Awesome, great GS work, really smooth. Like Karitas says, washes add depth and are easy to use. Theres a video by privateerpress on YouTube which is about 10 minutes long and shows all the basic techniques you need :)
Watered down paint will help you get into all those nice recesses you made there. Maybe pink followed by a heavy red wash? Gloss varnish afterwards will make them look shiny and wet.

Really nice. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see your bravery also, so many who are new fear to convert for a long time, but you just proved why you should jump in.
as to paint, remember, washes are your friend :)
Awesome, great GS work, really smooth. Like Karitas says, washes add depth and are easy to use. Theres a video by privateerpress on YouTube which is about 10 minutes long and shows all the basic techniques you need :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Karitas, I think it helps that I have someone that is in the business of sculpting fig/mini around. (ok 180 miles away)
ReplyDeleteYes, washes I've used them a bit already on some of my figures and I'm still getting the hang of how they change the color and look of what is there.
Chris, Thanks!! I actually have the dvd that was put out by pp. :) and will be completely using some of those techniques.
There is also nothing wrong with screwing up, and with a Nurgle army that just might help. ;)
Watered down paint will help you get into all those nice recesses you made there. Maybe pink followed by a heavy red wash? Gloss varnish afterwards will make them look shiny and wet.
ReplyDeleteYeah washes are going to be the thing on this.
ReplyDeleteI just picked up some gloss varnish so I just might try that out.
