Hellboy (an old Spring Clean Challenge)
Frog spawns & bats
Taking the opportunity to play with the mediums I decided to try a few out with Badger airbrush inks and another set with citadel paint.
In conclusion both methods worked but the airbrush inks give a cleaner more effective result. The citadel paint needed a drop of flow improver to counter the extra medium with in the citadel pots. For the final frog spawns I decided to under glaze a mix of yellow, citadel green and pure white areas to provide more variation and interest for those that get curious and take a closer look.
The bats were a simpler affair. With a bit of black to reinforce the shadows I did a dark grey drybrush followed by a lighter grey highlight dry brush then glazed in some golden brown for a touch of realism then Strong Tone to tie it all in.
