77367: Spell Effect: Shadow Tentacles (2) x5

[Jessie]

Huz wanted these painted up for an upcoming game night *shiver*. Hopefully not all of them will attack the party at once (Evard's Black Tentacles anyone?) Didn't see too many people actually paint these up standard, a lot of folks used paint to preserve the transparency. But in my head I pictured more of a cartoon-ish octopus tentacle None of them turned out as bright as I wanted, I'm still struggling with blending and getting something to be to the brightness I want. Anyways, thanks for reading!

Great stuff!

Very gribbly.  Great job!

[KruleBear]

Great colors. I like all the options you made.

They all look great in a very cartoonish way. Maybe a little wash for the 'insides' of the tentacles would have helped to accentuate the little "suckers" (I looked it up to make sure, thus no pun inteded).

Good job on the tentacles!! I like the colours. 
If you want them brighter I can only give you some advice.

Highlight reds with orange-red colour. 

Getting blending to have a high chroma involves mixing the right pigments together, this is hard with hobby paints (which are allready made of multiple pigments). A good article to read is : http://figurementors.com/the-science-of-oil-paints-with-kyle-kolbe ; even thought it speak about oil painting, it still works for acrylics. It also gives a nice introduction to buying artist grade paints. 

One of the major things found in the article (that is usefull for mixing bright colours) is: "All paint hues contain biases to a neighboring color hue, meaning that no paint can represent a pure “primary” color like red, blue, and yellow to mix all other colors". This means that mixing a blue-purple with a red-purple will result in a bright colour, while mixing blue-green with red-orange will result in a dull colour.

Those came out really good!  Great work!

The Creepy Thingies are BEAUTIFULLY painted & based. The variety of colors is GLORIOUS although picking out a favorite would be impossible, quite beyond me. MAGICAL CREATIONS, one & all!
