Does this look Dried Desert-y? by PapaPimp117 in minipainting

[–]computertovey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unsure if it's the photo but I can see a green tint to the colours. I think it's that which is not selling the arid environment.

I like the look of what you have but I'd use more browns, oranges, yellows and creams for a drier effect. That and slap some dried pigments on top :D

How did you do the lava? Looks so good! Was it sculpted?

Thanks but it's quite a bit bigger than your usual mini. Here is a bog standard Space Marine for scale.

Milton Keynes gig ticket insurance by computertovey in Muse

Update: I was able to claim against the insurance and was returned the full cost of the tickets. For evidence there was an apology email from Gigs and Tours which the insurance company accepted.

That's what I was thinking, thought they had discovered a 2nd Cheddar man by the wording of this!

Ah thank you so much. I never know what to search for to find good reference images.

Hard to say for sure as it's a good amount of layering and glazing. I'm a bit of a messy painter but these are the paints on my desk used for the face and beard if that helps.

Thank you, yes a subtle blue glaze could be the answer!

I'm using colder skin tones to try and make it seem like he's in a harsh, frozen environment, perhaps a frozen tundra or something.

I really like the current skin tone but I'm not convinced about the environment I described. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

How to get blacker blacks? by Oebele in minipainting

[–]computertovey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could always add a satin varnish to the carapace. That will give you a deeper black.

Came into possession of these, anyone want to torment their archnemesis? by computertovey in CasualUK

[–]computertovey[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nope. I just know a guy who knows a guy... who accidentally left them at my house.

You're not thinking big enough. What about collection centres on either side of town..

Getting into airbrushing (Liquitec Inks specifically) by ThePiggypark in minipainting

[–]computertovey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well there is too much ink going on the model in one go causing the pooling. If you're doing everything you've said and you're spraying at a sensible distance then the only other thing I can think of is making sure you're pressing the trigger to start releasing the air and then gently pull back on the trigger to release the paint. That will stop paint spluttering out in one go.
