What are you working on today?

[ampersand]

Have you taken a look at [url]wappellious.blogspot.de[/url]?
Three of his last four posts deal with his Shaded Basecoat technique, where he lays down basecoats rapidly and haphazardly, highlights them up with drybrushing and wetbrushing and then glazes and washes in the darker areas, cleaning up midtones and highlights afterwards.
Reading your description, James Wappel's technique was the first that sprang to mind and the technique would be the basis of what I would use on a chaotically colorful model like your troll there.

i thought you thought blogspots were crap? haha.

Yeh im a follower of his blog already. maybe ill send him a message and ask what he recommends.

Incredible! But so far nobody has pointed out the extra arm with the claw. Just like the dwarf with 6 fingers!

Serriously though. Incredible vision, to take the river troll (which already is an amazing model) and do this! Then to be able to actually pull it off? I am humbled.

damn how did i not notice that? haha
ill hold my hands up, all i did was take a description the gotrek and felix short story in Trollslayer and work from there. plenty of analysis and discovery on my blog about how i got the this point.

thanks for the nice comments guys. but this one is definitely going on the backburner for the time being...time to do some skaven for a bit

No, I just find it hard to follow (and find in the first place, for that matter) everything I think is interesting.

Amp certainly has some talent, even though he wont admit it.

Working on riding a unicycle. It's so much fun you just want to start giggling while ridding it, at least I do

Unicycling is fun. It moves your private parts as they've never been moved before.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi yourself. So...

Sarcasm: My wife's now got competition from the uni as far as busting my balls is concerned... /Sarcasm I really don't want to know what kind of 'fun' you're into KK. It's fun but I'm still way too wobbly and unskilled to really enjoy it without worrying I'll fall off if I don't concentrate.

I just put the unicycle between my thighs, lay down on the bed, and start wobbling and wagging around.

Good luck! With blades, you really cant beat a surgical scalpel handle. With number 11 blade. No Faff, no wobbly blade

I already have one of those but I've never quite figured out how to get the blade all the way on with out nearly stabbing myself or slicing my finger open. The one in the set is easy enough to load but depending on what your cutting, the blade will end up stuck in the object. The holder won't tighten up anymore.

What green stuff is on that troll? I used some for the first time the otherday.
