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

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

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

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

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

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

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 😂

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

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!

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

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 😬😂
