Infantry Alguacil by Corvus Belli. Wip painted by Tyler Provick
Rather surprising considering that the new maps and weapons for Battlefield 3, the game that’s demolished my painting time, was released today. Despite this I managed to sit down at my painting table and bang out the lighter red portion of the armour. I’ve been reading the Massive Voodoo blog and wanted to try one of the techniques they discussed.
Tonight was my first time with the new technique and I really felt I understood what it was about and achieved good results quickly with it. It is essentially a combination of wet-blending and glazing. You build up a couple of layers of wetblending with semi-translucent paint, then refine any roughness with thin glazes of the same colours.
I plan to make a video of the technique once I have practiced it a little more. I need to buy some continuous lights for video before I do.
