>>96772668>I ran out of armypainter pre-cut papers recently and just went back to using cooking parchment paper, and I like it waaaaay more than the army painter branded paperBecause AP, just like with everything else, uses the cheapest bottom of the barrel garbage. Try AK papers, it's good. Redgrass is also pretty awesome.
finished this guy up
How is my boner looking so far lads?Anyone wants to sit on top of it? I need some colors for that trophy helmet.
>>96773039based skeletor enjoyer.
>>96773030Nice. Very clean.I finished this guy. didn't take proper pics though, it's too late for that.
>>96773039We love him.
Reposting my war despot.Chorfs have easily become my favorite army I've painted. Not a single thing on these models I haven't enjoyed painting or learning.>>96773039Should do a space shark. Not sure if they're distinct from their helmets though.
>>96773072>Should do a space sharkAlready did one for Abaddon.
>>96773080Damn. And I thought I was being original.
>>96773030This opened smaller than i expected and I thought the knees were bare skin. It looked like they were wearing a skirt an knee-high bootsThen it opened in full and i was dissapointedExcellent paintjob though anon, I love it
look at this cool little dude i fished from my bitz boxim going to paint him
>>96773158>Drive me closer, I want to slap him.
>>96773168but in german
>>96773257Yeah he could also be cranking his cyber-hog and saluting
>>96773259
>get an airbrush>consider work safety>check the manufacturer's (H&S) official video tutorials: Nah, I don't wear any mask for acrylics, it's annoying, just spray.>check Iwata spokesperson: Not wearing any mask, just sprays. >check actual artists who spray these massive canvases: literally not a single one wears any mask for acrylics, they just spray for days.>check on reddit: an open window right above the table, dedicated air filtration system, airbrush booth with filtration, and a P3 rated mask on top of thatWhat compels this?
>>96773327>trying to bait this exact same argument we've had a million times before like a fucking retardWhat compels this?
>>96773327Idk what to tell you, anon. When I airbrush for any extended time in my small work space if I don't mask up I feel notably shittier the next day, like I'm having allergy problems. So I just do it.
>>96772989>>96765530Done with the chaplain small update. Hopefully it's a slight glow up and not a glow down. I was tempted to strip it down and remake it entirely but I didn't want to steal its sovl>>96768694Very cool collection anon>>96773030Very neat job
>>96773327overly sheltered zoomers from single parent households who are scared of their own shadow we have been through this thousand times
>>96773334I'm not baiting, picrel. This is for acrylics.
>>96773360I don't give a fuck how some redditor sprays his acrylics and neither should you, faggot. Maybe you should consider spending more time actually painting miniatures instead of getting angry on how other people use their airbrushes.
>>96773327Actually, H&S says that you should wear a mask IF you can't provide some sort of ventilation but even open window or door will suffice. Rest is fearmongering, especially with Reddit having some sort of self-reinfocing loop.
>>96773360this will give you brain damage from the costant bumping into the struts faster than huffing paint ever could
>>96773158He's from the old Vindicator, possible the most horrendous kit to build of all time
>>96773030Don't like elves personally but that's a very fine paint job anon>>96773039Looking good!>>96773047Love all the different colors on this one. Very sharp and clean>>96773072Those green gemstones are super sweet looking in particular. Very solid overall>>96773347Definitely an improvement, looks very nice. Glad you didn't strip it, would've been a shame.Picrel is what I'm working on atm. Thought it would be fun to have each killa kan representing different ork clans since I got kinda tired of painting goffs
>>96773490And these are my wife's heavy intercessors
>>96773327some people don't care. I used to do a lot of spray painting, both recreationally and professionally. I never wore a mask, but that's because I'm a retard who doesn't care. just because some people are retarded doesn't mean breathing paint in isn't bad for you eventually
>>96773508Your wife's pretty good.
>>96773508Nice minis, is she single?
>>96773606this must be the most reddit coded "joke" in existence
>>96773508*our wife's
>>96773508normalfags out
>>96773610'Reddit coded' would be asking if your toddler was single
>>96773610i also choose this anon's wife
>there are anons in this thread with hobby gfs/wivesjust kill me happy for you though
>>96773490>Definitely an improvement, looks very nice.Thanks man. Really dig your vibrant colours tooBy any chance did you post some good looking deathwing termies some time ago? I remember an anon posting those saying their wife did the freehands on them, and seeing you posting some nicely wife-painted DA makes me think there's a connection
>>96773508>>96773490Hell yeah man. Just finished helping my gf build her DoK spearhead so she can start painting her first models.
