Anti-Glitter Campaign

Why is it that silver paints look nice and smooth but gold paint looks like gold glitter in a suspension?

It's not like I haven't tried various brands and types of metallic gold paint. I just consistently find that silver, brass, copper paints have a smooth paint-like appearance while gold paints look like.. glitter glue. This is actually one of the better golds. Most look like:

Yes, they are both Vallejo paints but I also have GreenStuff and Citadel Colour that are also glitter glue while their other metallic paints, aside from red which also seems to be problematic, are fantastic.

Incidentally, my paint swatch on the bottles idea is still one of my favorites. It gives me an idea of both dried color and texture without having to look. When you have a paint obsession like I do and have several hundred bottles, my brain lacks the capacity to remember every color's consistency and how much thinner I need to use to make it functional.

I have found the most cruel colour Citadel sells; Dreadful Visage.

Look at her! She is gorgeous. She is a shy purple, not to warm, not too cold.

She is the shade of seductive dishwater.

Unfortunately, dishwater packs more of a punch 😩 Even regular water is more opaque than her.

But with her as my muse I set out to recreate what I wanted her to look like.

So out I bring the most trusted of shades, the underrated Druchii Violet, and the overrated Nuln Oil. Together they have a perfect rating.

But I want it to be a contrast, and less punchy.

A menage a troi it is:

Now for the real question, did I succed? Well I think so, this is my creation in action over stark white basecoat:

finished the other shapeshifter! i was gonna do him similar blues but thought it'd be more fun to do a red as a contrast to his friend there instead. watered down some gold and washed over his wings so they have a lovely glittery look to them irl :)

havin a blast painting these (i already have two more coming in oh no)

My biggest problem with Citadel Contrast and Shade paints: I repeatedly knock them over because I am lazy. I have come up with a possible solution that seems to be working so far although I haven't had much time to actually put it into practice: Museum Wax.

One little ball of museum wax stuck to your work surface, press the pot over it and "Ta da!" So simple. It's the same substance I use to stick my miniatures to the wooden cubes I use for painting. It does leave some residue which is easy to take off or just leave for next time in case I don't stick it to the blob.

Guess who stayed up playing the new System Shock remake all weekend, of which I was a Kickstarter backer from the very beginning (2015), been waiting years and years for, and barely ate or slept?

Best game remake ever??

[eyelessfog]

this gave the funniest mental image and also i havent made humanizations of objects in forever

I think Gem's base and Tango's base should go on a date and maybe hold hands
