🎨 Merahkuningminis’ Minipainting Journal Volume 1: Painting Miniature Figures During the Pandemic "Then it came, the decision that perhaps a lot of minipainting hobbyists dread – to turn my hobby into a job." 🎨 Synopsis: Miniature painting is a geek subculture where people build, assemble, and paint miniatures– small toy figures usually depicting characters from a fantasy, sci-fi, or historical setting. As someone who has picked up the hobby of miniature painting as a de-stress activity and an art activity in my leisure time, the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has forced me to turn my hobby into a freelance job, being affected career-wise. With the job description of working with clients who wanted to pay someone to paint their miniatures, my new career path had the expected effect of forcing myself to push my miniature painting skills further and to improve faster.
