Hi, I'm starting my own page for 40k stuff. Most tyranids and some Space Marines. I have won multiple 1st prices for my conversions and paint job, i really want to share my pictures with other Tyranid enthusiasts!
I'm not very old and i have only painted warhammer miniatures for 3 years. Please comment and watch my video, hope you enjoy!

That's apparent. Supersize size font is great for titles and headers, but when I see a whole post of it, I tend to think it's spam, advertising, or a botched attempt at 'hype.'

My advice is to let your work speak for itself. Introduce yourself (how long you've been painting, what you started on, maybe a pic of early work), then post several pictures of current work (scrrenies from the video work well enough), then link (or embed) your video with a brief description of what's in it. All in regular size font. I'd certainly have been more receptive to that style of self promotion, and think others will be too.

EDIT: From the pic, your painting appears top notch, though I didn't view the video.

Here is my first video! Hope you enjoy

Looks good. I'll check the video out when I get home.

Sorry Rakuall, im new here so im glad to get as many advices as possible. I changed the things you didnt lik and i hope my post is readable now (at least).
I would be overweld if you knew how to minimize pictures because i think the one i have takes way too much space! Please, if you know. Help me. You seem to have knowledge of the general stuff arround here.
Regards
Niko!

Niko, to resize pictures you need to use photo-editing software like Photoshop or something like OR I believe most photo-hosting sites (like photobucket) has a tool that allows to to reduce the size.
You should aim for sizes no bigger than 1200 pixels in any direction.

also, while it's a cool shot and shows some good painting skills, to doesn't show the rest of the model. I would recommend trying to emulate the photos that GW posts - full shots so you can see all of the model - close ups like this are best if you want to show a particular part or a specific paint area.

[N.I.B.]

We have a painting forum.

Your video is too quick. Every second a new rotating snapshot while slowly paning/zooming the old just makes it hard to focus on anything. I can however say that yes you have some painted Tyranids, and that there was some neat conversions.

I actually kinda like the 'Baraka" blades on your Swarmy.

Yes you definitely need to slow down the pictures in the video and have less of them. While they look good from a distance (and at high speed) you really want people to be able to take in the details of it.

[NikosWorkshop]

Haha. The video was more like a trailer or a sneak peak. Im young and untallented in IT world. So I hope you like further posts! Thank you for your constuctic response.
Regards
Niko!

Id suggest you take this thread to painting. There are some over there, like Evan Quinn and such that can give you better heads up on painting, etc.
