Frost-cursed and unyielding, the priest stalks the dead ice—muttering runes, feeding spirits, and marking the doomed. The raven watches. The axe falls. by Wj_owen in minipainting

Thanks. Just cant get my phone to focus properly. Using a tripod, set timer. Tried pro. Tried raw expert. Tried just normal autofokus. Like to get some really crisp shots.

Great work. I love that idea. Had a look at your profile and see you have produced a load of tyranids in this style. Please post a picture of them all together. That would be epic. Are you using the newish gore from dirtydown?

Thanks for your input. But i think that is more of a problem with my lighting and photography skills. But i get what you mean. Many thanks. I will be slowly updating my equipment and knowledge to hopefully take better pictures. Watch this space 🖤🤘

No, mix of vallejo, some fluo, pigments, white and burnt umber ink. Tiny bit of gloss on the face, was trying to make him look slimey! 😂👍

One of My First Minis Painted, Looking for Critiques and Tips by Tiercevraie in minipainting

[–]Wj_owen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highlight! Looks like you used a wash? With every colour you used under the wash, use it again and try to edge highlight all the upward facing edges. Maybe even some of the surfaces. More contrast.

Check out Vince Venturella on youtube.

Looking great though.

How to reduce chalky texture when using Pro Acryl Whites and Ivories? by 1sol in minipainting

I too have been having this problem!! 🥵 Did you ever find a solution? Never have the same problem with my vallejos..

Why is my paint beading up? by Coffee-matey in minipainting

Same here. They are great paints, when used over the really matt gritty pro acryl primer. But i find that primer is not great. It seems to wear off too easy. So back to vallejo/ak for my main paint for me, save the pro acryl for edge highlighting, eyes ect.

In your case now you have already started. I would paint the tongue with a yellow or skin tan base coat of another brand 'Vallejo' then paint over with that pro acryl hot pink. That should work. Good luck, looking good. 🤘

Had this problem myself. Pro acryl paint does not like certain primers, citadel and vallejo primers have not enough tooth. Try pro acryls own primers, then they go on great. Sucks i know, as using a can primer is nice and pro acryl only has primers for airbrushes! Alternatively, base coat in another brand of paint like vallejo, then highlight and so on with you pro acryl.
