A GamingTrend contributor recently detailed the arduous process of painting a display-level Onslaught miniature for Marvel Crisis Protocol. The project became a significant mental challenge, leading the artist to experience imposter syndrome and burnout while comparing their work to established professionals like Sorastro and Jonathan Ho.
The artist advises keeping the model in three separate pieces—the body, base, and energy wave—to ensure better access to intricate details. Technical errors, such as improper gap filling and a botched attempt to use a pin as a handle, complicated the assembly. The creator eventually had to modify the base to attach the figure, resulting in an accidental floating effect.
To achieve the desired look, the painter utilized a palette of Bear Cavalry magentas and purples, accented with Kimera Velvets for highlights. After struggling with light placement and excessive shine, the artist used matte varnish and black-and-white photography to diagnose volume issues. Glazing with oranges and yellows eventually corrected the chest's appearance.
The project concluded after the artist moved the model outdoors to view true colors, ultimately finding satisfaction in the result. The author suggests that hobbyists should prioritize reference art over social media comparisons and engage with supportive communities to combat the isolation often felt during demanding painting projects.