>>96773606>>96773613>>96773615all these (you)s lmao>normalfags outI've been here since 2007, I'm probably as autistic as you are if not more so>>96773648Thx anon! And yes I believe that might have been me posting her deathwing knights. You talking about these guys right?>>96773610It's pretty bland that's for sure
>>96773739>You talking about these guys right?I am. And again, they look great.I'm initiating a friend to the hobby and he chose Dark Angels; I've ever only painted Black Templars basically so any good inspo to show him and help him out with his first legion boys is welcome, definitely gonna use your guys as such!
>>96773688She's doing that spearhead as her first mini project? Damn, that's gonna be quite the challenge. I hope you'll guide her well anon
>>96773047>>96773103>>96773347>>96773490Thank you anons! Don't know how to format this reply honestly>>96773047Lovely colors, I especially dig the silver and his cloak.>>96773347Definitely an improvement with that additional weathering. Looks great as always, anon.>>96773103>wearing a skirt an knee-high bootsYou know what, I'd buy that.>>96773490Those vibrant colors are fantastic, they look great.
>>96773775Thanks for the kind words anon!Here's a few more of her recently finished minis, don't think I've posted most of these hereBtw if your buddy wants the green recipe my wife's happy to share it, but it requires either glazing or airbrush & a dark green oil wash, so I'm afraid it's not super beginner friendly
>>96773905Ayy thx anon!
>>96773327First time i used my airbrush with no mask i was blowing wazdakka red out of my nose for a week. Anyone who doesn't wear a mask is either an idiot or some slav level not giving a fuck. You are filling the air you breathe with chemical particulate. Dont be a dumbass and risk your health.
Glowy engines, next to decide whether all the windows and running lights need to glow as well
>>96773968I wear no mask whatsoever and I never had any problem like you. I just open the window and wear a sweater. I've worked with plenty of academic painters who used airbrush and they never used any masks either.
I don't know what to color paint to the little reliefs on this juggernaut's shoulders. As you can see the yellow looks kind of ugly and black is pretty dark but I don't want to just put a bunch of wash in there.
>>96774003also how does this marine look? I haven't painted anything primaris in almost 2 years and I've developed a lot since then. I'm not a huge fan of edge highlights and try to layer or wet blend if I'm feeling bold. I'm not sure what color to go with for the ammo drum on his waist
>>96774003That yellow looks good to me honestly. Red and yellow makes me hunger for burgerslop but that's besides the point>>96774022Marine looks pretty good as far as I can tell. The satin finish of the blue makes it a bit hard to judge the paintjob looking at these images, but if you don't wanna edge highlight it might look too flat fully matte
I have a bunch of used 1ml and 200ul pipette tips. Any ideas on what I could use them for?
>>96774163
>>96774163>usedShouldn't used medical material get incinerated?
>>96773739what weapons are these? Those aren't on the sprue right?
>>96774275They're these polearms from Archie's forge. Can recommend, their quality is top notch. The bionic arms and legs are also from themhttps://www.archiesforge.co.uk/products/large-power-axes-set-of-6?_pos=4&_sid=b6665f460&_ss=r
Spinning
>>96773778Yeah but I'm not forcing her to do the whole thing at once. Whichever unit/model she wants to paint first will technically be the first. We just tackled building the whole thing so she can try Spearhead as a game.
>>96774697Good technical work, 0/10 for default scheme.
Finally got round to stripping and repainting an old RT mini I bought about 25 years ago. Still a way to go and I want him ready for a game tomorrow. Wish me luck anons!
>>96773327I don't use an airbrush but I mask up and ventilate a small room with two open windows and fans when I cut xps foam with my hot wire cutter. I do this even though the manufacturers say its perfectly fine to breath the fumes as long as you are in a vented room. I don't trust manufacturers when they say things because I work in manufacturing. For instance I make things for food grade packaging and alot of the chemicals involved in the process are no where near food grade acceptable but since the residuals in the end product are below what is unacceptable for food grade it is considered "food grade" packaging. I imagine this is how all manufacturing rates their product safety and I imagine it's far worse when you are getting products manufactured from China or Taiwan.
