Not to get Deep here on Mini Primetime but. Thank you from the bottom of my little tremor-filled heart for having Taliesin on and addressing shaky hands! My DM really wants to have a mini-painting night but I've been too afraid to try. I have a tremor (and tourettes and epilepsy lmao) so I figured I just couldn't. But now I promise to give it a try. Thank you thank you thank you 💕
i also struggle with ETs, and Tourettes as well (though you've got me beat with the epilepsy.. that's my brother's thing lol)
and i'm with you; have never even really considered trying to do things like this that require fine detail work, but hey, now... maybe.
I’m sure there are other tactics too. If these don’t work, don’t get discouraged, look for something else!
So glad you now have more courage in attempting mini painting and finding a method that will hopefully aid you.
Kiersten Anderson: Can you promise to tell us how it goes? I'm super excited!
Bryan Shepard I promise!! My DM sent me the link to this specifically, so I know that no matter how it turns out, everyone supports me!
I used to be a serious painter, but I quit as my essential tremor worsened with age. It was just too frustrating. I can't believe I'd never heard of the rubber band trick, because it immediately makes a HUGE difference. My handwriting is actually legible for once! It's been almost 10 years since I last painted anything, and now I'm really excited to give it another chance.
That’s wonderful
I'm so excited for you! That's wonderful!
I'm really happy for you.
YOU GO, SUMMER ROSE
Summer Rose: as we get older and we lose some of our dexterity, hopefully the wisdom that comes with age compensates. I say that everyday as I pick up the tenor sax again after a 19 year long break. Great to hear that this can work for you. I also tie very small flies for fly fishing and this is just the technique to help me with some more delicate and small tools and materials.
I love the fact that Tallesin could actually answer the married to Laura Bailey question since Percy and Vex
Wow I didn't get that til you said but he literally is married to her on graph paper.....lol
Coinshot Skimmer oh my gosh, I get it now, thank you!
Best subtle gag is that he got Taliesin's name right.
Well... his *earthly* name...
"Marisha, are we cancelled?"
After a heartwarming episode, that was a terrifying finale.
Oh gods... I just started and now I'm scared.
this is the most fazed taliesin has been in 300 years.
Sir, I believe you're missing a few zeros.
I think you'll find that it is more then just a few zero's my good sir
That's what he wants you to think, anyway...
It's most likely because of the medicine he uses for his hands. No doubt he came prepared and was scared fuck up
@@yamahsghost If you remember , he was fazed by The Swedish coast being devastated by the Imperial Russian Fleet in the Russian Pillage of 1719-21.
Addressing Tal's tremor and making it all about accessibility makes me SO FREAKING HAPPY. Thank you for this episode, my heart is warm.
Right???
That was a huge bonus and made Taliesin so happy!
Tal's nervousness and hand shakes are relateable for so may of us, and he role plays so well for every characters
He also showed many ways to REDUCE the tremors while you work on your projects, which was pretty cool
I myself have familial tremor exacerbated by adhd medication. It’s annoying especially when I’m under pressure. I just tell people openly and honestly what’s up, and if they give me grief, I just tell em to kick rocks.
The reason Talesin has an essential shake is because he is busy safeguarding all of humanity from the ethereal forces attempting to invade our cosmos. At least 1/4 of his concentration is left over, leaving him with that unsteady hand.
Checks out.
Oh I assumed it was a sign his earthly vessel has trouble containing his ethereal form.
So he is basically Doctor Strange
I thought he is shaking, because he is doing his best to contain his eldritch powers from unleashing upon the world.
I'm a paladin of Talesin and can confirm this
Ngl I was unsure as to how they would work with taliesins tremor but it was really sensitive actually, as someone who gets the shakes the rubber band trick is awesome!! He's so chill I love our immortal dark lord!!!
i think his suggestion may of just changes tallies life too, because that trick will make writing with a pen/pencil far easier for him
Seriously. I love the goofy humour, but it's also nice that they know there's a time and a place for things. Taliesin told them he couldn't paint, so they went out of their way to figure out best methods to let him join in. Gotta love everyone involved in CR
I’m definitely going to be using the rubber band trick this changes everything
Idk it makes me a bit emotional that Will put the effort into showing Tal and all of us viewers with tremors how to overcome it
The show really is about to bring a wonderful hobby to as many people as possible.
