Webmonkey Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I have another couple of kits to do yet. One is a female elf mage,.. and the other is a male anime character. Just trying to decide which to do first. I'm leaning towards the male character first,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for a more realistic look and try to "bring him to life". Or go with some heavy black-lining, to try to keep that "cell-shaded anime" feel to it???

Webmonkey Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 actually,.. step one,.. thin your paint,.. a lot. Next, regulate your airflow of your brush to get the desired thickness of line. (this is usually done by adjusting the needle with a threaded turn screw at the back of the brush.) I usually work with a pencil line when holding about an inch or two from the surface. If I need larger areas done, I simply pull the brush a bit further away for a wider spray pattern. Though this usually requires doing more passes to achieve the color,.. but I don't have to keep adjusting the needle this way. ---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ---------- then it's just a matter of whatever color you are going to choose to work with.

Dustcrusher Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 "OK, self, after Nashcon, a reunion, and recovery from surgery, let's get back into M2E beta testing....wait, what's this about the last update?" :facepalm: I'm starting to wonder if I should ever beta test anything again. At least this time I got to try it more than once or twice, and with other experienced players. Maybe next time I can contribute for more than 2 release weeks :-\ If I get to play with the current update tomorrow I will report...something, for what little difference it will likely make. This is the story of my life. I rarely get anything of import done (outside of work, if you can count that) because I find myself being pulled in a new direction every few days. I'm going to stop now before I take this in a direction that's going to bring everyone down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