>>96774807No hate I love a good box art scheme
>>96774888aaa forgive me I'm a phoneposting retard
>>96773327>go to job site>old welder tells you wearing a mask is for pussies>he will die of lung cancer at 62 btw
Damn, didn't expect my asses to made to banner.Drybrushed this guy fur, I think I should use darker shade as base coat, even with wash he looks quite bright compared to his intended rider. Still, would you go even brighter with his fur or leave him as this? Started with drybrushing what I used as base shade (Grey Blue), then mixed it a bit with Snow Blue, then pure Snow Blue and finished with White Grey.
>>96775018>manufacturers tell you to just open the window/door>professional artist tells you to just open the window/door>multiple generations of artists who never bothered to use a mask and they were all fine
>>96775059there have been multiple generations of slavs working in foundries without masks but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. does putting a fan in the window and wearing a mask somehow make it harder to paint? can you not afford the $40 expense? or do you have some kind of ocd where wearing something on your face makes you sperg out? it amazes me that people who are too scared to even brush paint enamels because of "toxic chemicals" are also completely unwilling to take even effortless precautions when it comes to airbrushing.
>>96775133If you push that goalpost a bit further, it will be in a different time zone. That's what I'm saying, just open the window (like the manufacturer tells you to, and what artists did for ages now). There's no need to act like acrylic paint is a fine dust straight from Chernobyl reactor.
>>96775133Nigga it ain't no foundry it ain't no Chinese sweatshop it's acrylics nigga it's the same thing u get in yo big as mouth when you suck yo paintbrush ain't even no solvent in it ain't enamel either just acrylics and air nigga
>>96775153>>96775159NTA but I don't trust manufacturers at all. To go back to my post here >>96774849With the food grade chemicals, some of them are dyes which are supposed to have no things like lead or mercury in them. I'm not privy to the quality control reports of the chemical company that makes the dyes but our water treatment part of our process does have mercury and lead residuals in it. Where it comes from, who knows, but mercury and lead were in dyes forever up until recently. I wouldn't trust a manufacturer of non toxic paints to be non toxic.
>>96775225Then use the redditor setup for all I care.
>>96775153it's aerosolized plastic. even if there are no vocs you should understand that breathing in particulates isn't a good habit. I wear a dust mask when I'm doing woodworking just because breathing sawdust sucks.
>>96775232You do seem to care. Just throwing my two cents out there that manufacturers tend to be cute with guidelines on what is healthy for people and it's done with a wink and a now with the government typically.
>>96775133Mask is enough, no point in keeping window open. I don't know how it works in your place of living, mine have temperatures outside below 10C for 2/3 of the year. I would go bankrupt for trying to keep temperature inside room warm with window open for entire painting time. But this whole discussion is pointless since it was solved long time ago - paint particles are small but not THAT small and heavy enough to stay in air only for a short time. Pro artists knows how to control their stream so whatever that fails to land on the model is landing on table or is low in amount to be neglectable. If you would spray with some absurd pressures like 3 bar and into cardboard box, you could see over spray bouncing back but you usually keep pressure below 2 bars anyway where it's not a issue. Don't believe me? Set up light source and see for yourself. P3 mask will handle anything that could bounce back, if you are that worried. What you could actually require ventilation are lacquers due to fumes but if you spray acrylics, it's completely fine.Now, why is Reddit and by extention social media spreading the fear? Because they don't fucking understand what they are doing and parrot each other, trying to sound smart. Go ahead and ask one of them about thinning paints. In 90% cases they will start talking about "milk consistency" they heard about in one of videos/etc but will never, EVER be able to explain what it actually means and more importantly, WHY they do this. Or how many Gunpla builders would insist on applying gloss layer over paint, then apply panel lining and then matt/satin coat but would be unable to explain why, just "that's how it should be done" (it's really about how wash is next to impossible to clean from matt surface while piss easy to wipe from glossy, even surface).
>>96773905Thanks as always kind anime poster, and you're welcome>>96773929He's likely not there yet (I don't have an airbrush myself..), for now I taught him to do a basecoat, wash and drybrush+highlights for a quick result and to learn some basic techniques- although I encourage him to try different recipes and experiment since he's painting several intercessors which are good to learn and test things on. Pic rel is his first marine ever, I think it's a really good result for a first timer, definitely better than my first mini.The dark angels you posted look great by the way, great inspo for DAs.>>96774022I like the blue and the stark panel lining helps visual interest, highlighting might add some more details but as the other anon said it's hard to judge overall as it's quite a small image>>96774904Cool champion! I would try and make the tilt shield design a bit more complete, and rely more on layering rather than washes for the cloth, but solid paintjob anyway
>>96772878Yeah, sorry, that was me - and I think a few years later I sent you that tiny old metal terminator one. Glad you're still posting here!
