Capuchin's WIP and Finished second Demonette

Hey everyone!

I hope you didn't fell asleep in the time roman powers himself through the two workshops! I hope the mighty monkey gods give him the power and bananas he needs!

Meanwhile i finished the demonette from the first workshop:


Today was a nice day so i decided to start with my Carlos Conversion :)

There will drip some green slimy goo from the gun and like in aliens it will burn a whole through the ground ;)
Finally my blendings slowly get better.... i think today i made a big step forward .. at least i think so haha :D
I've bought some stuff today that's called "Fluid Medium" by Lukas for acrylic paints... i really love to paint with this stuff, i have less problems with my blendings, try the stuff out if you have the chance!

And finally i made some green and yellow glazes on the rotting grinning guy from mati :)

Still some work to do, i have to add more highlights and maybe i'll add more detail to the pupil, somehow i'm not quite pleased with it.

I'm really happy, tommorow i'll paint the whole day and monday is the big monkey reunion painting day, YEAH! Finally something going on!
And i got some ideas for my next projects... stay tuned!

Cheers,
Raffa

  4. Hi Raffa, Can you please elaborate on the usage of the fluid medium? Is this a slow dry medium that helps with wet-in-wet blending?

  5. Hey Thomas,
    it helps to bring a more even transparency to the acrylics and helps to even out the color.
    It also helps the color to "flow" better from the brush...

    It's a little hard to describe but i like the effekt very much even if it gives a little satin-matte finish (you can use matte acrylic finish at the end)

    Cheers,
    Raffa

  7. Hey Alexander,

    it's a converted Carlos from Kraken/Artefactory.

    I used a heavy Flamer from a Sentinel, the rest is also from my 40k bitzbox.

    cheers,
    Raffa

  8. Hey Raffa,

    could you provide a link to the Lukas-medium, as I found several products and am not quite sure which one matches the one you used ;).

  9. Hey Raffa!

    Great to see the finished Daemonette. She looks pretty nice, especially the Gem and stone in her hand.

    As far as I can see the Carlos looks nice. The skin looks really well blended. Perhaps u could loose one or two more words about the Lukas Stuff...*cough* Tutorial*cough*

    The bust is much better now, u read my critique on Maxpaint.

    PS.: My Workshop Mini is finished but my girlfriend just brought an empty camera to me...Girls...*grr*.

  11. Hey,

    sorry sorry sorry guys...

    the fluid medium isn't from Lukas, it's from Schmincke ;)

    "Schmincke Acryl Fluid-Medium" satin matte (there's also a gloss medium).

    Cheers,
    Raffa