I was so thrilled when Will said they'd be covering that
I think he genuinely feared Taliesin taking his soul
HydroM he is the pyramid
we all fear that everyday..
best not to worry about it too much.. ;P
He has no soul to take, peer into his spirit and witness the Laughing Darkness from Beyond the Void.
But he did! He stole his paint and brushes. Talesin alone controls the fate of season 2 now.
Such an awesome moment when Will was showing Tal the techniques to minimize shaky hands when painting. Seeing it work for Tal and seeing his surprise and joy in finding it worked for him was nice.
Hyboirds “that’s nice”
I literally got super emotional and almost cried when I saw how excited Tal was to be able to pick up something he loved again. Will is hilarious, but this also proved he's an amazing friend
Given I have similar issues I look forward to it.
Taliesin looks like such a confused old man the entire intro, I love it
Old? He doesn't look a decade past 500. He's in his prime.
@@JM-db8ez he is in his prime on prime time and it is not mini in any way
"You play the Arizona Tea guy"
omg how have I never put together that Caduceus's aesthetic is literally the green tea can.
Taliesen dammit! You're right
He's a soundcloud rapper
I might be wrong, but I think Taliesin said he was drinking or had a can of Arizona Tea around when he was creating Caduceus
WAT. 😂😭😆
Oh my god, I actually got teary-eyed when Will showed Tal all those tricks to fight his tremors when painting minis. All these people are so kind to each other. Tal is my favourite CR person and I'm so happy for him. This...god...I just love the whole damn cast of CR.
4:35 This is where the video stopped being just fun. This is where it became empowering.
I don't suffer from tremors nor do I paint minis, but to think that this helps even one person desperatly wanting to paint minis... it's a thing of beauty!
Will likes to play the part of asshole, but he's a good dude. That part warmed my heart.
Honestly as someone with a tremor from nerve damage this might have just changed my life a little bit also.
Reading the comments it seems that it has already helped some people ❤️
I have only had tremors that are situationally induced or on very rare occasions but I have had times where painting minis I had trouble steadying my hands for detail work. I will have to remember this and it also gives me my 1st constructive reason for a rubber band.
Taliesin is the sweetest human on this planet
How dare you call the dark lord "human"?
He can't be human, I'm pretty sure he predates the species.
@@09spidy hey, if he wants to pretend to be human, who am I blow his cover???
@@Talenel this is like a "he's a human *wink wink*" kinda situation
About as human as any elder god can be, which is not at all lmao
Raise your hand if you laughed that Taliesin would be getting a taste of the cosplayers suffering to capture Mollymauk's design
*raises hand because I’m one of those cosplayers*
I'm currently in my last year of med school...I'm so happy Will included the helpful tips and tricks for dealing with essential tremor...rubber-band trick is excellent to increase patient self-esteem and develop muscle coordination! I can easily see this being a method of patient care and treatment therapy for patients with tremor and/or early signs of parkinsons. I'm definitely going to advise my future patients with neurological issues to take up mini-painting!
It's also very helpful when you're doing surgery.
my own ever-present Essential Tremor just gave you your 69th like :)
@@alefnull Nice.
@@alefnull Nice.
@@pH7oslo True, I took up surgery as a hobby to help with my tremors and I find it pretty helpful!
Y'all just opened up detail work to a LOT of people who hadn't felt they could do it before. You did a mitzvah, fellas.
Not even the eldritch abomination that is Taliesin was ready for the insanity that was Will Friedle.
When an ancient immortal meets a new era immortal and realizes how much has changed.
Great Old One vs Elder God.
One at least follows it's own internal rules, the other is an insane tyrant from beyond the edge of space.
Look when an Elder God meets an Xelder God, shit goes wild
You fool, Will himself is a trickster god, he has duped for older beings than Taliesin
It's hard to be prepared for pure chaos.
Talliesin is like the stoic immortal who's been around for millennia. Will is like a 2 year old Demigod.
It's Dungeons & Dragons, it's possible that Mollymauk's cloak is a minor magic item and changes what's on the back at regular or random intervals.
I love this idea!
I loved Taliesin’s reaction to finding the rubber band method. That joy of someone finding a way past a limitation is great to see.
"Only on graph paper"
someone should make 16 bit fanart of percy and vex's wedding on graph paper
Taliesin, you're such a good sport for not just devouring Will's soul entirely by the end there. Bravo.