>>96773441>possible the most horrendous kit to build of all timeI dunno...
>>96773929>it requires either glazing or airbrush & a dark green oil washfor that?
for ss i want a full thread without the cyclical sperging, does that ship internationally?
>>96775280Thanks!>I would try and make the tilt shield design a bit more complete, and rely more on layering rather than washes for the clothWorking up the courage to freehand more I'm planning on getting to his shield and writing on his tassles either tonight or tomorrow. So I suppose I'll be a man and glaze my tabbard...
why are we fighting?
>>96775477Just don't shill, post nigger minis, youtuber click sloppa, contrast sloppa, non-game painting, etc...Is that so hard?
>>96775540Because if we stop, they win.
>>96775540For victory
>>96774815Almost done
Please forgive my dog shit photo skills

Does anyone have the new Stahly swatches with the brand new Vallejo Metal Color range? He just updated it a few hours ago.
>>96776091Give me a moment, I'll grab it. t. original uploader
>>96773327I'm more worried about the blowback particles hitting my walls and closet door since I have to paint at my computer desk. I'd only wear a mask with varnish and maybe primer.
>>96776091>>96776102>"PS: Next week I'll also update the 7-in-1 document and the combined Game & Model Color swatch!"You'll have to wait a bit, anon.
>>96773072I hate nuchorfs so much its unreal.My wife bought me a secondhand despot because she knows I collect chorfs .... the 4th ed onesIm gonna convert the shit out of the dude until he looks the part.The beard gems are goingThe weapon will be an axThe horns will probably go tooHelmet gem, filedMake the helmet taller somehowTry and give him a moustacheany more suggestions, /wip/?
>>96776246Ah, dang. I thought it'd be on the 7-in-1 as well because the normal swatch page seems to be updated based on his tweet. Guess it's a bit more work to update that thing.Thanks anyway, you're a doll for responding so quickly.
>>96776268Vallejo is getting updated now, the complete one later. No clue why.
>>96773030What's your photography set up look like? I feel like I'm only getting worse at mini photography and seem to get the best pictures when it's just my models on the desk vs trying to set up a backdrop and lighting.
Thanks to anime-chan for the feather advice, I think it came out a lot better than I was hoping. Here's the finished snake and lady doing battle with some explorers, hope you guys like
GW realizing they can just make every model a hollow shell where you just assemble it like rebuilding the shell of a broken egg has been a disaster for the hobby.
>>96776008>non game painting is fineNo, there's a board for that.
A close up of the princess of frogs
>>96776331Cute purple girl and frog. I would maybe plan this out so that your main warrior guy wasn't facing away though.
>>96775615>non-game paintingwhat the fuck that even means
And the Sun Cloaks, a city guard for my setting
>>96776350Thanks! Yeah, it's a bit awkward with positioning with the Amphisbaena's face
>>96776351People posting wips of stuff that has nothing to do with /tg/non-game on a game board, rather self explanatory.
>>96776389Does this new rule applies to scale modelling in your headcanon?
>>96776404It's literally off-topic, retard.
>>96776445You will never be a janny.
This thread has really gone to shit since the downtime. Idk if it's because of 40kg tourists, or what. I assume it's literally 1 guy but still. Poison skittles and all that.
>>96776389every model can be a game model, i have seen people playing gaslands with 30cm tanks and vehicles
>>96776469Nah, we still have cool regulars and there are minis posted all the time, I dont know why people cant just ignore baits. Your comment doesnt help either, post about cool stuff instead.
Alright, it's probably stupid question but - in airbrushes with threaded nozzle, I would screw nozzle first and then slowly insert needle from the back until it stops at nozzle itself, ensuring that its in right position. But how should I insert the needle in case of airbrush with so called "floating" nozzle?
>>96776862same way, the only difference is that the nozzle is kept in palce by the nozzle cap instead
Guys primer went on too thick and he painted over it while it was still drying and woke up to having accidentally created the best work leather look i have ever seen Mahogany Mr. Color with Tan Aqueous Hobby Color, I think?https://x.com/nobunobu_1971/status/1978964228842156062
>>96776963I thought that it needs needle for centering itself.
>>96777006afaik the are tappered to do that on their own, the manufacturer shoudl have a guido on it tho, if not iwata sure does
>>96776551Can be ≠ isWe've got anons who post stuff and explicitly state its not for gaming and is not related to gaming.
