It's not what you think... :D
Got a wisdom tooth taken our yesterday and well, after moaning in pain like a 12 year-old girl with a skinned knee, the doctor went to pains to tell me that he's giving me codene for 2 days for the pain and then onto ibuprofen, but he hardly ever proscribes the codene....lol
So home now for a few days, slept about 18 hours and then tried to paint some SAGA levy. Let's just say my highlights are not totally consistent... But I think I wont fix anything because they do have a certain charm themselves. Mind you, I have painkillers in me right now :o
Anyhoo, just curious if anyone else with an injury, surgery, etc on a painkiller ever tried to give a go at the ol' paintbrush.
Cheers!

When I broke my ankle last summer I had a few similar days.
...you are just laying around in a daze... o_o....and it sure seems like wasted time where you could be painting! So I gave it a try too...Not great results...and I was painfully slow and deliberate with every brush stroke. I would also drift off from time to time and find dried paint on my brush when i went to apply it... ::) Basically it was a sad scene all around. I quickly retired to the couch and watched more Archer on netflix...now painting on Pain killers may not be great but Archer was hilarious... lol
...of course I could watch it all over again now because I don't remember it very well for some reason... o_o but it sure was funny at the time...
Cheers,

Cheers :D After trying to shade 3 tunics I decided to give it a rest and just watch films....

I'm sorry to hear about your tooth and hope you get to feeling better soon.

Well back in college one night many moons ago, I was working on an art project painting and drinking margaritas. Well after a pitcher or two I had the urge to paint the Yellow Submarine by the Beetles on the bathroom wall that was a deep blue. The next morning there it was, a masterfully rendered 3' long Yellow Submarine right in front of the toilet. :o
I know it wasn't a gaming mini but its the closest story I had to share.

Well, when I was much younger, I once decided to do a self-portrait with pencil n ink... after the better part of a bottle of wine, and at about three in the morning. The result was surprisingly lifelike, but it looked as if I had drawn a drunk, sleep-deprived guy for some reason :)

Ow, I had two wisdom teeth out a couple of years back. First one popped out in 30s, the second though 20minutes of wrenching and sawing as it had hooked backwards. Then it ruptured through to my sinus cavity so blowing a balloon would have been an impossibility as there was basically a hole through to my nose from my mouth. I had some good pain killers then, that was sore (not as bad as the 1cm kidney stone I had though)

(not as bad as the 1cm kidney stone I had though)
Holy cripes that's a biggun! :o
-
lol yep. Want to know how they got rid of it? I'll put it in tiny text so if you don't want to know you don't need to read (it might make you cringe)
They had to enter through the urine's exit hole and crush it, then pull it out. Looked like I was peeing cranberry juice.

Not painting related, but in a similar vein, following my vasectomy and discharge from hospital, my three year old thought it would be a good idea to run head first into daddy for a get out of hospital hug. No drugs on earth save cyanide could take the edge off that! :o

You know, nobody who's had kidneystones or gallstones out has ever followed my advice of making them into dice.

But, but, but, that would mean people would be rolling stones.........
I left my coat handy....

Amazing enough those are sometimes brittle (why, oh why, are they not brittle enough to pass as some kind of finely filtered sand?) after removed and dried out.

who, when he was a nurse, was a friend of Urologist - maybe the most morbid people - after Neurosurgeons...

Yeah, that's how they had to do for my dad when he had 'em.

Yes, those neurosurgeons can get on your nerves!
I was just leaving....... :D
-
Haha. What an odd thead.
For my part; I've been on a hefty course of medication for about two years now to treat a long term condition that effects my nervous system.
Some of the stuff I'm on blocks or reduces nerve signals, which has had a terrible effect on my ability to paint and model. It was rather odd. My depth perception was knocked off considerably, and I had lost just about all of the fine motor skill needed for painting.
That said, I've found that over time I've become better and better at compensating for my wibbly-wobbly-butter-figure hands, to the point that I can more or less paint and wield blades as well as I used to - although I still find it incredibly tiring.
MM.

