Oopsie!

Oh boy. I’ve wrote an extensive how and why entry that got bombed by server error on the upload. Got lost in the warp. Sorry folks, you’ll have to do with a short version instead…

Where were we...

‘Sad Panda’ aside, I got to work on the set. First I’ve covered bases for each individual piece with AK Interactive Water texture and let them dry. In the meantime I built rock formations with cheap mass produced decorative gears I got online and two remaining Islands with tree bark, crayons and a few of the gears. I used the Gear/Bark/Crayone isnalds to make a link between the theme of the previously made islands and the new gear based rocks.

I then created a set of ‘sandbanks’ by mixing the Army Painter Dark Red wash with droplets of sandy/orange Vallejo paints. Stirred a little with a synthetic brush and let it dry.

Painted everything with a mix of airbrushing, drybrushing, washes and textures. Finally added a few Gamers Grass brown tufts and wrapped thins up with AK Interactive Water texture, following this simple Water Bases Tutorial.