>>96777278and you seem the only one to sperg about it, so leave it already and let's have a nice thread again, post a model for a change or something
>>96777359>if I assume that all anons I disagree with are just one anon, then their opinions mean nothing
anyone got a favorite superglue that frosts the least?
>>96777278All my minis are not for gaming. I've never played a single game of Warhammer in my life.Also, when my Horten arrives, I will post it here just to spite you, sperg.
>>96777427Game minis are game related, midwit.Busts of /lit/ characters are not.
>>96777405Just post minatures.
>>96777464What you gonna do about it lmao
>>96775738Ready for space marine operations, let's show those primaris how the old-school fight
>>96775280Ty! And yes that first mini of his is really fucking good for his first try, makes my first years in this hobby look like toddler work in comparison>>96776331>>96776345>>96776364Love the vibrant colors here, and that pipe smoking toad is cool as hell
>>96777502The miyabi of space marines
>>96777405it doesn't really matter if you are one or a thousand, when the matter is beyond your control and accepted by the rest of the board, so just post miniatures
>>96777880Thanks anon! I'm normally too intimidated to post here but I'll never improve if I don't start sharing my work
It's crazy how much better real sable brushes are than even quality synthetics.
>>96779033There's even quality differences between the sables. I just wish I could find out why the tips on all mine lose their sharpness after a couple projects.
>>96779210Do you let paint creep up in the ferrule? Cause that is how you ruin any brush.
>>96779299Nope. I baby the fuck out of them. It's not the bristles splaying. It's the bristles literally wearing down and losing length.
Got the last two desert stealth suits painted up, but don't worry because I've got three more to keep fooling around with! Those will be in a dry green color scheme.I did get a wash medium for the black lining but frankly it didn't really make a difference. It was a bit more efficient than the water but otherwise I didn't feel much of a difference.I used agrax and camoshade for the xv25.
>>96776008Ty anon. I'm working on a viking warband for Pillage. The Victrix models are really nice to paint.
>>96779417breh everyone keeps telling you the point of a panel line wash is that you wipe away anything that's not in the panel lines. if you're just painting it on it doesn't matter what you're thinning it with.
Behold, blue
>>96779881Whoops, phone postingI’m going to paint the blues first. I won’t actually highlight the blue until the red and pink base coats are completed. The teeth and talons will be at the end. I’ll paint the base near the end as well. The final step is going to be glossing the tongues and red sections
>>96779304Do you use them with metallics? I've heard the flake in metallic paint can damage brushes.
>>96779902Nope. No metals, no shades/washes, no paint past the middle of the brush, and soaped almost every session.
>>96779210What kinda brushes you tried? I've had one artis opus and 2 out of 3 Winston & Newton brushes get totally fucked for no good reason after a couple months of use. Babied the shit out of them. Best brand I've tried so far is Raphael, 2 for 2 still going strong after at least 6 months of use
>>96779881>>96779900You're the dude with the recast forgeworld dragon yes? If so you did well with the greenstuff. Can't tell what areas you fixed up anymoreNot sure why I placed the guys with heads in the back out of focus here lol
>>96776285It's nothing fancy, just a cheap chinesium light box with a ring of leds at the top and blasting my desk lamp on the mini. Having an actual piece of fabric helps a lot but you can just as well use pieces of paper. You know what I think I'll do an updated guide later today and post it here. Gotta give me a bit though, I just woke up
>>96779757>The Victrix models are really nice to paint.yeah, i got some early saxons for conversion fodder for frostgrave and was pleasantly surprised at how good the models actually are
>>96780599I really love your painting style anon
>>96780777hey thanks
So is rock hard dried paint a certain RiP? Or is there a way to loosen it up?
>>96780888into the trash it goes, acrylic paint becomes plastic when it dries, you are not going to undo that process
>>96780888I once somewhat revived dried paints with generous amount of dedicated thinner but I wouldn't count on it. Single pot or bottle isn't worth it, better buy new one.
>>96779417I'd rather see some craftpaint anon stuff than this
does this guy look vaguely look like a thousand son?kitbashing a DW group of traitor legion is hard
>>96780599>>96780872I agree with that other anon. Your style is very nice. I would lay it down by the fire and make sweet love to it.
>>96773981love to see some BFG here! Great stuff!I have painted a shitload of BFG models last year. The game is great. I need to get back into it.
