Popular Post Pingo Posted April 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2019 I helped out at the Reaper Paint-and-Take at Adepticon last weekend. Reaper Ed suggested I try the new Bones Black since I hadn't yet, so Sunday morning I painted up a #44002 Rock Troll using the Paint-and-Take paints and brushes. I painted it over a four hour period while also tending to the tables. Most of the troll is mixed from the green and the purple that were at the table, lightened with the bone-cream color and shaded in a few places with pure black. I believe the colors were Turf Green, Twilight Purple, and Pure Black. I can't recall which cream-bone color it was. I also used the brown (Muddy Brown, I think it was), skin color (Tanned Flesh), and a few other colors on the creature's belt and accessories and highlighted its crystals with pure white (Pure White). This is way faster than I normally paint, but I think it came out usable. It's way cruder too, and I didn't deal with any mold lines before I started. As a painting note, Bones Black does not seem to have the water-repellent qualities as strongly as regular Bones. My first layer on this was thinned down and it took just fine. 41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's lovely the way those purples and greens mingle in the skin as well. Nice to know the Bones Black is less hydrophobic than the regular Bones. That property is really the only issue I have with regular Bones, so any improvement in that front will make me happy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
