So I won a copy of Hivestorm in a raffle...
Sneeze dust and oils!
With the major colouring down it’s time to shift into smaller details and brush work. Firstly, I want to add more layers of colour to the ground. So, taking these three pigment powders I loaded up a large, soft brush and tapped it above the ground to allow the power to fall and spread out how it pleased.
I think it’s added a nice, random look to the ground.
Next up is some enamel washes. I didn’t have much of a method for applying these, I sort of put them where they helped to force some shading or add grim to particular spots. A more time consuming process but it bring out a darker, more gritty appearance
Im gonna call this the first big mistake..but also a necessary step.
I had to seal down the pigments, so I used some “clean spirit” to set all the ground which allowed the pigment to spread out and blend quite nicely.
The downside is that this brought up all the bicarbonate of soda back up through all the work done so far. HOWEVER I will work with it..
In the next update.
