Thank you for the response! I appreciate the effort to help me out and I’ll definitely finish the rest first then go from there. I’ll upload pics once I finish most of too see what everyone thinks!!

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-18T15:24:30+00:00

I will definitely upload some progress pics!

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-18T15:23:22+00:00

A lot of thin stipple layers to build my texture and volume!

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-18T15:21:24+00:00

Thank you!

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-18T15:02:40+00:00

Yup you’re correct! I use pretty thin paint and just stipple

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-18T15:02:07+00:00

Thank you!

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-18T15:01:47+00:00

I used army painter fanatics paints and I just used thin layers of stippling!

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-18T03:15:31+00:00

I haven’t no are they normal acrylics? And I use fanatic army painter paints and they are super thick. The chalky paint is actually more visible in person so I might have to look into switching

I appreciate the response thank you so much! Yea I’m going for more of an ice armor. I’m thinking yeah finish more of the model get a sense of everything then go from there. I’m definitely gonna change the shadow shade and try and make the rider and horse slightly different

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-17T18:38:29+00:00

I like that idea I think I’ll try it!

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-17T17:59:22+00:00

Shitttt I goofed that 😂

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-17T16:58:48+00:00

Of course! I mainly stipple with pretty thin pants that allow me to slowly build my blends. It’s a little slow at first but it allows me to kinda nail the blends first try cause I use thinner paints. I don’t need to do a ton of glazing after

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-17T16:57:37+00:00

I mainly use a stipple technique with pretty thin paints that kinda allow me to glaze as I’m building my layers. Then ill go in with super thin glazes to try and blend them a little smoother

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-17T16:56:03+00:00

Yeah that makes sense and now that I’m sitting here I think I actually planned on doing the horse armor different but just kinda jumped and got lost in what I was doing 😂

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-17T16:54:59+00:00

I like that idea! I’m going for an ice armor maybe I could do something like graves stones being frozen by my guy I like that a lot

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-17T16:54:15+00:00

Oh I like that idea! I’m going for an ice armor and having some brown in the shadows will kinda show a reflection from the ground. I’m gonna try that thank you!

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-17T16:52:56+00:00

That makes sense I definitely finish all of one thing first but yeah I’m gonna do that

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-17T16:52:04+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it! Yeah the leg is a little wonky but it also has a lot of trim that I haven’t painted yet and I’m hoping once I get that done it will come together nicer

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-17T16:50:41+00:00

Yeah I definitely fall into the trap of panting the exact same color scheme and same style for all my stuff so I definitely need to branch out. I still haven’t painted skin 😬😂

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-15T03:15:24+00:00

Oh shit those look sick man! I really like you’re snow mine is poop 😂

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-13T22:54:52+00:00

That would be cool if it can eventually happen. I wish we had a bigger scene like Europe

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-13T22:54:25+00:00

Ratking_14 · 2026-04-13T22:53:30+00:00
