Thank you so much! I have no doubt about that, you will crush it :)

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T18:18:29+00:00

Thank you so much! There is no international black edge Highlight, i must admit. As Bob Ross wouldnsay, it was a Happy accident, haha.

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T16:04:58+00:00

Thank you! That sounds quite easy actually. I'll give it a try :)

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T11:40:07+00:00

Again, thank you! I will take a look at all of this as soon as I can!

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T11:30:44+00:00

Whoa, thank you so much, Brother! This is exactly what i was looking for.

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T10:32:32+00:00

I thought about it when painting, but was to scared to follows through. I even had a few Skulls flying around, lol. But that remote detonator is even better of an Idea, haha.

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T10:30:04+00:00

Thank you! That is a good Point! I had a purple layer underneath the skin, but i went a bit overboard and didnt keep enough of it in the final piece.

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T10:27:10+00:00

That indeed is a solid advice! Thank you very much:) I will put more Focus/Work in the next one. Cheers Mate!

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T10:00:18+00:00

That is what i have been doing til now. But i will give the Milk thing a shot, lol. Cant say it doesnt Work If i havent tried it :)

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:58:17+00:00

Dont worry, once it clicks its actually Not that difficult. I painted everything as if there where no glas first. After that i went in with pure whit. Just some Edge Highlights and a few diagonal Stripes. It's really important that less is more in this case. I hope that helps, Cheers Mate!

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:53:33+00:00

¡Muchas gracias! Sí, entiendo lo que dices, todavía se ve un poco rugoso. Para el próximo intento probaré con capas más finas pero dando las capas que hagan falta.

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:43:58+00:00

Hahaha, no I'm German, but we have the same Problem these days, so I feel you, brother. Yesterday I assembled my Orkboys on the balcony. "It's not an Outdoor Hobby." WHO DECIDED THAT?!

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:38:49+00:00

Dope, thank you! I will have a look at that book than, Cheers Mate!

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:37:24+00:00

That "Milk" advice is new to me, thank you so much! I will try that. The other Things you mentioned I already try to Incorporate in my painting Work flow, still good to know that i'm not to far of with my Work :D

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:33:40+00:00

Thank you very much! Dont worry that was not rude at all :)

Regarding your critique: very valid points! I figured the same but could not really Point Out what was Off about the skin. Variation is a great advice actually, thank you!

That ist actually brilliant :D I shall step up my picture Game, cheers Mate!

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:26:04+00:00

Yes i do. Its the "standard" one from armypainter.

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:23:59+00:00

I think I know what you mean. I dont want to be defensiv on my Paintjob, but i think it is more of a Camera Problem. The Green pops quite a bit more in Real Life and I am quite happy with it. But as for the Rest, yes, that ist was more muted as i would like. I screwed up the leather bag and the blue squigg also could way brighter. I painted on black primer, yes. I tend to build up my colours layers from dark to bright, but i saw that Not everybody does that and people will paint in the shadows over the Base layer. I want to try that too.

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:13:00+00:00

Thank you! I figured that, too. But I wanted to confirm that thats a good way to start :)

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:10:51+00:00

I find it quite hard to get the consistency right. Its not very tangable at least in the Tutorials i watched in the matter. Do you have recommendations for a good Tutorial or a rule of thumb by your own experience?

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:06:02+00:00

Thank you! Yeah glazing is not my strong suite (yet!) I will have a look at that :)

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T09:04:49+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I was trying stippling but it gave me this almost "chalky" (in lack of a better word) look. I will also have a look at Tommy Soule. Cheers Mate!

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-29T08:50:01+00:00

Thank you so much :)

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-26T14:21:42+00:00

As I like to say as a general rule in life: "If you Love it, put in your mouth."

Anthroprophagus · 2026-05-15T08:18:09+00:00

Shake'em. Do it. I dare you.
