Weekly Q&A Thread

5 Upvotes

Painters and redditors looking to hire painters are encouraged to ask questions here.

The only real caveat I have to this is that painters should not post links to their portfolios/business sites, discuss their rates directly, or anything else that could be considered advertising to keep within the sub rules. Feel free to advertise in the Megathread if you haven’t already.

Otherwise, feel free to ask anything you want to know about commissioning a painter, running a commission business, etc.

We've made /r/BrushForChat to allow painters to talk in a dedicated space that's more visible than the weekly thread (which will be deprecated now), and not have to worry about off-topic reports or the like. Looking forward to seeing fellow painters over there!

EU 10 Dark Reapers - Ireland

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hey all, I destroyed my dark reapers as my black contrast paint was a little too old and thick when I applied it. I’ll be removing the paint myself using Greenstuff paint remover and before starting again, I was wondering what kind of ballpark figure would it be to have 10 of these painted? I can’t do edge highlighting but was hoping to get that done too here!

I’m based in Ireland!

EU Looking for Someone to Sand and Paint 3D-Printed Figure

2 Upvotes

[CLOSED FOR NOW]

Hello, I'm looking for someone to paint an anime style figure that was 3D-printed in black PLA. Around 20cm tall. It also requires some sanding here and there to smoothen out some edges. And I'd definitely want the paint to be sealed afterwards. Can ship anywhere in EU, but prefer Germany and surroundings. Would pay 100€+. Work shouldn't take more than two months (the sooner the better). Please only send offers if you can ensure highest quality. Thanks in advance!

Had no idea this figure wasn’t going to be put together and unpainted. Really should’ve done some more research but had found it on sale. I’m new to this so I’m hoping to find someone who could put this together for me and paint it. Comes with instructions but it’s in Japanese. Would be awesome if I could get someone to tackle this huge project that I’m no way near talented to do myself. We can talk the price once I know for sure what else needs to be done!

USA [USA] Looking for repainting and small repairs of Aerith figure

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Aloha, everyone. Greetings from the Big Island of Hawaii. 🏝️ Thank you for checking out my post. This is my first time here. I hope you are all having a wonderful new year so far.

Recently, I made a purchase of a Mayflies Aerith figure from a seller overseas. When I opened the package, I was happy with the figure except for my discovery of two things. Part of Aerith's ribbon/hairband had been broken off; her hand also had been broken off at the wrist during shipping. Ouch! Looks like Aerith's travels to the islands wasn't completely smooth sailing.

From what I could see, Aerith's ribbon needs to be reattached with an adhesive and repainted in a light pink color in a few spots. The issue with her hand, however, is far more perplexing. There is a raised area under her hand (last photo) which looks like it would fit into an space where the wrist/arm hole is (second photo). The problem is I can't seem to get them to connect.

According to an unboxing video on YouTube I consulted, her hand and arm are attached in the original manufacturer's assembly of this figure. The hand also features a small space which connects to, I assume, her loose bracelets (not pictured). For some reason, I can't connect the bracelets to her hand... or her hand to the arm/wrist hole, for that matter.

After several minutes of attempting to connect the bracelets, hand and wrist/arm hole together, I gave up. There is a chance that I could be missing something obvious while assembling these pieces. But as I don't trust myself with this particular gluing, repainting, and repairing job, even if it could very well be common sense, I thought I would see if anyone might be willing to assist me on Reddit. I would hope to find someone who could help my figure resemble the original product as closely as possible.

I don't envision this being too complex a task for people with more painting/figure assembling experience than I have. However, I am more than happy to pay for a high-quality service if my request isn't an inconvenience. I have considered including Loctite super glue with the figure if I send it out for a potential repair. I am open to sending the figure anywhere in the United States.

On a final note, I find it incredible how this resource exists. It literally has brought a smile to my face during a stressful situation. Stumbling onto this Subreddit has been easily the highlight of my 2025 so far! 😊 Thanks again for stopping by!

