@vegel: I use highlighting with mixed colors, then I added a glaze over that to tone down the lines between the paints. I guess I kinda feathered the glaze around a little bit with my brush.
@yazza: sure thing.. use it all you want.
@AntiZombie: You may have a point about the base. nemissary likes to make very interesting custom bases, but he has not found a way for them to be really cool and not having some "busy" look to them also. He is still working out ideas for his tile/tentacle basing ideas.
