Nihil Spellbomb - Bomberman

Ok, first non-land alter, hopefully I don't have to go out and get another one :-/



Done for the night.
His right foot (the shorter one) looks a little smudgy because the paint was drying fast as I was applying it, adding water didn't help too much, so I'm probably going to scrape it off and try and mix that shade again.

Lesson learned: Cannot scrape paint off after a day of drying :(
Oh well, on we go:



Only thing left is fuse and face!

CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE BOMBERMAN IS COOKIN'?


New things learned:


  • Permanent Marker applied directly to the card's surface will smudge when matte finish is applied, as you can see in the bottom right, which used to be my 'signature'.
  • Also, when paint even thinks about starting to dry up, add more paint/water! His right foot still kinda looks clumpy, but that's from me not wanting to color-match to fix it :(
  • Buy smaller brushes! I was told 2/0 round was good enough, but I've got a 5/0 round that I've been using and even that's too thick sometimes!
  • Higher-quality paint is thicker and dries faster than low-quality paint. This is neither good nor bad, but seeing as his peach-colored face was done using lower-quality paints, they're not all that bad.
Into the sideboard with you!
