Additioneel

I didn't think I was going to get any painting done tonight, but was able to get some more skin and armour done on a second eel.  Well, not done done, but some progress.


For the purpose of future me, in the unlikely event that I want to reproduce this colour scheme:

Apres le zenithal, an underspray of Bakunin Neon, followed by Invincible Orange from the side, then Chung Kuo Skin from the top.  Then some more Invincible Orange from the side, to deepen the colour a bit.  Pattern was thinned Bakunin Neon, then along the spine fin a line of State Empire Pride Speedpaint, then once that was dry, a 1:1 mix of State Empire Pride to Speedpaint Medium over all of the skin.

    Is it too late to add similar patterning to the previous eels (in greens, of course)...? Those other eels have been my favourite piece so far, but the patterns here could maybe make the other ones even better than they already are...?

    I am not sure if it would work, as I should have applied the patterning before the speedpaint wash to give it a more unified look. Perhaps after I have more experience, it will feel less risky, but I likely won't change them now. Also due to how much painting I have left to do :)

Shark Week DISASTER!

I wasn't feeling it for the old sharkie boy this evening, so I went back to my terrain piece.  Now that it was all brown, I knew I need to give it a black wash, but the thought of the cost involved was putting me off.  So I found a super cheap black wash recipe from Black Magic Craft, which in turn led me to an improved version he had done.  As it turns out, I had all of the required ingredients.  Blending Medium, Flow-aid, black ink and even water!  If I had to buy this, it would not have been a cheap wash, but as the monery was already spent, it felt free. Insert exciting picture of washed boat half that looks slightly darker than the other half.  This is a slow job, and the flow-aid was put in a bit heavy I suspect, as I am getting a lot of bubbles. I will give this a drybrush afterwards, to bring back some highlights, and knock back the shine.

 Not a lot done this weekend.  I could probably call this terrain piece tabletop ready, although it is far from being done.  I need to apply some verdigris, and paint the various fish, bottles, barnacles, and shells.  The overall paint job is a bit dull.  After washing the whole thing, I drybrushed it with a 1:1 mix of Tokai Grey and Brigadine Brown from Army Painter.  I did another lighter highlight with more of the grey, but really it barely registers.   After that it was Balthasar Gold from Citadel.  I am not sure if the Sigmar sculpture on the front is supposed to be wood or metal, but now it is metal.  I then tried AP Strong Tone for the first time.  It was not what I expected, and is very thick, with a slow drying time, so you could sort of move the shadows around a bit.  I liked it, and will use it again I am sure.
