This is basically what I think when I see people on eBay writing about how great their army paintjobs are, but only provide obscure/ far off photos of their models.

Come on, do you really think people are going to fall for that?

The sad thing is that, yes, people are stupid enough to fall for blurry pictures and words in an ad.

I will sell my painting services, and I rank my work at slightly better than tabletop quality. I won a few local competitions, but considering the competition, I dont consider it anything great.

So what I usually do is promise to paint so many figs at table top quality within a certain time frame, and maybe put more effort into an HQ or something.

Most of the time, I am happy to trade for painting....ya know, so more models of the things I like, or a bunch of bits or even some old broken models that are fixable with some effort.

I just mostly do it because I enjoy the hobby, not because I am out to make money off of it. =D
