Warning to anyone who uses Bones: InstaMorph at any softness absolutely loves to stick to Bones plastic. I had quite a disaster when trying to sculpt a temporary painting base for my Great Old One out of InstaMorph .

Ok on a second try I got it by speculatively molding it most of the way, and then doing some fitting only when the InstaMorph was barely workable.

How is the color scheme looking on this Old One? I'm freehand painting (this is a sloppy tonal blocking - blending to come later) and going for vibrant / high contrast because I will be varnishing for table top use (which always mutes everything).

Tenasscity posted:Does anyone know a good place to get empty dropper bottles? I've been scouring old forums posts and online retailers and I cant seem to find a good deal +shipping unless I get something shipped form China (and the 2+week shipping time that entails) Any local hobby store retailers like Hobby Lobby or Michaels have decent bottles? I got a bunch of all-LDPE-plastic dropper bottles for about 1USD/each at a brick-and-mortar art supply store like Dick Blick, but their online store seems to only have a fancier version. If you search online for "1/2 oz plastic squeeze bottle" or "15mL plastic squeeze bottle" you will find the same item sold in other contexts, so you could also try checking medical and science supply stores.

Finished the free-hand base coat with some two brush blending.

Any tips for glaze shading? I was attempting some tonight and it was either too much water and it wouldn't cover, or it was too much medium and it came out streaky.

Fyrbrand posted:It's not fogging up, but I've done 4 applications and it hasn't cut the gloss shine at all. I shook it for a solid 5 minutes to be absolutely sure it was mixed, still no effect. Dullcote is getting harder to find locally, so I was hoping to find an alternative. I use (brush on) a thin layer of Liquitex Matte Varnish and although it's no dullcote it gets things down to a low satin.

It seems like March has been Mashaaf Madness. I'm just about finished with mine, and although its not up to pro standards its my personal best so far. I took lots of pictures: Prep: green stuffing gaps, and temporary base made of instamorph:  Blocking base coat:  Two brush blending and washes on the back:  Poor attempt at highlights:  A pretty messy attempt at glaze shading, more washes on the back and smaller bits:  Stepped up my game and just glaze blended until it looked good, highlights on details, light drybrushing on the rocks:  Liquitex Gloss:  Liquitex Matte:  Testors Dullcote:  Feeling pretty good about this!

Doing some planning for Reaper Bones "Goremaw". Any of these thumbnails stand out as particularly good/bad?

For brush-on varnishers: anyone have experience with both Vallejo acrylic and poly matte varnish? After some comparison testing with the acrylic matte I'm going to switch over from Liquitex, but I was wondering whether the poly had similar properties with more durability.

Funzo posted:Is Vallejo primer good for brushing on? It’s going to be getting too cold to spray outside soon and I need an alternative. Any particular one I should look for? I am a fan of their white poly primer as a brush-on. It provides a nice painting surface and bonding but don't go for opaque coverage.

Not quite up to thread standards on close inspection, but I'm proud of finishing some bones over the holiday break. First batch I've finished with a toddler in the house.
