What uses have you found for 09426 Charred Brown? Also, questions about rubber.

[greyzombiesarebetter]

I made the mistake of ordering a duplicate of 09426 Charred Brown and am struggling to find a general use for it. I applied a very thin glaze over grey I had underpainted with scratches and scuffs over grey and after two coats it did create a somewhat interesting washed out look. But it's a little too dead for leather overall. I think I could mix it in with Scale 75 inks for interesting dark wood, and maybe with purple and blues for dark desaturated shadows, but these are pretty specialized.

 

What have you found it works well for?

I've also got an extra bottle of 09458 Kobold Scale and 09483 Twilight Purple, but I think I can use those up quite readily for various things.

 

Also, with the unfortunate demise of Secret Weapon, what Reaper paints would be the best replacements for their rubber colors? They had a reputation for being great for that dead grey cool blue that rubber often reads as. I unfortunately never got a chance to pick up a bottle.

 

Thank you!

Darkest shadow for Wood.

Base for Dark Skin. ( really there are many different dark skintones)

Darkest Shadow for Fur.

It looks like a pretty good colour for a dark skin tone, particularly if you don't already have Ebony Flesh. It's a little bit lighter in value than Ebony Flesh, but that's easy to adjust if you need to.

the new 29120 Grimm Grey seems to me a good color for rubber for me by just doing a swatch label for my bottle.

Maybe try using it instead of black on "natural" figures? I've stopped using black and am using a dark grey instead for non-natural SF painting.
