Paint-tech 34 - Clay Tentacles & Toilet Paper Water Effects

[@chasetaylor0000]

Those look awesome!!

[@AndersQvist]

Very clear and methodic tutorial, thanks for sharing!

[@Firebirddna]

Get Kraken! I see what you did there. Looks great.

Man I like how you use the back of the brush to take out the pot. I only have a citadel paints. And I do most of my painting at night. I’ve pooched a few brushes now dipping the furrow right into the paint, good idea !!!

[@HeroesBosses]

Yeah, I used to have a brush that was ONLY used for getting out paint, but this way is easier :) You just have to be careful not to tear the paper on your wet palette.

[@L3GHO5T]

@@HeroesBosses haha man after I seen this and I tried it out I did that with my first paint i put out hahaha

[@monsterboycrafts2265]

Good looking stuff, especially like the easy water effect.

[@HeroesBosses]

Hey there! I was just watching one of your videos :)

[@monsterboycrafts2265]

@@HeroesBosses lol small world, right? Glad we bumped into each other on Imgur, looking forward to going through some of your stuff! 😁

[@HeroesBosses]

Excellent sir

[@rottenreason35]

Really cool! They look great. Really like the TP paper mache for the waves.

[@HeroesBosses]

Thank you :) It worked so well I'll probably use it for future water bases.

[@ryanodoherty4090]

Excellent work as always 👍

[@HeroesBosses]

Thanks Ryan!

Love the tentacles! Cephalopods are a natural for polymer clay sculpture. I'm a bit worried about your Corax model paint as a primer, though. Polymer clay is a bit finicky about what your can prime it with. The safest way to go is artist's acrylic gesso, but one can always test. It seems the clay has binders in it that can react with some finish components.

[@HeroesBosses]

Interesting - I'll keep that in mind for my next project. So far so good though - nothing weird is happening with the paint. Though I won't use 'Ardcoat gloss varnish again. It's still super sticky to the touch. Better off with a spray on gloss.

One of H&B's players here! He wasn't kidding about getting these done fast. Awesome results, though. When the tentacles came from behind his DM screen, there was a collective gasp from every player at the table. It ended up being the most epic fight we've had with these characters!

[@andycaygeon]

That damned Kraken nearly ate one of the players, too.

[@HeroesBosses]

He's still out there, and he's pissed.

[@jalliebush2514]

I made one too

[@CroneLife1]

"Get crackin'"? I wonder who made you say that. :D

[@darkstorminc]

Back when I still played fantasy rpgs we didn't need no stinkin minis! Looks cool though lol

[@HeroesBosses]

You get to drink from the FIRE HOSE!
