But does it really matter? If you think you can strip or touch up a model you want, who cares how it is described? Most people will judge a model from the picture, rather than a description of its paint job anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4776940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4776940.page GMT Ebay people stretching the truth(painting wise) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4776948.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4776948.page GMT Ebay people stretching the truth(painting wise)

On topic - while the term is over-used, ultimately 'Pro-painted' simply means that the miniature was painted by someone who paints miniatures for money. It's not an indication of any particular level of quality... that's what the pictures are for.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4776958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4776958.page GMT Ebay people stretching the truth(painting wise) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4776969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4776969.page GMT Ebay people stretching the truth(painting wise) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4777044.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4777044.page GMT Re:Ebay people stretching the truth(painting wise) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4777162.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4777162.page GMT Re:Ebay people stretching the truth(painting wise)

In wargamong context it is also indicates a certain standard.


It really doesn't. People misinterpret it, but that doesn't change what it actually means.


And even if you do take it to mean 'painted to a high standard' that standard is going to be different for everyone. I've seen small gaming groups wowed by paintjobs by that 'one guy' in the group who is a better painter then the rest, when in reality it's a fairly bog-standard paintjob. And I've seen gamers dismiss 'Eavy Metal and Golden Demon winning paintjobs as crap.

It's all subjective. No matter how you try to limit the use of the term, the moment you try to impose arbitrary limits on when someone is allowed to call their work 'good' someone is going to disagree with where you draw that line.

Calling your work 'pro-painted' when it isn't very good does nothing more than show people that your work isn't very good. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4777214.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4777214.page GMT Ebay people stretching the truth(painting wise) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4777433.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4777433.page GMT Ebay people stretching the truth(painting wise) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4796325.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4796325.page GMT Ebay people stretching the truth(painting wise) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4796588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476932/4796588.page GMT Ebay people stretching the truth(painting wise)
IMO there are no pro painters just peope who paint either in exchange for goods or services or not.

Sorry guys, but you're wrong in this case. To say that something is "professionally painted" indicates a certain level of skill. This is not a matter of "subjectivity" or money exchanging hand.


There are two core definitions of the term 'professional'... One of them relates to the quality of the work. The other simply relates to whether or not the work was done as a means of making money.


Otherwise I could claim my own paint jobs a such just cause a friend gave me a few bucks to prime, wash and dry some of his extras for a little brother.

And if you earnt more doing that than through any other work you do, that would be correct.

On a vaguely related note, it turns out you can also call yourself a 'published author' if you scrawl a poem on a napkin and give it to someone.
