Through some creative backtracking, I arrive at the Arthouse studio. This arty chap is from Hungry Troll Miniatures, and has his handy pot of chequered paint. I painted him to match my 2014 goblins, which was harder than it should have been. As a new technique for this location, I tried a wet palette for the first time. It's a bit too early to judge, but it did make the paints last longer in the blazing antipodean summer.

I have both my security passes now, and am ready for the Snowlord's Challenge!
So THAT's how you paint chequered patterns. I always wondered. I haven't tried a wet palette myself, but I have heard good things about them.
Lovely work on this gobbo and a suitable entry for the Arthouse. I hope the Snowlord is merciful when it comes to setting your Director's Chair Challenge.
That is a cool looking goblin, Barks. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Frederick!

ReplyDeleteAnd different sizes!
DeleteGreat gobbo. Excellent work here.

DeleteChequered paint… there might be a market for that! A very cool goblin, Barks! (Also I’m quite gobsmacked by the speed with which you have raced through all those studios!)
ReplyDeleteI have quite a collection to draw on for the themes...
