I’m rather over the craft tube minis. I think I’ll keep some primed to use as test pieces, but…boring.
The starter kit only included one purple, an egregious oversight I have now rectified. Sadly, my Beholder seems to have encountered turbulence on the journey to me. As they arrived together, I am going to use this set and mix a cerulean or emerald for the eyeballs. I want to try wet blending the stalks from pink around the mucus membranes, darkening to Imperial Purple where they meet the body. For the body itself, I was thinking soft black with a purple highlight or maybe Imperial Purple with a dark tone wash… Now where did those craft tube dragons fly off too?
In the interim, I need to be more judicious with the dry brush. The skin ended up feeling too chalky, so I tried to punch it back up a little.
