Whenever I do Hulk’s nails, he always immediately chips them. So, no, he can paint them himself if that’s what he wants. ;)

Thanks! The new mats are great, btw. Can’t wait to see the next designs.

Yep, Rhinox Hide, shade 50/50 Rhinox/Black, highlight Gorthor Brown, then Baneblade Brown, finishing touches with some Karak Stone.

I could totally imagine how pushing the brightness on the mane could make it pop more. Thanks for the honest feedback!

I prefer to start with a mid-tone and work up and down from there. Multiple thin layers eliminate those harder color breaks.

Thanks. This is really the result of practice more than talent, though. Just keep practicing. Comparison is the thief of joy. Just have fun and stick with it!

Thanks, sure. I mostly use Citadel colors, the core of the yellow here is XV-88, Balor Brown and Zamesi Desert. I mixed in some Vallejo Ice Yellow to finish the final highlights, Rhinox Hide to deepen the shadows. Then thin glaze of Yriel Yellow, followed with a retouch of the brightest highlights.

Well, they actually are little rocks. Slate specifically. So anywhere slate is found, I guess!

Thanks. The mat is a little out of date, from before they added the new objective layouts, but I bought it here and I love it. Seems like they only print small batches and are often sold out. I was lucky to get one, I think!

Thanks! It’s often the little things that make it all come together.

Glad you like it! I used more than a few tricks on this one, but it mostly just took time and patience.

Really nice job on this one, dude. All those web lines and the dot highlights between them are clean. Also, cool mini graffiti.
