They look like boats. Now I imagine your Gargant waterskating across the sea.

Finally got a camera, so here's some pictures of my terminator chaplain    I notice now that I take close-up pictures that my paints really get sludgly, how do I counter this? thinning the paints before painting?

Thin your paints! That white is entirely too sludgy. Thin your paint down and paint multiple thin coats instead of one thick coat.

Think its just the effect they have achieved with the paint, I have seen some pretty impressive busts (boom boom) recently, this is one of the best I have seen. There are some other oil paintings by the guy who did the lady in cellophane, I don't understand how long you would have to spend on the picture to get it almost photo perfect. Here is the step by step:

Well the guy is doing a gallery of his photo realistic oils. You might be able to argue that step 4 would be the better finished piece but ultimately that is not what he wants to achieve and would not match his other pieces. One more from him and I am done:

Not that it isn't loving impressive, but he really just painted crumpled tin foil?   I suppose it's sort of anthropomorphic in a 'dude squatting for a poo poo' kind of way.

It is technically impressive, but the artistic equivalent of that dude airbrushing NMM all over his Grey Knights.

NecronSchmecron posted:Not that it isn't loving impressive, but he really just painted crumpled tin foil? The crumpled tinfoil likely isn't because it's SO DEEP, it's like other super realistic oil painters doing poo poo with water or glass. Because it's ridiculously difficult and shows an insane amount of skill to be able to pull something off like that. It's tin-foil because it's reflective. It's crumpled so it gives off hundreds of tiny facets and different reflections.

I think I might do that after I've painted all the models I have (24 of them, I'm glad I dont' play IG or Orks  ), I'll have to find a suitable replacement for simple green though, can't buy that here.

Army Painter makes two colored primers that might work: Desert Yellow and Skeleton Bone. I've never used Army Painter products though, so I can't make any claims as to their effectiveness, though.

If you're lucky, you can find Rustoleum ultra-flat camouflage at Walmart. 1917830 Khaki looks like a good fit, but I haven't tried it. I used to go with Krylon's camouflage, but they've since changed to their Fusion formula, which (as far as I can tell) "instantly bonds with plastic" by having solvents mixed with the paint.

I think it's kind of lame to work so directly from photos like that and would rather see him be more creative, but his recent exhibition was hosted by the Finnish Embassy, so what the gently caress do I know about art? I have a deviantArt account. He has stuff in galleries. But I paint warhams better than he does, and my father wasn't even an accomplished painter, so whatever, man.

Is there a list somewhere of which colors from different manufacturers correspond to each other, like which generics can be substituted for which GW paints, for example? The only link in the OP that seems relevant to that is broken (the silicon-dragons one).

If you have specific GW colors in mind people may be able to suggest alternatives.

Nothing so specific, unfortunately; I'm more looking for a reference to have on hand than having a specific query in mind right now. I guess I can always come back to the thread with questions as I have them but I'm sure it'd be less annoying for both me and the thread if there was a resource somewhere. Thank you for the suggestion, I will look that up.
