The crows finally saw some action again. Hopefully bringing in the metallic contrast has broken through my ennui. With any luck I can close out the flock this week, but should probably start with a matte varnish. Maybe after the 2TC Black Oblivion Wash. Not sure how I feel about it yet – it feels too opaque and a little cloudy. It may turn out awesome, but at the moment I wish I’d dug out the Vallejo.
Huh. I stand corrected. Heavy handed as I was, it didn’t cake and it knocked down the insane gloss sheen AP Speed Paints leave behind. I still need to reestablish the midtones and highlight, but I can skip the matte varnish.
