A journey into Gnarlwood
Weathering the bamboo
To add a little extra visual interest, I thought I’d apply some weathering and mildew to the pieces. I originally thought I’d just go with a very dry, arid look, but think some mildew will make them look more lived-in (and mask any messy areas!)
Completed bamboo panel, as previous postI’ve got a couple of contrast greens – Plaguebearer Flesh and Aeldari Emerald.
To start with, I applied Plaguebearer Flesh, but it was really feint – barely visible at all I’ve the brown. So while wet, I added a few dabs of Aeldari Emerald at the base of the bamboo and then feathered it up the wet Plaguebearer Flesh contrast that was already on it.
The picture below shows it still wet, but once dry, it makes a really good mildewy bamboo effect.
I’ll tidy up the skulls and detritus at the end!
