edonil Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 More than a basecoat, lol. Try some broad highlighting/shading stuff on things. And honestly, Mako, I can link you to a $20 airbrush that'll work just well for basecoating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah, the problem is housing. Can't airbrush in a rental place, and the weather outside is either too hot or too cold for it to go well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 ...why can't you? Get a box, some compressed air, a mask and do it in short bursts. You don't need a compressor for basecoating...at least, I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 The nice thing is that the colors all match up to one of Vallejo's regular colors, so that's a handy trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Does sound handy, but I dont use vallejo *grin* A mate of mine uses it so I might see if I can borrow a little to try it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah, I'm still sticking with reaper overall, personally. The triads are just way too handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 When I get the chance to paint next? A torakage, who I'm debating on whether or not to do a black wash over the basecoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Shaper Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I haven't painted for over a week now... had my tattoo started on the weekend which was good as I also finished my sleeve and last Sunday I was suppose to have a day of playing Malifaux but we ended up playing X Wing and Zombicide instead!

SteamHammer Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Morning folks. What's new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've been wanting to get some ink for ages. A combination of laziness, fear of ruining job prospects (the one that's been there since I was 16), and fear of not wanting it 6 months later are the main things that have stopped me. I've considered adding the Malifaux :crows to the other ink I've been wanting. Might start with it- seems like it'd be a good intro tattoo. Perhaps the Avalonian or Khaliman faction icons (ring of thorns and a southward crescent with 3 points on top) to that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hello...ello...lo...lo...o Ooh, spooky. How's everyone tonight? I'm having a great time with izamu, found a set of arrows I'd missed so just letting them glue in place before I green stuff the seams and add his arms and head. Don't know why I like working with the plastics, although them being really pretty certainly helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
