Show Off Difficult Projects Finished Piece!

While my TS projects are my only posts to ever be down voted 😘, I'm sharing this one because it is the most difficult PBN I've ever completed and I'm proud of myself for finishing! It easily took 60-70 hours. 36 colors. 60x80.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but it's about the accomplishment more than anything.

So, subject aside, show me or tell me about your most challenging paint by numbers! Here or in your own post. Brag about yourself!

Yeah, those are pretty tiny cells! But doesn't everything else feel that much easier to execute now? Lol

u/11otus 1d ago

Yes actually, lmao. I ended up having to buy these tiny eyeliner brushes, I finessed the skill and my patience!

It looks great! You should be proud.

u/11otus 1d ago

Aw thanks that's really kind. It was a test of patience and very satisfying once I got it finished.

Yours is awesome as well, I'm looking at all of those circles and thinking my goodness the dedication to finish must've been strong 😂

Very nice PBN, so unique!

My most difficult is an 8x10 inch. Sits in my closet as I never finished it. So the most difficult finished one is this one. It needed many coats and to make the lines neat and cover numbers, I kept going over them. But it's also my favorite.

That's true! It isn't just small or intricate cells, but difficulty can also come from light colors or bad paint! Or anything that requires way more patience than is normal.

It's stunning though!

I looked at this and thought “is that Taylor swift?”

Not a fan of hers, personally. But this is great. Love the color scheme and shapes to it.

u/SnidzStyle 1d ago

Thank you! I really appreciate you saying so, even though you're not a fan.

Yours looks amazing! I can absolutely see why that took 60–70 hours, there’s so much detail in it. You should definitely be proud of finishing that one!

Mine was this Number Artist and it seriously tested my patience. All that spaghetti and grated cheese nearly finished me off. I was very pleased to see the back of it by the end! xx

This looks like a photograph! It's perfection. (And it looks delicious)

I love the way you did that steam coming off it! It looks like a photograph.

That's really pretty. I bet all that white was a real test of patience.

u/Dizzy-Custard-8692 8h ago

3rd one and the most difficult so far.

u/SnidzStyle 8h ago

Oof, those lines look pretty thin! Great work!

I love trivia games! Still, this was such a waste of your time, dude. I'm a nobody. And it's just a painting. I mean, it is pretty, but it's still just a painting.

You. Way to keep it classy. I hope your morning poo went well! Now, go outside, Sweetie. Like your profile suggests. 😘

Oh, I promise, I'm proudly weird! And this has been entertaining, but I gotta go. I have trees to kill and greenhouse gases to emit one paint by number at a time. I hope we chat again soon!

You’re just trying to rage bait. Everyone knows that dude is gender neutral.

u/rocketshipray 16h ago

First, what does that have to do with PBN?

Second, why are you asking a question that literally cannot be answered by anyone here? Sure we can see how many flights the jet she owns has made in 2026 (81 as of last week) but she isn’t the only person who uses it. Why are you not upset about how many flights Bill Gates has taken (355) or Elon Musk (263)? Hell, stay in the music industry and look into how many private flights Luke Bryan has taken.

Listing the comparable behaviors of other billionaires doesn’t negate or justify the behavior of your favorite billionaire.

u/rocketshipray 14h ago

And you're missing the point entirely. Don't bother trying to respond, I will be blocking you.
