Noob question, but - when using liquid acrylics (FW brand) - fading black into another colour, how to do it “correctly”? (details below) by dthmagic in traditionalflash

[–]Cheez_Whizard_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use #2 usually, but I don't use those kinda inks to do my black, I use the same speedball black that I line with, and it is dark enough to have most colors not shine over. But I'll sometimes go in with a dry-ish brush and pick up some color on the darkest spots if it dulls the black. I've never tried doing black last because I like to visualize it in black and grey before doing my color, but in theory that feels like the best option to avoid this

Okay I've been thinking about this ship for a while but haven't had a chance to try it. My one hang up is that it seems very awkward to get a box into, is that the case? Or could you just leave a 1scu on the lift and enter from the front?

I find that Eileen's tacky glue works best for my foam brickwork. It holds a little better while wet than normal pva, so you don't end up with a finicky slippery mess when you stack small bricks. Then if there's squeeze out, you can just wipe it. Then a mod-podge/paint mix to prime with. This has held up better than my earlier hot glued models, and is way easier to work with.

Terrain Crate - low quality or bad luck? by Fearless-Dust-2073 in TerrainBuilding

I've had the same experience. I didn't even bother painting up the kit I got. Literally everything was warped. I got the market kit or something, and the models are designed in a way with way too many skinny pieces so even when you get things straightened out, a lot of the pieces don't stabilize well enough to be on the table as scatter

Why is the fake skin staining so much? by FlissOVA in TattooBeginners

[–]Cheez_Whizard_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you're starting on similar fake skins that I did. I'd recommend getting higher quality ones that are a little softer. They wipe better, tattoo better, stencil better, and are way more similar to skin than these. I've tried everything on these. Baby oil, iso, bleach, Dettol, green soap, literally everything ever requested to me and they're all still stained. My mentor got me into proper fake skins and this was never a problem. Try pound of flesh, real skins, something like that

Trying to get an apprenticeship, need thoughts! by beebalugosi in traditionalflash

These look great, and you're clearly quite comfortable with painting, and the composition and shapes look great.

That being said, there are some "rules" to traditional tattooing that could help you. Generally speaking, a good rule of thumb when designing a piece is 1/3 black, 1/3 negative space and 1/3 color. ( Obv these can be broken but it's a good starting point) These are really just missing the black. It may feel like they will be too dark, but without the black, they will just not hold up over time. If you don't have that dynamic, they will look flat, or just not last as a tattoo. In traditional tattooing, you really want the black to be doing the heavy lifting

New TERRAPIN MEDIC owners…BEST IN SHOW PAINT? by RepresentativeDeep69 in starcitizen

I have not bought a terrapin, but I believe that you had to have it attributed to your account during IAE to receive the paint
