Special note. Hi all. I’m changing the WIP thread to monthly seeing that we are low traffic. Being that these threads are meant to encourage discussion and updates I’m going to see if leaving each thread up longer fosters more discussion.

This thread is here to encourage posting works in progress (WIP). Post your works, updates to previous posts, and questions!

This thread is meant to be in addition to posting WIPs as their own threads, so feel free to make stand alone posts if you wish.

    Yeah big red areas can be tough. I’ve taken to just spray painting red bodied vehicles these days. Works great if they are sprayed black first and then red from above. Gives shading in a nice gradient.

    I’d personally suggest some dry brushed orange highlights before you start picking out details. Orange on red really help it pop.

      The red is coming out alright so far; I kinda like the variation in colour. What orange would you recommend? I have wild rider red and fire dragon bright on hand.

      I’m mostly disappointed with the sepia over wraithbone. Just came out so uneven :(
