JoeGKushner Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 With silver colors, blue and black are good inking colors. What's good for Gold? Yellow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pae Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 brown. Specifically, Vallejo Smoke. Then again, I use Smoke for just about everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizard Hlavaz Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Yeah, you smoke too much, Phil. Or is that drink too much... I forget now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pae Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Maybe I drink Smoke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaperShaun Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 browns are good. I agree with that. You can also venture into the world of orange and yellow for some different effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I recall someone saying to look on a color wheel & the color opposite yellow is the color to use for shading, but I'm not 100% sure on that one. I usually go with brown or smoke (like Flynn) when I do yellows & or golds RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japenny_902 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I have been trying other colors and a very thin wash of purple over a regular brown shading wash gives a nice tone to gold paint. Also a chesnut color can work really well, depending on what the gold is surrouned by (the other colors on the mini) Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHorde Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 If you want a ruddy, brassy gold you might try GW Chestnut Ink, or a wash/glaze of RMS Chestnut Brown paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Przemas Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 personally i use browns (no news here ;) , mostly chestnut) and purples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGKushner Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 I've used chestnut to fairly good effect but the metal comes out a little... bight? Yellow and orange aren't bad and I have a 'special' mix I sometimes use but it's a little too orange and too bright requiring almost another complete cover up of the inking. Brown though eh? And I do have smoke. I'll have to give those a try next time I'm working on some dwarves I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brushforhire Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I use GW flesh wash slightly watered down. Seems to give a really good shading for gold for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
