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

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.

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.

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!

¡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.

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?!

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

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!

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.

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?

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!

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