I had last week of work and got a lot of things done, including playing Aeon Trespass and doing some painting.  I painted a load of marvel terrain (see my project.  I’ll add it there soon), my stairs, and The Tyrant for Kingdom Death.

I’ve never airbrushed with inks before and I thought I’d give it a go with him to see how it feels and see what results I can get.  It works quite well!  I gave him a zenithal preshade, putting far more care and thought in to that than usual.  He then got a few coats of VGC 72.086 Red Ink, until I was happy with the results, being careful not to remove the shadows accidentally.  I then added some P3 Yellow Ink to the mix to create a highlight colour and airbrushed this on carefully.  The results were very smooth natural transitions from light to dark.  10/10 would do again.

I’ve a few more bits of MCP terrain on my desk, and 4 more characters to build and paint, but then it’s back to KDM full time.  Unless new shinies catch my eye.  I’m trying to be good.  Honest!
