I decided not to overdo it and keep it a simple, single bright color because the way I made tentacles I figured less is more and a plain paintjob would complement the plain sculpt. Generally I agree with queen_annes_revenge, trying for a simple dark to like transition is not a bad idea.

Previously I got my pink tentacles by throwing black and red wash on a white base. It's messy, but has more texture:



This might be a valid approach depending on which colors you use and whether you're careful with the application of the wash (unlike me ).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/776397/10469492.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/776397/10469492.page GMT How to paint vines / tentacles?
I would get the 'colour blend' look by painting them white and then dragging a paintbrush loaded with a heavily-watered down paint/wash along their length. The colour will be most saturated where you start and least saturated where you finish. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/776397/10469510.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/776397/10469510.page GMT Re:How to paint vines / tentacles?

Oh, I like that idea. It makes them look slimier

Those pictures are really helpful, they give me a much better idea of what I am doing. Thank you!

I think most of the tentacles are too long for the 'lazy' method but that sounds like a useful technique ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/776397/10469553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/776397/10469553.page GMT
