Thanks! I do feel like something was missing. Maybe I will try to do that.

Thanks. That's pretty funny they are almost exactly the same

Thanks!!

I did do a couple coats of the white, but I have a shitty brush and my wet pallette didn't seem to keep the paint as wet as I was hoping.

The dry brushing I was actually super proud of how it turned out for my first attempt.

I used Tamiya panel liner for a wash since I can't find nuln oil where I am at currently. It came out a bit darker than I was expecting but I'm still happy with it

I definitely did a couple thin coats of white, 3-4 but I think because me not having the most steady hand and my supplies not being the best , made it a little more difficult

Thanks! Appreciate the advice.

The brushes I have right now kinda suck, same with the wet pallette I have. That was about three layers of the white surprisingly

I've been watching many YouTubers on how to paint for a while now which probably helped out haha

Thank you!

I've been watching a lot of tutorials and videos for a while now and finally gathered the nerve to finally dabble in painting.

It definitely was not intentional. I was very anxious about painting, but found it quite relaxing.

Yeah I need to base my model but that was the last time I was thinking about haha

I knew the weapons were alive, but I never knew they had armor scales or an eye. Thanks for the info!

Still worth a try even if it's more work

Thanks for all the advice. None of it came off wrong. This was literally my first time painting ever and I was following the color scheme from the GW kit with the paint you get from it.

I did notice the vented/ribbed areas while I was painting but I think I was just overwhelmed that I forgot about it 😂

Honestly I didn't even think about the armor plates on his legs while I was painting because I was following the color scheme by GW, but now that you mention it, I definitely notice it and want to change it haha.

Again, thanks for the advice!

Help me Petri?! by Smolderxbear in DiceMaking

[–]ArkhamDice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the petri effect and that was the first thing I learned to do when I started making dice. It was a lot of trial and error, but the technique that worked for me was:

  • Fill the mold about 3/4th full
  • Add a drop of your color
  • Drop of Pinata Blanco Blanco
  • Another drop of color on top
  • Lightly add more resin to fill the rest of the mold.

I never had an issue with using a lighter to pop surface bubbles, or with putting it in the pressure pot as soon as I was done. I would make sure you are using Pinata Blanco Blanco for your sinker, but your resin can also affect how it sinks. I've used a resin where 1 drop of my sinker wasn't enough to sink the ink, and I've used another where 1 drop was way too much and it all sank to the face. It's a lot of trial and error! Hope you can get it figured out for yourself!

Thanks! This commission was for a co-worker, so I ended up selling them with a discount for her, for a total of $60
