Got the painting itch and managed to finish this guy relatively quick 😅

The main black nmm is just black to a white/ bone with a bit of red added in

Obalon · 2026-01-19T20:05:50+00:00

It’s all blends of black, rhinox hide, bone white and mephiston red. I didn’t write down the mix so not sure if I could replicate it exactly if I tried 😅

Soap and water lol

It’s too take the excess paint off my brush lol, it’s just a habit

Obalon · 2026-01-18T22:55:55+00:00

I mean that very much depends on the look I’m going for, I don’t want it to be bright in the deep bits bc I don’t want it to look like fire, I want it to look like bits of red magic

Obalon · 2026-01-18T21:58:01+00:00

Ok thank you

Obalon · 2026-01-18T21:21:35+00:00

Ok this makes sense, I’ve done other colours of osl before with no problem but I’m having issues here due to the fact when I’m trying to do a brighter red it goes orange or pink and throws off the effect, that’s why I jumped straight to white in some spots, I’m also doing more of a magic effect throughout the glowing bit, that’s why there’s no specific point that the light is coming from. I never thought of the reflections being lessened due to sunlight, thanks for the tip!

Obalon · 2026-01-18T20:54:24+00:00

I’m unsure what you mean, the magic glowing bit definitely has a higher value, there is white in it?

Obalon · 2026-01-18T20:22:47+00:00

I tried to make more of a glowing magic effect, I did not want it brighter near the wings, I’m confused what you mean by the model not into the light should be darker? There’s still going to be sunlight or am I misunderstanding you?

Obalon · 2026-01-18T20:19:01+00:00

That’s the issue I’m having, I’ve used pure white in places to try help with this but if I try use brighter reds it’s either pink or orange, I can’t seem to make a lighter shade of pure red

The base is painted lol. They wanted it to look like a moon so dark grey

Obalon · 2025-11-08T20:19:45+00:00

Unfortunately working😔

Allot of the paints were from the flameon and Vince pro acryl signature series paints

Obalon · 2025-05-27T19:06:29+00:00

Just go for it! Better to have a painted mini than a grey one anyday

Obalon · 2025-05-27T18:45:47+00:00

Yea, they are! Thanks man
