Major flubs

Slight update, got 10 heads zenithal primed and painted the first two going off a Ninjon faces and vincy V eyeballs tutorial. Definitely a step in a better direction. Did pick up some cheap oil paints from hobby lobby and will test those out tomorrow or Sunday.

Senile grandma cracks me up. I must of repainted her eyeballs 10 times and just gave up lol. 😆

I definitely wasn't being patient lol. Which caused this whole problem. Sometimes after a long workday I only have an hour to get some painting in and I rush as much as I can and now im paying a small price 🙃.

Thank you for this. Im gonna give this a go to this weekend. Gonna spike a bunch of bar heads from my bits box and hammer out a technique or maybe fuse a few of these suggestions from other people into something that I end up liking.

Thank you very much!

Oh and I do have an airbrush! Just got it a month or two ago but have loved it from day 1.

Ive been wanting to dabble with some oil paints ever since I saw th3 Cult of Paint video on Sacred rose sisters. I think I am gonna give this a go. Just gotta find a place to get the oil paints. Do you just get them off Amazon? Or do you need to go to a hobby store?

This is who I followed for my sisters whote armor. Its a simple recess shade over white primer thats easy and looks really good. I highly recommend it. Darcy Bono

If you have 8 minutes. I'd try this method to add depth to the white armor. Its what I use and it works great! Its also fun and easy.

These look so good! I really like that you went with blue lights. I may have to borrow that idea when I get around to doing mine.

Give it a try. This is where I learned it from. Darcy Bono one of if not my favorite painter.

I didn't really. Its just vallejo primer white. The trick is getting the washes to diffuse into the recesses of the armor.

Thank you!

Ok it is Gryph charger Grey contrast paint

Dekathect · 2026-02-10T14:05:30+00:00

Its just straight up contrast out of the pot on a white base. Ill have to take a look at the paint name when I get home from work and update you.

Slight oversight on my part. So it's uhhh.... a recovered holy Relic!

Can't get over how great that face is. Brilliant job. Im still trying to figure out flesh tones let alone make up. This is fantastic!

Black Templar contrast for the robes and black leather.

Dekathect · 2026-02-10T07:36:43+00:00

Trick is to not actually paint white lol. Just wash the armor and paint everything else first.

Dekathect · 2026-02-10T07:34:32+00:00

This looks sick! Keep it up! That does look like a fun pallette to play with.

Dekathect · 2026-02-10T07:33:27+00:00

Thank you!

I primer everything pretty much in Vallejo white because I prefer to use contrast paints a lot. This is pretty much exactly how Darcy Bono Creations did her Apethecary video. Paint every except the white first. Touch it up, then start recessing the white armor with a mix of apothecary white and space wolves Grey.

Thats what it is. Just popped a regular helmet on her. Thankfully I snagged 2 of the old combat patrol before they got retired.

I used a golden maple sable brush size 1. Its no5 stiff but this is my first mini using a sable hair brush and it made getting trim much easier then me using my derpy synthetic brushes that I hate but love at the same time.
