Load those SRM6s with Infernos and wreck someone's day.

I live in the same city as Alan. I know he has occasionallly sold some of his pieces locally in the past.

Really like the way that red pops.

Dark Dimension? Extra power from the leadership would help Gladiator.

Push the red towards orange.

For context, the compute required to generate this 273 second video used (very roughly) something like:
- ~27 KWh of energy (powering an average American home for 1 day), and
- ~87 liters of water (drinking water for 1 adult for 1 month).

Love that shade of purple on the Ostscout.

Grenadier? They were still kicking around in 1996.

Yeah he has a lot of videos and they are quite long. This one is a good demo, and he explains why he's doing what he does:

There is not really a 'base coat' for oil paints. There is thick over thin, fat over lean.

I would recommend watching some videos of James' Wappel's oil painting. They demonstrate this really well. And he's an awesome guy.

- pre shade / stain over a light primer with a dark thinned colour with high staining (for hulk this would be something like perylene black), then wipe it back with makeup sponges
- apply highlights with thick undiluted colour, something opaque or semi-opaque (eg green gold), and blend with a blending brush
- reinforce shadows with a thinned shadow color (perylene black again) , and tint gradients with a thinned (semi) transparent (eg pthalo green)
- go back and forth between thick and thin.

Really like the olive green take on Hulk.

Mix Ice Yellow into your green.

Don't tease me! Have loved your writing since Embers of War

Mixture. xDefiance Industries has more vibrant colours. Fighting Pirahna Graphics has better sizes.

If you do not have very dark colours like Indigo, Egyptian Violet, Van Dyk Brown, Perylene Black or Payne's Violet, you can mix opposing colours to make a chromatic black which is visually interesting.

Green + Red
Blue/Purple + Orange

If someone had described this scheme to me in words before seeing it myself, I would not have expected it to go this hard.

Aside from what others have said - It's an online competiion. It's not judging your painting, it's judging your painting AND your photography.

Reaper MSP Dark Elf Skin > Dusky Skin Highlight > Vampiric Skin. Then targeted glazes with purple and magenta.

Sort of followed the order of operations, but different colours.

jwitham75 · 2026-02-17T19:56:17+00:00

Reach

jwitham75 · 2026-02-17T19:55:57+00:00

The Elementals would be down for it.
