I'm still a beginner, just really getting my act rolling, even though I have been painting for awhile. I stop and start enough that it feels like I'm stuck in "relearn" mode. <br /><br />Thank you again (and for Michael S/Chgowizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052820400496340137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050817124530397435.post-44540761024475376762011-01-13T19:57:01.191-05:002011-01-13T19:57:01.191-05:00@ PHF: sorry about the spelling...

Sorry to jump in; the little creeps ...@ChicagoWiz:<br /><br />Sorry to jump in; the little creeps are described as 'pallid', in 'mottled hues of green, grey, and black'. I opted for a flat white primer and washes of the three colors to give individual looks for each of the 60 miniatures. I'm thinking about going back and inking them with a very dilute black wash to punch up the details; we just ran out of time on chirine ba kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15089801259918671141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050817124530397435.post-62245663536667223952011-01-12T11:13:45.358-05:002011-01-12T11:13:45.358-05:00Ah, no shading/highlighting?
