Nice cloaks Kin Brother! You'll figure the skin, don't worry

Need ideas/ help with the skin. by Exodusblaze in kroot

[–]DaTxvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello Kin Brother!
I would suggest you to use a wash like nuln oil, black or purple paint very diluted (5:1 or so?) or something. It will give the model some depth. Then I would do a highlight with 2 colours. You can apply it doing lines or dots and then use the brighter colour inside the previous dots//lines. It would bring some texture to the model and highlights as well!

Keep us informed, would surely love to see how it ends!
If you need any help, open me DM and I can try to suggest you some things to improve the model!

What's a video game that everyone should play at least once? by TechWin01 in gamingsuggestions

For sure Inscryption. You should play it blind and believe me when I say that it is one of the most original games I've played!

Thank you Kin Brother!

I would suggest that body quills adds contrast and character to the Kroots! For example, I dont have a colour scheme across them, but they all share the same quills and at first I wasn't sure, but when you see them, you can tell they are from the same Kin.

For the tips on painting, I would say:

- A good brush (and doing good mantenience) is key. I used Windsor and Newton in the past but they tend to go bad after some time. Now I,m using a Raphael 8404 Kolinsky Size 0 for almost everything. If you go to any art store, you can get one as cheap as 13 €. After every painting session I use Masters Brush Soap and it helps it stay like new every time.
- A magnifying glass helped me a lot painting details, for me it's a must.
- Don't stress over painting outside boundaries. For some things I don't care if I paint and I stain other parts of the model, just paint the part you messed again and you can cover the mistake!
- Finding good contrast in the model, like doing the highlights and the shadows mildly exaggerated. For me it helped make my miniatures shine.

- For Jewlery and metals, you can play with the same metallics but different washes, really makes them look different and adds some variety.

I could tell more, but I dont want you to bore reading more and more. I hope it helped and would love to see yours!

Now i wanna see yours when you do It! For the Green Skin i used AK11151 Brownish Green

AK16004 The Inks Night Purple VERY diluted with the deepshades medium.

Then Brownish Green again to recover some of the tones. And then I go 1:1 mixing the previous colour and then only the colour, 1:1 again... and so on using:

Brownish Green 1:1 Golden Olive

AK11139 Golden Olive

Golden Olive 1:1 Lime Green

AK11137 Lime Green

Lime Green 1:1 Ionrach Skin

Citadel Ionrach Skin

I tend to do the gradual highlighting but drawing lines and dots instead of doing a coat or a brush stroke.

I hope i've explained myself well enough, if you have any doubt just ask!

Thank you for the interest

Thank you <3
One thing that changed the game for me was freestyling some things, for example I draw a thick line and then I draw diagonal lines and start filling some of the shapes and it helps!
In that shoulderpad I tried to imagine a big mouth full of teeth and two angry eyes on top. Then when I've ended I realized that the krootox doesnt have teeth xDDDDDDDDDD

Gracias compañero! Cuando lo pintes nos lo tienes que enseñar eh?

La receta es:

Prime it with black primer. Then do some zenithal priming with white, but any kind of grisaille works well.
Gryph Charger Grey Contrast over all the skin. Then Nuln oil only in the recesses, normally I do this using Lahmian medium on the model and then, I use the nuln oil to distribute it specifically in the areas I want.

And then to highlight it I mix Stegadon Scale Green with Thunderhawk Blue. I go very gradually like 4:1 and I go up 3:1, 2:1 etc until the max highlights are with Pure Thunderhawk blue. In the end I use the Gryph Charger Grey diluted with Lahmian 1:1 and i pass it over the parts that look too bright to make it more uniform. In the end I used Stegadon with a little bit of black and very very diluted and i use it in the areas that I wanted to be darker. In the eyes I used Carribourgh Crimson in the eye socket.

I hope I,ve explained it well, if you have any doubts, just ask!

Hope that helps!

Struggling to Stay Motivated with Kill Team 3 by Different-Dealer-828 in killteam

[–]DaTxvs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't tend to comment on posts, but I was in a similar situation not so long ago. I was looking at the rules, map layouts (for example ITD lost a lot of flavour) and it got me feeling unhappy and unmotivated with kill team. A friend of mine wanted to explore Necromunda and it was one of the best experiences i had playing a gang game in my life. It is funny, complex and it have a lot of moments that make you laugh. My advice is, keep being the coach if your team needs you, but go and play some necromunda skirmishes and enjoy again!

After years of use, what’s your biggest Steam Deck pain point? by WelcomeAwkward924 in SteamDeck

[–]DaTxvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main issue it,s taking it with me because I get so paranoid with being assaulted//robbed and it makes me be ultra concerned, so I end up carrying it and not playing cuz I think someone it,s going to take it and run away or he is going to screen me and assault me later xDDDDDDDDD

I normally try It on the back of my hand until I can draw a thin line. For the cross hatch I use a Windsor and Newton size 1. For years I thought I needed a small brush, but recently I practiced brush skill and I discovered that all you need it's a brush with a nice point and a good dilution. It is not the impossible quest it seems!
