edonil Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 @Munkey- Dude, that sucks. I'll be praying for you, man. @Fell- Pretty good, actually. Not horribly sleep deprived at the moment. Painted Seamus last night, pretty pleased with how he turned out...still need to figure out how to paint eyes. 10 years of painting, and can't manage it...also got started on Steampunk Dorothy, really enjoying the model.

SteamHammer Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Morning Fell and edonil. A very balanced day so far. Felt lousy in the morning but got better quickly so I think that is just Monday morning blues. Looks like a week of bad weather but the flip side of that is not feeling guilty about not mowing the lawn. And I had a good weekend of starting to put Gencon stuff together.

TheOneWhoFell Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 @edonil: painting eyes... takes a very steady hand. and... 3 layers... minimum to make them look true to life... 4 is best. (a wash to give the eye depth, white (or whatever color you want the majority of the eye), a touch of color for the iris, then take a flesh that is not the same as your face (I ususally go with something darker/pinker) and clean up the edges of the eye (so they look similar). The folks who paint for Malifaux can do the light in the eyes and stuff... but I don't have the money to buy the brushes to do THAT kind of work... I paineted all day Sunday... Finished aSonnia... aJustice (but I need to buy her a base)... alt Justice... Undead Justice... and I'm almost done with Alt 'Dita... I need to get bases for every one of them, and then they'll be ready to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 What size brush do you use for eyes, Fell? And do you use a mixing medium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamHammer Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I can relate to that. A fan is dying in some network panel above me. It sounds similar to white noise torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 What size brush do you use for eyes, Fell? And do you use a mixing medium? the answer to the second question is no... and as for the first... it's.. erm... I don't know... I got it off ebay... it's got a crook in it... maybe the smallest size here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Ah, okay. I've got an 18/0 that I use a lot for it, just never got the technique really explained. What kind of wash do you use? A flesh wash, a black, or some other color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 depends on the model... and the look I'm going for. I like Devlin Mud or Sepia for guys and the more gritty ladies.... I used Black on the Belles I painted... sometimes I use colors like blue or green to give them a painted look... Black is going to look like makeup. browns are going to look more like shadow... as long as they aren't too heavy. Devlin Mud can look really dark sometimes... a Couple layers of Sepia work pretty well though... and it's softer than black or Mud... *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Oh... and don't be afraid to say "that looks awful" and go over an eye with flesh color and start again... it's so small that the pile up of paint wont be that noticeable.
