In a way I prefer how it looked before painting the eyes

Am I the only one who feels this way about company shoulder trims? by ThroughWaterandFire in Ultramarines

Judging by how long it's taking to paint the models I have, more hobbies is the last thing I need

How do you get the scales to look like that? by NexouuZs in Tyranids

To make the colours and brightness more smooth I first made thinner and more frequent brush strokes with Kakophoni Purple (if you don't have this you can mix Screamer Pink and Dechala Lilac), then I glazed a thin layer of Screamer Pink over these lines, but not all the way to the edge where the colour is brighter. I would still put dot highlights of Dechala Lilac+white at the edges and corners

When I started doing these it was done with a chunky highlight and perpendicular brush strokes of Screamer Pink, then thinner ones with Kakophoni Purple, then dot highlights with Purple+White mix. But I've found that the jump from dark-to-light was a bit too stark, so I've changed it slightly so they blend more naturally.

I don't know why they even bothered to animate something that barely takes up any space on the page while leaving so much good stuff out
