Painting on Drugs!

[FramFramson]

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.

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

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

Yes, those neurosurgeons can get on your nerves!

I was just leaving.......

[Mr.Marx]

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.

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.

[beefcake]

Yep, just wow. 

[Centaur_Seducer]

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...

[Too Bo Coo]

yikes...

And i thought the advice to use my beard trimmings to add texture to oil paintings was odd...

Such a fun thread.

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.

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.
