I'd been going through a tough time lately. The books were dropping thick and fast and I was having to dedicate extra hours to the painting table just to make sure I wouldn't get evicted from Adepticon. As I was completing my 7th edge highlight of my Glutton's armour plate, my wife told me that I was spending too much time painting and she wasn't sure if she could make it work anymore. I didn't know where to turn. Then I discovered this video, learned the Slap Chop method, and within a day my entire Ogor army was done, and my marriage was saved. Thank you Mr Robert sir. I'll let you know if Adepticon evicts me.

@gangsterspairofdice1037 2 года назад

Slapchop expressionism is a modernist movement, initially in tweeting and painting, originating in Northern England around the beginning of the 21th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas by the quickest means possible. Slapchop Expressionist artists have sought to express the meaning of emotional experience rather than physical reality.

@TheHonestWargamer 2 года назад

I've screencapped this

@gangsterspairofdice1037 2 года назад

By a complete coincidence it looks remarkably like the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article on expressionism.

@marksutherlandjr.2121 2 года назад

Hahaha, this comment is fkn GOLD!

@JohnPelagides 2 года назад

The SlapChop modern expressionism painting style really comes alive when the mini is engaged in the throes of battle. The emotional response is fully realized by the viewer of such works and not forced. The viewer is given the Freedom to feel one’s true emotions.

Before this video and the countless other videos singing Slapchop praises, I would stare at my pile of unpainted silver and grey shame... some going back over 35 years. I would chip away at this pile with some models taking a month to paint.... Now with Slapchop my method of choice I just finished painting 8 models in a day and that for me is a miracle. Yes, I still focus on the unimportant and generally invisible details but the basics are completed in no time. Thank you, kind sir... I salute you!
