My worklight is super bright and I should probably improvise a diffuser over it because it's not quite as white as it looks in the pic. I might need to fiddle just a bit more before calling it done. And onto Saga!

Of course at that tiny scale you paint, they could also be the circus bugs from "A Bug's Life" climbing up a tree. ;-)<br /><br />Brown does work for pocks, but mostly for some for the base layers you drybrush the grey over later. Real rocks have a lot of brown in them (as you may well know), but don't forget the grey too.<br /><br />Actually the perfect brown-grey that I've found is the old GW Foundation paint Charadon Granite. If you ever find someone who has it, barrow it and take it down to the hardware store to have them match it. Magic color no joke. So basically, prime black, then CG, and then your layers of grey.<br /><br />Another nice touch for stone/mountains is do a green/brown/black wash 2/3 the way through your grey layers before the final few. The wash(es) give that nice natural mossy/mold green that you always find in stone walls and rocks.Jason Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510878862274931588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-39461912326274481342013-02-03T09:18:13.674-06:002013-02-03T09:18:13.674-06:00Ouaouh, that's another great work, Monty, real...Ouaouh, that's another great work, Monty, really impressive!
