Experimenting with the new pinks aka I have no idea what I'm doing.

Huge picture for this update.


Same as normal really with the grey and Liche Purple set up, but threw in some Screamer Pink around the place to mix it up. Never even seen it dry before this. Got lucky and it turns out to be the dark pink colour I was looking for when I got those three paints.
I already have them with slight variations in skin tone for the Daemonettes, going to be fun to have that with their hair and clothes as well. Uniform, but at the same time not quite.

I also really like how it looks next to the purple so far. Perhaps in the future some Daemonettes need to have streaks in their hair.

now that´s what i call a big update

and yes... some streaks would look good on your minis...

as for the paintjob as is... looks very good... will be a nice transition of blue to pink... some castiung effects again maybe?

Perhaps, but I use the glowing to represent an upgrade. Annoying as I like to do glowing effects.

oh... now that is what i call a bummer then... hmm.... and you do thm glowy things so nice looking too....

Just have to find some more places to shove glow effects then.

Probably the herald, though at least it has some gems which are also fun. Well to look at at the end.

Well not a drop of the usual pink has touched this yet. I think though in future for the claws and such I'll make the purple fade into Screamer Pink like it was in the previous picture a bit.

I've worked through all of them now. I suppose it'll be ready for its glaze soon, which of course will help fix up the "skirt" later.

that stronger pink now looks definatly different to you other works... does it blend in well with your others?

I'm not sure this one will end up blending in that well with the others unfortunately. Should have kept going with it as normal instead of trying to use every colour at once perhaps.

well... it looks a bit much pinky...porky even^^

Yeah, depending on how it turns out I may not even use half of those pinks for a while again.

i know that feeling very well... baught too many paints myself that i have little to no use for...^^

The new pinks are interesting.

In a good way hopefully. It's somewhat normal to have paints you never use, for me it's yellow. It just sits around doing nothing, orange would as well if I didn't use it for squad markings.

Well, as Slaanesh is one of the preferred forces of mine, I find the pinks looking good the way they are blended to the purples

Yeah, yellow requires so much work to use. stuff is always so thin pigment wise no matter who makes it.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I have used GW/Vallejo/Howard Hues/Pactra/Polly-S and Testors

Thanks, I like how they blend together too.

Worked on it a bit more and starting to get somewhere I like with it now. Leaves and skull is just based at this point.


Anyway I need to hurry up and get this done so I can get started on my entry for nerdfest09's competition.
My entry was primed a while back. But, never got around to painting it. Sort of lucky that way.

It's got gems and rivets, but nowhere I can see to add any OSL. Perhaps the eyes, but it'd probably be better off with the Seeker eye treatment instead.

the trasitions are looking good on the pinky^^...and the skull came out quite nice too! nice contrast there to the rest of the mini!

and

It's got gems and rivets

...and boobs... don´´t forget about the boobs

Well one at least.

oh... now that i had a second look... yeah... only one...pfff...well there are one armed ones too i guess...

Well got it out of the way now so I can get started on that comp.

Well started work on my entry to Nerdfest09's GBT comp, going to put WIP shots there occasionally as well. But, more here so I don't spam the thread there too much.

Base colours down so far. Going to try to take my time with this one and try to make it better or at least as good as Lukuh came out.


The only thing I don't have planned for this yet is OSL. Going to do some rune work on the loincloth as sort of a boarder on it. Looks sort of rough as usual at this point.

you could always go wild with osl on the eyes...just saying...

Hmm, I suppose I could and use it to show Transfixing Gaze at times. Or if I end up using it as a generic herald the laser eye attack, that's if it can get it. Can't remember at the moment.

all good reasons^^

Hmm, probably make the glow sort of pink. If I get the skin darkish like Lukuh it should stand out and not sort of blend in like Illuni's sort of do.

I suppose if it ends up that tone, just make them purple. Blue is an option of course, but leaving it for sort of a last resort.

better stay in the pinkish hue...

Yeah, no need to try and fix something that already seems to work.

aye

For now though, pink needs work.


Looked over at the cloth a fair bit and the way it's bunched I think I may leave the runes off of it as I think it'll just ruin the shading in the end. Now, however, I'm looking to put them somewhere as a tattoo or something I guess. The claws perhaps. Also, I figure I can make them those glowing runes as well. Also noticed the left arm got some pink it shouldn't have. -.-

glowy tats? yes... nice idea!... and that left arm looks like a start in an OSL adventure already

I've got my eye on U! ... or should that be, i've not got my eye on nOt_u ... o.k now i'm confusing myself....... anyhow! looking good so far! you have a real knack for that soft drybrushing, makes it look very feminine and blended, i'll be keen to see what sort of difference there is between this one and your normal ones you do! I tell ya, it's exciting times in dakka land!
