take a piece of cereal box card and cut it to the basic shape you want it to have and glue it on, using that as a place to build the sidewalk and curb up above the street level that you'd do as normal.

12:40 the most powerfull warrior roars his/her units into battle!!!

Thanks for the video Sir, happy holiday to you too!

What an amazing army, and fantastic video. You have smashed it out of the park with this one!

Just wanted to take this time to let you know that you are awesome. :) You are the Bob Ross and Mr. Rodgers of miniatures.

Yeah finished a massive part of my guard army and added a whole new hunk to it and got the awesome Valkyrie kit

Always love the painting vids and hope to see more 3d printing. Thanks for uploading!
