My Dark Eldar Coven is like that, with blood washed over the skin to make it look bloody, whipped, scarred, and such.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828611087166469409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974760903053931881.post-69418013508926284512013-08-19T23:22:39.131+02:002013-08-19T23:22:39.131+02:00Very true, the style has a lot to do with what'...Very true, the style has a lot to do with what's to be painted. I have some IG in my table that I'm painting with brush, nothing fancy, even when the airbrush is my go-to tool these days. I like the way you de scribe your style, sounds pretty good!Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487187149055065307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974760903053931881.post-20526665634652600952013-08-19T22:18:51.472+02:002013-08-19T22:18:51.472+02:00Interesting thought.

For example, I picked up an airbrush a while back, but it doesn't really perform well for the scheme I'm going for on my tyranids, which is more feathering and line highlighting. I could see using it a lot though once I break into my Eldar though. <br /><br />Overall, I'd say my approach is "realistic" but not "gritty." By that I mean I tend to go for smooth blends, to the point where they become almost unnoticeable. As such, I've been pushing myself to make my highlights a little more "cartoonish" or comic-book like since I think it makes it more striking for the same or less effort. <br /><br />All that said, I agree that I don't exactly have a set style as I am regularly pushing myself to try new techniques and methods.
