Title: Here Fishy Fishy
Post by: antimatter on September 21, 2014, 03:23:52 AM
Hi all,

Just finished painting the "Dire Fish-Lizard" for DeepWars, to be shown in a step-by-step tutorial in a painting guide. I sculpted this a while back and it was good to finally be able to paint it properly. This one was almost entirely done with ink washes and glazes.

Lovely paint job.

Have you considered kelp for a "flying stand"?

I suspect it could look quite sinister emerging from/through a strand of seaweed.

Here are some pics showing steps. The basic theme is careful application of washes and glazes.

Are you using the Liquitex inks for the spines & teeth, or adding in some paint as well for those details?
Title: Re: Here Fishy Fishy
Post by: antimatter on September 22, 2014, 05:46:07 PM
The final highlights, as well as teeth and spines, are done with opaque paint. Liquitex does make white ink actually, but it is a little translucent. I use basic Americana brand white, or Reaper MSP Golden Highlight for most highlights, mixed with some inks here and there.
Title: Re: Here Fishy Fishy
Post by: Mr. Peabody on September 22, 2014, 05:50:09 PM
Thanks.

I love the Liquitex inks... Also the FW range from Daler Rowney. A little goes a long way and they are always fun to play with. Your step-by-step is a great demonstration of their potential.

Very fishy indeed well done it smacks of the sea, me hearty.

Post by: antimatter on September 22, 2014, 06:03:53 PM
There is also some paint involved a bit with the yellow and deep reds. This was Golden brand Fluid Acrylics, an slightly heavier fluid paint like the ink. It works about the same though.
