Oh hello yellow

Citadel Iyanden Yellow through airbursh

Day 2 started much earlier than I started painting. Working from home sharing my hobby desk with my office desk at many points throughout the day I found myself looking at the Iyanden Yellow coast I gave one of the bots (Moray) yesterday, not quite sure if it’s the direction I wanted to go in or not. I wanted to give Contrast paints a go to see how yellow would turn out. This was very much an experiment as my previous uses of contrast have been to tint metals, or help to glaze alien skin tones, rather than create a solid basecoat to then build on from.

I also had Nazdreg Yellow Contrast paint to try, so the next bot up, Stingray, got a brush painted coat. Neither of these two coats may make it past the weekend, and could well get a dunk in some good ol Biostrip 20, but I wanted to see how both the colours and applications compare.

Unfortunately the green of my palette sponge changes the colours a bit in the photo, but you can still see the difference

So I will see how these compare in the morning and make my decision from there.

I do know that the yellow will be glazed up to a desaturated highlight to add contrast and value definition, but it’s fun to experiment at this stage.