"I'm here with Taliesin Jaffe..."
Wait! That's... the correct name... who are you and what did you do to Will?
Of course Taliesin Jaffe is the only name he doesn't mispronounce... Of course!
It's an Ancient Eldritch Entity thing, no one is able to misprounounce it's current pseudonym without getting their soul eternally shattered and cursed into the deep depths of oblivion and you know Taliesin likes his friends so he made sure to let them know that. Consciously or unconsciously on their part I'm not sure but they just KNOW.
For a minute there I thought even Will Friedel won't risk playing with the one known as Taliesin. I underestimated the Trickster.
To be fair Talliesin Jaffe is only the name he is currently known as. His true name is ancient and cannot be spoken in human words.
I was fully expecting Will to do this one almost over-the-top professionally.
I know we joke about Taliesin but he’s really just such a wonderful human being, after watching his between the sheets too I feel much better about everything.
It’s lovely to see him having a fun time
I really appreciate the tips they had on helping people with tremors enjoy art, too!
I came for the Laura Bailey question and stayed entranced once they got to this part.
I don't even have tremors and I'm going to have to try that on my next mini. I don;t have particularly good hand eye coordination and every little helps.
I liked how serious he got about the shaky hands tips. He’s usually a jokester but that was genuine.
I plan on trying out the rubber band thing, too. I get shaky hands when painting dolls and miniatures, so anything that can help me steady my hands is a good thing.
I've been watching all season and had been afraid that they wouldn't be able to get Talesin on the show because of his tremor. I'm so glad that they were able to find solutions to help Talesin and others with shaky hands paint successfully! Talesin seemed so genuinely delighted, it was heartwarming. He's one of my favorites, so I'm especially glad for this.
Don’t bother asking who he’s married to, Taliesin has had thousands of spouses over the thousands of years he’s been alive.
Depends on how many thousands of years. Usually it should be just about 300 wives. ;)
@@Quotenwagnerianer He probably had a harem or two. It has been awhile.
Quotenwagnerianer only if you stick to one at a time.
@@Quotenwagnerianer He's bisexual so definitely a bunch of husbands too ;)
@@poofballoon Real talk though, has he actually confirmed that ever, cause that would be amazing.
“Truly one of the greatest members of the mighty nein”
“High up there”
Was.. was that a joke about him being dead..? Tal how could you.
Not sure... I took it as Molly was really conceited and he thought so highly of himself!😁
Tal is quick
I really appreciate that they both picked Taliensin for the small detail section and gave the tips for keeping a steady hand! Love how inclusive and awesome these guys are.
For Critters wanting to get into the mini painting hobby.
BLUF: detailing a mini and dealing with hand tremors.
For older or injured mini painters, *coughs and looks around nervously* this will be useful.
3:43 start of explanation.
5:00 rubber band stabilization
5:30 dual hand stabilization: note with this, have your wrist touch each other. This plus good posture and resting your elbows on a table helps.
5:45 hug method: make sure to rest your arms across your torso, and that you have a back supporting chair.
6:08 wrist to wrist. This is a very good one, as you can also use your hand holding the plinth to stabilize the brush as a ledge. Note how the hands form a pseudo heart shape.
6:30 6:50 arm rest method
6:51 brush holding. For control, you hold really close to the end. Small levers.
6:55 7:10 mini painting isn't magic :) little tricks are how you do it.
8:00 starting on the back.
8:14 I know it's a joke, but s1+2 would be painters guild geek and sundry.
8:53 - 9:14 nail pallette. Load your thumb or nail with your paint, to act as a pallette, and wipe off excess on thumb to beat dry times.
9:30 begin freestyle detailing.
13:05 comparison.
13:47 summation.
As before, there are several starter kits, with paint, primer brushes and a mini to start back or to begin the hobby.
Also, there are more companies than ever to get reasonably priced minis to start with.
For further readings, I recommend looking up mini painting as you get older on TH-cam, as there are several guides on dealing with hand shakes, eye strain and the like.
Welcome to the hobby, and as always your fellow hobbyists can't wait to see your plastic.
Are you... The mini primetime Flando?
@@charlottebligh649 there are those who have stated that this video series is the first time they've seen painting tutorials. These same people said they wanted timestamps for review.
These are for any critter wanting to paint, and hopefully they don't wait as long as I did to join the hobby.
If it helps, that's cool.
