I'm trying something new. I know, shocking. I wanted to try out the painting styles of one James Wappel. This doesn't mean my end product will look anywhere near the awesomeness of his, ut just means I want to try out his "shaded basecoat" technique. I know I'm going to mess this up royally so I thought a Nurgle team would be the best to try it on. I saw some of the technique on YouTube and tried stuff from there.
I used a big brush (size 6), held it near the end, and multiple colors to wet blend tonal changes into the pieces. I did two pestigors and the beast that the team already had with it, in this method.
I used VMC Black/Brown, VMC Flat Brown, VMC G.U. Khaki, and VMC Off-white. Then to spice it up a little I used VMC Deep Blue, VMC G.U. Green, or VMC Desert Yellow to add a tint.
I painted the darkest colors into what would be shaded areas, mid tones in the middle, and the lighter colors on areas I thought would catch more light. The beast figure is the one I did last and the one that started the best.
I'm not quite sure what to do next but I'll see what I learn and how it turns out. I'll post steps right or wrong that I do to the finish, I wont learn if I don't try.