>>96781534Honestly, no. If you hadn't said so, I would have imagined he'd be an Exorcist with a weird helmet.You might want to push on the egyptian aesthetics although those are part of post heresy 1k sons I guess so possibly not what you're aiming for
>>96781534The helmet is the most specific thing about it, but it's also almost too much in a sense. Like giving a Space Wolf Blackshield a Wolf helmet. Nobody else had that style. But as the same time the color scheme really did the heavy lifting for the thousand sons, so once it's all painted black the helmet alone might not even click with people, especially if hidden behind a gorget. I was thinking maybe some of those shoulderpads with the rims the HH resin kits had would be another subtle clue. Not exactly subtle, but if you want more flavor you could give him a force-kopesh instead of a staff. That way people will probably know exactly what it is, even when he is wearing black.
>>96781580>fancy trim
>>96775615what do you mean by that?
>>96781534That's just a librarianYou need crests, iconography, and/or trim for a TSon to come across

But this shit came off like nothing the moment I introduced an oil wash. I curse myself for not applying a gloss varnish, but seriously I literally never got this issue even when not using it with other paint brands.
>>96780599Did you paint that one? Cause the face is excellent.
>>96781723>don't bother with gloss varnish
>>96781723>>man I thought that guy complaining about AP and oil/enamel was exaggerating and being biasedBro I literally provided proof of the AP fuckery. t. guy complaining about AP.
>>96782008You know funny thing I saw people in /40kg/(yeah, yeah) trying to discredit that test you made for some reason.
I guess I will call them finished since I don't think I can do them better.What's your opinion?
>>96782034Oof, I didn't realize how wobbly the spear on the standing girl was.Overall really nice though. Could maybe do some more shading/highlighting on the wolf/fox/thing's fur. They all look good though.
>>96782048In theory I could again attempt to straighten it (already did before assembly but it just returned to bendy form for some reason) but don't know if hairdryer wouldn't damage the paint (mind you, it's European one, not heatgun people use in US).I'm not sure if I could highlight fur more, it was already drybrushed with white grey in the end, I'm afraid I should had started with darker color as a base.
>>96779911>soaped almost every sessionThis is why you're fucking up your brushes.
>>96774320>Archie's forgeTheir stuff look good and I'm sure it's good quality but it's far too expensive for some 3rd party resin prints. It's basically GW prices.
>>96782197Actually, let me correct myself, it's definitely more expensive than GW.
>>96782183NTA but I also use soap (not liquid, the solid one) to clean my brushes after use, from time to time also clean them with shampoo and they are just fine.
Need some technical support.So, I’d heard here that Badger Stynlrez primer was pretty decent, so I picked some up when I needed more primer. I found it worked great on the mini, but it would rapidly clog up my airbrush. I tried thinning it with some Vallejo airbrush thinner I had sitting around, and this is the result I get: an incredibly smooth, glossy primer coat that ends up not taking paint well - too smooth! Any advice on whether I should be thinning the primer with something else - water, rubbing alcohol, or? Or should I suck it up or try boosting the pressure on my air compressor and power through it?
>>96781566:3>>96781782yes, thx, it's part of a frostgrave warband i'll never play withhere's a photo of the others so far before i painted that one
>>96782034what models
>>96782212looks like you flooded the thing, primer should be a thin coatcan't speak for stynylrez but when i prime i thin as little as i can get away with, if any, and use like 30psi
>>96782211If you wash hair too often it dries out and fucks up the ability to hold a point. Brush soap is a literal scam. Just use a little dish soap if you've drowned a brush in something and need to rescue it. Otherwise stick to water.
>>96780872I really like the red undertones in that mask
>>96782273Eldfall Chronicles, Wayfarers pack. Indie skirmish game. I picked it up solely for painting since I wanted to try doing some fantasy minis for a change. My LGS seems to be really into it recently (understandable since they were very Infinity focused for quite some time, Eldfall is pretty much fantasy Infinity and unlike Warcrow, minis are all Unicool instead of Siocast which means good details instead of rubbery mess).
>>96782297Oh you mean brush soap, not normal one. Yeah, I don't think it makes sense to use or buy one, I asked at art shop and they couldn't say what actually makes it different from normal soap and some art student girl giggled a bit after hearing the question and said she clean her brushes in literal dishwashing liquid and they are just fine. A little too much for my taste so I follow my mother approach - normal bar soap at the end of the day with proper rinse and occasionally woman's shampoo treatment.I also have small bottle of Vallejo "brush cleaning solution" which is supposed to not damage natural hair but I'm not entirely convinced as it smells a bit like alcohol.