@@charlottebligh649 also, I'm not a Flando. I'm, obviously, a freaked out cat who watches TH-cam videos about mini painting.
@@charlottebligh649 i came to ask exactly that. Thank you mini primetime Flando. We appreciate you
Thank you for these
When it counts, Will's sincerity and helpfulness is inspiring. I'm so glad Taliesin got the opportunity to paint with him, and learn some new tricks to handling his tremor while doing art.
Thoroughly enjoy the fact that Taliesin is the one to do the steady hand episode
As someone who suffers from a neurological condition and has hand shake, this episode was everything, it really touched me to see the issue handled so simply and beautifully. Also, it was amazing how dazed Taliesin was in the beginning lol
I've loved Will Friedle as a human being for years, but holy shit. Him running through effective techniques for people with hand tremors, and with such respect and having researched MULTIPLE techniques?... What a friggin' guy.
I dont have essential tremors but I do have shaky hands due to fine motor impairment. I'm an artist despite that and have just dealt with the shakiness. I've never heard of anything like the rubber band method but I will be trying it now. Thank you for making an episode on accessibility. As much as this series has been covered in a blanket of comedy, the respect and acceptance of diversity you guys have presented has been so important.
As someone with tremmors myself, this has changed the way I work and has reduced my anxiety when handling brushes. I can't thank you all enough.
"I haven't painted for pleasure in quite a while"
You can't fool us, Taliesin, we can all see your prosthetic ear
As a young person with a nerve condition it makes me happy to see Tal talking abt his tremor and busting that myth that conditions like this are for old people only!
I feel like I'm gonna cry, addressing the accessability of mini panting for people with unsteady hands was brilliant. It was wonderful to see Tal paint but there are some great tips I can use from this. Thank you guys for this
Given the fact that Jester is disarmingly cute and and also kinda ripped, "Babe the Blue Ox" is actually pretty spot on.
You've saved my life with the rubber band trick at the beginning, thank you so much! Essential tremors SUCK.
"You play some sort of Arizona tea guy and also the dead one" killed me almost as much as a sword through my abdomen 😂😂
I have to say, I'm so happy Tal got to paint and was pleased with the results, also super glad that he couldn't let Will be the most chaotic, he had to do the most chaotic thing at the end by taking the paints and brushes, looking forward to season 2!
Awesome tips to help combat hand tremors! I was curious if Taliesin was going to participate in the gloriousness that is Mini Primetime due to his tremors, but having the issue addressed with multiple methods is great. Keep up the great work Will... and my wife Laura Bailey says 'Hi'!
I love how will changes his personality towards the guests depending on the ego of the guest(or friendship in Matts case) LOVE YOU WILL! and all of CR.
Honestly, my first reaction to Friedle was about the same as Taliesen's
Taliesin quietly contemplating what the fuck is going on with literal actual phone hold music in the back kills me
Its so heart Warming to see Talison learning about theese methods that can help him even though his hands are shaking. Truely Heartwarming
“Thank you for holding. Please continue to hold” words from the soul
This show makes me so happy
OH MY GOD AS SOMEONE WITH TREMORS THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Oh God Caduceus does look like an Arizona tea 😂
I love that Taliesin took the paints and brushes at the end. This was such a nice and wholesome painting session.
As someone who has a close friend with tremors I love that the section with tips to help with that while painting was the only serious section in like any of these episodes. Love it
I LOVE that this has been the most serious, but simultaneously the most casual episode of Mini Primetime yet.
as someone who's been dealing with ETs (Essential Tremors) for well over 20 years, i've been pretty focused on Tal's tremors since starting to watch CR a few years ago. it's just so wonderful and somehow comforting to hear it actually talked about somewhere outside of just me explaining to strangers why my hands are shaking so much.
As much as I love the humorous chaos of this show. The calmness of this episode was just perfect. As someone who has tremors much like Tal, I appreciated this immensely!
I love that you took the time to talk about ways to reduce shaking/tremors. Taliesin seriously looked a light had come on when you were going over that. And judging by the comments here, it's going to help SOOOO many people
6:26 It was this moment that Taliesin decided not to reap Will's soul.
"you can't..."
"Mine, mine"
I HUGELY appreciate the discussion of painting technique modifications for essential tremor because I have always wished I could paint minis but I also have an essential tremor and issues with pinch grips from lupus related joint inflammation in my hands. I hope to try some of these things (and get into mini painting!) soon!
