But, sadly, not the norm...

Be careful what you wish for. The local news channel's weatherman is a fish-belly white 50-something who must be pushing 300 pounds. You do you, but topless Chuck isn't likely to help ratings any.

How do you feel about Pontefract cakes?

My own confession is that I dislike anime or anything by Studio Ghibli.

I love painting minis but i'm not very good at it.

They're great, but really hard to find in my town for some reason. :-/

It's a cliche to tell you you'll get better with time and practice, but I'll say it anyway. As long as you're enjoying the process that's really what matters, and it's common not to realize you've improved a lot. The first time I realized I'd gotten better was when someone asked me to paint their PC for them. Only took about eight years...

I hate it. I wish there was some middle ground between featureless gray and taking up a full time hobby or paying handcrafted goods prices.

There is, but it's not very cost-effective.

HeroForge.com can 3D-print your custom minis in full color...no need to paint them. They aren't as detailed, and the colors aren't as vibrant, but they're definitely in the middle ground you describe. And they're like $30 each, so....ka-ching.

EDIT: Sorry, I was mistaken. Full-color printed plastic minis are $45 apiece. Plus shipping.

Damn that’s a lotta scratch for a single mini.
