The DKOK guys are done. Pretty happy how they turned out although they came out a little shiny. It's works pretty well with the mud and all though. I will throw a gallery pic up pretty soon. You can see how my splash of red worked out. I think it adds a lot too these guys.
In other news I taught my first painting workshop!!! And it wasn't a total disaster
Only 2 guys showed up, and one of the guys was the shop owner although another dude wandered in for a little while.
It was pretty fun hanging out and getting to hear myself talk and everyone was really excited for the next one in a month. The most surprising thing to me was that I actually had some stuff to show them. We spent a good hour talking about spray can primers and using them for zenithal priming, then I showed them how to use (somewhat controlled) washes to lay down color over an entire figure. Sort of an advanced dipping technique The guys were pretty excited to see a mini get shaded so fast and one guy was able to complete a half-way decent table top paint job during the class. Pretty cool!

First time using Realistic Water and I was a little disappointed by how much it shrank as it dried. Still looks very wet, but I was hoping for a little more depth and translucence. Those f'king resin barrels are impossible to get perfectly straight.

Good job on the DKoK, I really like the muddy bases. And great to hear about the class as well, if it went as well as it sounds I'm sure the next one will be packed

Thanks guys! I might hit the DKOK guys with some matte varnish, but my photo set-up tends to be make to make accentuate the glare.
Speaking of shiny, here is a little project I have also been working on a little over the last couple of weeks. It's inks and smoke blended with metallics. Trying to draw some inspiration from Skelletets.
I really like what I have so far but I am not sure what my next step is going to be. I am thinking about dabbing on some pale green with a sponge. Maybe some more blue? Red paint chips? all of they above? Any thoughts? The foto is a little washed out.

Nice job on the Death Korps guys. I love the style of the sculpts and I think your painting has complemented them very well!
Congrats on running a painting workshop. It might have been small, but I'm sure the ones who were there will spread the word and more will come next time. Sounds pretty successful to me!

It's going!
Dude was stoked on the first batch. I found some help assembling the infantry (yay!) and he sent me a bunch of random other (40k) stuff that is keeping it interesting. Here is the first batch:
