A photo of the four miniatures of Lady Harrow's Mournflight from Warhammer Underworlds. They're spirits and modelled to look like they're very ephemeral and wispy and flowing. They're partially painted, the wispy bits are a sickly green colour with a smooth gradient into white at the edges and raised areas.

Thoroughly enjoying my new fancy drybrushes!

A photo of one of the old early 2000s Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine miniatures that's base-coated black but drybrushed in a gradient in blue-greys up to almost white in a lovely gradient.

I was having a bit of a struggle with my new drybrushes, you can't tell too much from my previous photos of Lady Harrow's Mournflight, but I couldn't get the drybrushing to come out properly all the time, it kept globbing and looking like crap. I decided to carefully watch Artis Opus' tutorial video and do some experimenting and, counterintuitively, it turns out I was actually taking TOO MUCH paint off the brush! Because the new brushes are so big and thick and soft compared to what I'm used to using (an EXTREMELY ratty old Games Workshop drybrush), you actually need to leave more paint on the brush and just really gently flick the end of the brush across the surface. Check out this gorgeous gradient I did tonight, I think I've got the hang of it now!