I tried sculpting while on pain killers for a displaced lower rib from playing rugby. All I can say is that they had to go in the bin. I should also show some of the pictures of sculpts I have done when falling asleep.

In my youth, I had to paint half my army for a tourney the night before the start. However, our club has this rather silly tradition of hosting a great "drink as much as you can until you throw up"-parties before this particular party. So, being young and easily seduced into sinful behaviour, half my army was painted in a horrible daze. To make the whole thing sparkle of superb workmanship, my even more intoxicated mates decided to base some minis for me.
And when we ran out of static grass, one tried the theory of cutting of pubic hairs and painting it green. Since it looked so good at the time, about 20 or so miniatures had that special version of static grass.

As someone who after falling from a horse aged 15(me not the horse) and subsequently displacing 3 discs; then involving my self in either physical work and or hobbies; and now in middle age I am on drugs all the time...I of course still work, I am just in a state of constant background pain,I call my chronic pain 'my little friend'. This may however explain my painting style,and I dare say that a few of us who are middle aged are in the same boat,as it were.

Oh wow.
-
Yep, just wow. lol
-
Oh wow.
I shouldn't mentiom that this is sort of a tradition? At least two armies, with the static grass au natural, has won best painted on the biggest tourney...
-
yikes...

And i thought the advice to use my beard trimmings to add texture to oil paintings was odd...
-
Such a fun thread. :D
I was on pain killers for a back injury for about five months, which did not seem to effect my ability to build terrain or paint. I reckon I did my best painting back then.
Went away for a boys weekend but had to leave a strip club because of a kidney stone. Spent the rest of the night rolling around on a motel bed and spewing up while the lads were having lap dances. Next night I was back to normal having a few drinks painting the town red. :D
-
i went for a night out recently and got very drunk and just a little bit higher than is acceptable.i tried to finish a lino cut i hd started beforehand when i got home at around 4 oclock....i had to start again.
-
Last time I got drunk (a few weeks ago) I got it my head to sculpt a wine bottle stopper in the shape of a woman's head and torso. Got about as far as bulking up the armature before I started feeling pukey and had to put myself to bed. Next day while sober, the idea still seemed like a good one (though the blocking I'd done while drunk was kinda malproportioned), but I want to hold off and finish it while drunk. Just to see how it would turn out, y'know? I actually remember having that thought while I was working on it: wondering with genuine interest how being drunk would effect my sculpting, and that such curiosity was as much my motivation as the idea of the object itself.
-
I often feel dizzy confused and weak for medical reasons. This leads to some pretty dodgy painting quite often and very very slow painting, I can spend hours on a poorly painted face. Often this in the form of accidentally painting over what I have already done with another colour because I am shaky or my hand has slipped. This ended up when trying to paint a white head cloth to one of my Ashigaru looking like a plasterers radio.

Connectamabob, it's actually a surprisingly popular research project "How do I perform X task under the influence of Y"?
The amount of google results I found looking for this one: http://www.openculture.com/2013/10/artist-draws-nine-portraits-on-lsd-during-1950s-research-experiment.html (http://www.openculture.com/2013/10/artist-draws-nine-portraits-on-lsd-during-1950s-research-experiment.html) was actually rather disturbing...
Oh and this one: http://www.trinity.edu/jdunn/spiderdrugs.htm (http://www.trinity.edu/jdunn/spiderdrugs.htm)
There seems to be a rather high level of "hold my beer and watch this" amongst certain parts of the scientific community....

Painting on Drugs! "It's not what you think..."
Actually, it's exactly what I thought. There was a period where I seemed to need a different major operation every two years. Once, what I thought was natal-only, an epidural, became my best friend for five days.
However, I wish mightily I'd seen this thread earlier.
'Geese, how do you paint on those tiny tablets?'

Scary part, I've seen pills (Prilosec?) that look like the photon torpedoes from Star Trek II...