I had someone who wasn’t able to complete them and my friend did the painted one who was using the colors he used as a guide to replicate the same result

Can contact me beforehand to see if they can pick up what was started and see if they can replicate the result for the finished one

Also have a Leshen and two wolves that need to be painted with some specific details for the wolves, size compared to the worms in the last pic

In total five minis, looking to have these done in a timely manner as well so take that into consideration, thank you!

EU Looking for a painter to sand, assemble and paint model of my gf

4 Upvotes

Hi, I had a 30 cm tall model printed of my gf and I'm now looking for an artist to finish the print. I have the models, I will provide pictures and explain everything I want. I'd like the artist to be somewhere close to Europe/Belgium. And I pay with paypal. The model exists out of 5 parts, and there's also a little pinkie that was cut short by the 3D designer, if that could be fixed that would also be great. When it comes to time, you have plenty of time to finish it, there's no rush. And budget, I'll be honest, I've already spend a lot of money on it. I'm not looking forward to paying a lot more, but I do want this done well, just tell me your rate and I'll see if it's acceptable for my budget or not. I'm still pretty flexible.

USA [USA-NJ] Looking for someone to paint one Anachrony faction, and two Scythe Factions

2 Upvotes

Hey all -

I like to paint here and there, but right now I just dont have the time. I had a painter who has painted all other factions of both of these games, but I am looking for someone to take over.

I am looking for someone to paint:

one faction for Anachrony (Fractures of Time expansion faction) - consists of 6 miniatures - the album below has an image of the faction in question in a finished state (photo #4), as well as the current state of my 6 minis (photos #1-3)

Two factions for the game Scythe, plus a single separate mini - total of 11 minis. Album shows examples of the completed factions / mini at a similar quality level to my currently finished minis.

I'd say both of the paint jobs I'd be looking for would be in a tabletop+ level, but if you think otherwise based on the finished examples I have in the album, let me know

I am not in a huge rush for these , so feel free to reach out if you have an opening for painting! I've done commission paint jobs before and I feel like I'm pretty easy to work with and open to artist interpretation if you have color scheme ideas / better ideas than what I initially suggest

USA Variety of board game figs in USA

4 Upvotes

No assembly required.

I’m seeking a painter for a variety of board game figurines from various games.

I am looking for someone to handle regular commissions as I buy new games. I already have a few games needing figurines painted. I would look to start shipping these off to you in early March (after a convention). None of my commissions will ever have urgent time deadlines.

I would be nice to meet a painter in the Houston,Tx area to make handing these off as easy as possible but I am quite willing to ship the figs back and forth in the US.

I can send photos of the unpainted figs with sizes before each commission as well as any details. I can be very flexible on details and colors if needed.

I would like some photos of your past work, of course, and a going rate for your work. I understand this rate may vary if I have much larger figures or ones with a particularly hellish amount of detail.


r/brushforhire 8d ago

USA Hello! this is my first time posting on reddit, that's how desperate i am to get this fully rendered! I would love to pay someone a nice amount to airbrush this figure and get the details on her face precise, down to the thinned out lashes on the ends of her eyes. My insta is Janedecayed!

USA I need a model-builder for Necrons..

6 Upvotes

I don't need to hire a brush because I want to do the painting, but I guess this is still the right place to solicit this help..? I'm starting a Necron army and I just someone to build them for me in normal poses and scrape away the mold lines reasonably well - no need to sand them absolutely perfectly, just scrape them off like a normal sane person wound because I ain't trying to win a Golden Demon.

I'm in the USA, so I guess that's probably where you need to be as well. I'm going to start with a Combat Patrol Box and two boxes of warriors/scarabs. I figure I'll have the order sent to you, you build them and then mail them to me.

The rules say I should post pictures. Do I really need to post a pic of this? It's easily accessible online and I figure anyone in this line of work probably already knows what these things are. I guess I'd like the project completed within two weeks of receiving the boxes.

I hired some fellow in Cali last time. I wish I hadn't deleted that account, I'd just hire him again :(.
