Long shot question, but here goes: Anybody experiment with adding oil paint into acrylic water effects?

I'll be honest. I dunno why white inks became popular instead of white primer or paint. I've had so many issues with white Liquitex. Reminds me of back when people itt primed with gesso.

I've use nickles or quarters in the past, but some of the new textured bases (like the GM necro/ZM ones) don't leave enough room. I've switched to lead shot and PVA glue for those

I've now field tested 3 brush cleaners. W&N and Masters are the winners for me, esp when used together. Vallejo isn't nearly as good.

Dienes posted:Finally pulled the trigger and got an airbrush. Played around with it today and it seems to go through paint quickly - is that normal? Yep, it certainly can. The higher your PSI, the larger your needle, and the more you pull back on the trigger the more paint you'll use. Reduce these and you use less paint.

Parkingtigers posted:Disturbingly, deliciously gooey. How did you get that gore effect? Ugleb posted:Well that claw is deeply troubling. Thanks guys. I pushed myself on this one- particularly happy with how the OSL and gore turned out. Gore I've found to be pretty easy. The key I feel is texture and different shades of 'blood'. I use the GW blood technical paint and combine it first with black, another time with brown, and another time with magenta. Each time I do this I apply it with a sponge onto the gore areas, building up the effect. Once it looks good, I use the technical paint straight from the bottle. This gives it the depth it has. After that I flick on some paint with a brush for spatter and apply some uhu glue. I then paint the glue using those colors I mentioned before.

punishedkissinger posted:thank you all for the terrific advice. going to try and edge in those crosses today and really clean them up. You might also consider oils, since the long drying time would let you blend and clean the shapes better than acrylics. Not interacting with your base acrylic layers also means you can run a dry brush along the sides to clean/feather/sharpen shapes without worry

punishedkissinger posted:Fantasy type. I have an order in for the Frostrgrave female mooks which i'm looking forward too. I honestly haven't had great luck looking through Reaper for this, but I have been trying to stick to Bones Black and Bones USA so maybe I'm missing some decent metals. Late reply to this, but your nice brushes are A-OK to be exposed to oil and mineral spirit. Acrylics are actually much harsher on your brushes than oils, this is mostly because of their crazy fast drying time. Just clean them with spirit and let them dry like you were using water.

kzin602 posted:Does anybody know if oils thinned with white spirit will eat airbrush primer or should I put a varnish down first? If your primer is enamel based then they can eat through it, provided the primer isn't cured. Or you are super abrasive and soak your model in spirit afterwards. You'll be fine

Yup. Gloss will lower the surface tension and allow your wash to better go into cracks. This is especially true if you put some gloss into your wash, so you have gloss on gloss. You can use this trick to avoid pooling on large flat surfaces when using acrylic washes. Matte varnish gives your wash more 'teeth' to hold onto a surface by increasing surface area for bonding. This makes it more difficult to remove and less easy to achieve a clean look... but this can be desirable for weathering effects. Clearcoats can change paint behavior pretty noticeably, but are often ignored because they are an extra step. Here's an example of this in action:  Each of the four corners was sealed with a different clearcoat before I applied chipping fluids and then scratched things up. Pretty dramatic difference in the end result.

Chip McFuck posted:Baby's first bases. Going for a desert scheme for my Kabalite Warriors. The crackle medium didn't really pan out, but I think I got a pretty good dusty effect anyway. Still have to add a couple spots of sand and dried grass, but I'm liking the way they're turning out so far! These are excellent. Nice work!

IDK how the thought of filing or gap filling a painted model doesn't instantly trigger sprue painters

Mikey Purp posted:One caveat to the airbrushing ink thing is that if it's specifically daler rowney FW white that is causing you trouble, just toss it in the trash. That stuff is just defective. Bucnasti posted:Echo that. Haha, and here I thought I was insane while everyone was raving. My DR white has been pretty poo poo. I got a vortex mixer and it made it usable, but it was an absolute pain before that.
