Great work on the King and Death Priest!

I love old metal skaven, but all the nooks and crannies in the torn fabric makes it like painting an English muffin. Gotta thin your paint for those guys, I suppose!
I have a YouTube and so can you!

Nah, oil's gonna cover it pretty well :)

Interesting! I haven't used oil paints since I was a kid- didn't realize they flow or coat those tiny gaps better than water-based acrylics. Cheers!

I use several techniques, but the fastest one starts with an oil wash (white spirit is better for this than tupertine), this covers the recesses, the further layers are drier, those do not get into the deep parts, they remain the colour of the first layer.
