Slapped some more Contrast on some minis to get the other Mork Boll team done. Meet the Dawn Wood:  L to R: Deadly Piggo, Right-Handed Demon, Pointy Daryl, Mum's Favorite Hat, and Ada, the Best Boller. Just went sloppy with the paint because the FEP failed on my printer on this back and several of them have some ugly failures with chunks missing out of their backs. Also slapped up two of the possible referees, the Wizard and Three  Maybe I'll get some test games done over the weekend and if I enjoy it, I'll spend more time on teams. Probably still use Vae Victis minis since this month's patreon bundle was more sellswords in this style and next month's preview seems to be like Landsknechts or knock-off Warhammer Empire dudes.

I need some help. I've got these old Juan Diaz daemonettes I scored for CHEAP and I'm trying to do them justice, but they just...I don't know. I primed them white, hit them with some watered down Druchii Violet and then drybrushed with pallid wych flesh followed by filling in and smoothing with pallid wych flesh glaze. I just don't know what they need at this point. The flesh doesn't seem right. Any creative ideas from the community?   It's like it needs a highlight of pure white or maybe a shade to take the edge off the white.

The flesh doesn't seem right because there's no flesh tone there, just white stained a little purple. Which is how they're officially painted! It'll probably look better once you paint the details like the hair and claws so you're not staring at a blob of white plastic and maybe wash the crevices a little more for more definition. If I were to do Daemonettes I'd base them a scarlet red then drybrush all the way to white and then hit them with a violet wash just to give them a reddish undertone.

Ez8 posted:I need some help. If it were me, I'd paint the mount before coming to any conclusion about where to take the skin of the daemonette. Currently its all just slightly purple tinged off white, theres no contrast there. Do the Steed orange or yellow or baby pink and maybe now the contrast makes the skin read more skin-y. Or maybe it doesnt and you need to try something else, but at least you'll have a definite colour down to contrast with/compliment.

My other artist acrylics are Liquitex acrylic Gouache (not my thing but quality) and DaVinci liquid and a few heavy body acrylics, which are responsibly sourced and excellent quality. Also on sale now for a pretty deep discount.

Does RN Estudio have a Beatrix model? Haven't seen it. I don't know if it's just the printing company I bought them from, but the sizing is... odd.  Regarding Alexander and Bahamut, just print these two guys and make them kiss (after you throw some wings on the Alexander model)

Just be aware that artist paints, whether acrylic or oils, will frequently contain toxic heavy metals (for example, lead and cadmium) while hobby paints almost never do. Check the tube before buying or using. And if you do decide to use them, no brush licking and don't even think of airbrushing them. To answer the original question, Kimera paints are extremely good. Worth it for the Red alone.

I've found Liquitex Heavy Body Titanium white to be excellent. Put a blob on the wet palette and it lasts forever and you can dilute small amounts down to a workable consistency easily. It's more opaque and very smooth compared to the other whites as well. Plus you can use it straight as a drybrush.

I'm having a really basic problem with my painting - I never seem to have nearly as much paint on my brush as people in Youtube videos. I'm watching sonic sledgehammer paint an entire cape in one go, and I could never do that. I'm stuck at work so I can't sit here and try various tips in real time, but I'm guessing the answers could be: My brush is too small (I don't thinkso?) My paint isn't thin enough (again, I don't think so, I'm working on this) I'm not "drawing" the paint into the bristles somehow? I think it's the last one but I don't really know what to do about it. I long to have paint come off of my brush like ink from a fountain pen, instead of what I've got now which is a few good brush strokes and then back to the palette.

Your brush may be too dry. I always like to dip mine in the cleaning water then pat them dry on a paper towel before painting, so they're not wet but are definitely damp before I go for paint. If the brush bristles are semi-saturated with water they can't suck all the moisture out of the paint which lets you put more pigment on the actual mini.

One of the advantages of sable hair brushes is that the brush will hold a shitload more paint.

I absolutely am using a cheap sythnetic, whatever comes in packs from the local art supply store. It's a size 6? It seems about as big as what they're using. I see it happen in all kinds of videos, I think Ducan would just call it a large layer brush? Maybe the brush is too dry, I'll check on that. Here's the video I'm currently watching, but I've seen this happen all the time. Look how mush of the cape he covers, I've never had that experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX1GX0dC8x8&t=120s

You absolutely do not need more than a 1 or 2 for painting human sized minis. 6 is for painting monsters or vehicles and even then it might be too big. Get a proper sable brush - a Raphael 8404 Size 1 costs £13 (3 space marines) and will last you years if you take even the most basic care. Sable brushes are a lot tougher than synthetics and will remain useful for much longer. Cheap brushes in packs are for applying texture paint or terrain.

Seconding the sable brushes being infinitely better. Takes a minute to get used to, i found the paint get applied a little differently. I go through synthetic brushes like mad because i paint like an rear end in a top hat, but ive had the same 2 sable brushes for a while and theyve lasted way longer than any sythentic brush ive owned by a considerable amount

Each type of brush has their uses and synthetics are for lovely, sloppy paint jobs and sables are for surgical precision

Also that Size 1 8404 will be literally the only brush you need 99% of the time. If you decide to freehand text and paint pupils on your guys then you can invest in a Size 00 but that Size 1 will do everything from basecoating to highlighting just fine.

Also, brush sizes are really only good for comparing brushes from a single manufacturer. A size 1 from company A will be smaller than a size 2 from company A, but that company A size 2 could be the same size as a company B size 4.

Lumpy posted:If you are getting artist acrylics, Golden is amazing, and they are 100% employee owned! Fun fact, I work for a basic craft art company that purports to be founded by one of the Golden family. I mean, I can substantiate that claim as 1: the founder died a year before I started here and 2: it's not like the Golden website talks about the family behind the business. That be said, the dude's last name was Golden and we do make art and craft stuff among other.... things. To hear his daughter tell the story, her late father left Golden paints, went to Crayola, and created the liquitex brand because the formulas for the paint were in his head. That being said Golden paints are dope. Use those. Ravus Ursus fucked around with this message at 20:34 on May 12, 2023 |