You can tell that past all the jokes, Will is a genuinely nice guy
The immortal known as Talesin Jaffe briefly takes human form to learn painting techniques from the older brother from Boy Meets World
I really like how this focused on how to paint even when dealing with a disability. If there's another season I'd love to see more things like that.
I'm so happy about that rubber band tip being shown.
Thanks for this wonderful episode, the heartily reach out to all who suffer of tremor or diminished dexterity felt so sincere that I just couldn't stop smiling throughout the entire interaction.
Thanks a lot for this serie Will Friedle and Critical Role for inviting us into a tiny but marvelous show like Mini Primetime.
LOTS OF FUN! Bring on season 2!
I have the same kind of tremor that Taliesin does. This has been really informative and it's gonna be a game changer for my mini painting.
As many other people have said, kudos for taking the time to address techniques for people with tremors or other difficulties with fine motor skills. As someone with a physical disability myself, I always appreciate when consideration is made for those with additional challenges.
As someone with hand tremors this helped a lot!
Even someone who is thousands of years old can learn something knew! The pyramid is not all knowing!
But in all seriousness, it was so sweet seeing Taliesin getting excited about learning this new trick.
I love that they gave ideas on how to help with shaking hands! So sweet and thoughtful! And such a great way to handle it! Keep up the amazing and great work Critical Role!!!
talliesin casts his eldritch gaze on a mortal, and finds himself perplexed
oh man, i noticed it ages ago but forgot about his tremor because it's not important but was always kinda curious as to what it was, glad they found a work around for it
I feel like I'm watching Ch'thulu attending at an artist job application
+CriticalRole, Will, & the staff: you are all awesome. It's moments like these that you do right by others and help keep the community open and inclusive to all. I'm happy how delighted Taliesin is by the rubberband trick. That's genuine happiness right there. You guys made someone's day (and many others in the community by sharing these little techniques) in a single instant. Bravo.
Aww, that was very considerate of Will to help Tali negate his tremors a bit. :)
Super happy to see Taliesin on Primetime!!!!
I love Tal so much
You guys doing a video like this is just amazing. You guys are amazing. This is why I love you guys. Pure class ❤
*Heavenly Ahhs* -- "Way up there" xD I'm dead
For those who dont know and are into miniature painting, citadel has a quite useful miniature holder. A gentle spring loaded clamp goes around the base and makes it much easier to hold.
For those on a budget blu-tack and a bottle cap are your friends instead
After the questioning was over and they went into the intro bit for the painting I started wondering how Taliesin would fare with his tremor. Interesting that they actually covered it.
Talisen ready for that Laura Bailey question. That was very good.
I got a head injury as a kid and after that my hands have always shaken to the point I had to stop doing any kind of art, but the rubber band trick helps so much 😍😍
At 1:34 Taliesin's actual inner Caduceus is showing.
Man I wish you guys were still doing this and AWNP. Love the content but makes me want more 😭
First i thought using Tal for the Details Episode was a bad joke.
Then i realized you'd never do that, and actually made something fucking amazing. Props.
I love Taliesan grabbing the brushes and paints at the end, god what a mood
This may be my favorite episode.
I love Jalesin Taffes. They are cool people. Is this the one that plays Cad in Crit Role?
Such an old and unique peoples.
Yes! His first character in campaign 2 was Mollymauk Tealeaf, who met an unfortunate end awhile back and since then, he's been playing Caduceus. Campaign 1, he was Percy.
"Mollymauk Tealeaf, who met his untimely end in an unfortunate accident--"
Taliesin, he was STABBED
1:37
In Tal's mind: "I've lived so many lives, but it doesn't seem any of them had THAT..."
Yessss xD "Wait.... Did I do that in 20 BC?.... Noo, that's not quite right. Oh good, the mortal got bored already."
this was an amazing episode. The tech for those with hands that shake was very neat and informative. More of all of this show please!
I'm kind of glad to learn Taliesin has a tremor, I've been worried he had anxiety and was unhappy.
Ladies and gentlemen, Taliesin Jaffe in his new role.. "Bewildered"!
I don't do minis because my hands shake too much but I have a set of dice I'm in the process of inking and I procrastinated doing the itty bitty numbers on my twenties today. I'm so glad I just happened to throw this on tonight.
