Black Ork

Un fallido intento de probar el uso de pigmentos. Y eso que hasta entonces estaba llendo todo bien.

La idea era probar los productos de Secret Weapon que compré en verano, y las pinturas metálicas al alcohol de Vallejo. Todo estaba llendo bien, aunque el Liquid Silver de Vallejo deja un resultado tan liso que las tintas de Secret Weapon no agarraban bien, un problema que no era de la tinta, porque en la piel del orco funcionó como era de esperar.

El problema fue con los pigmentos, nunca los había utilizado y los probé de varias formas: mezclados con alcohol, mezclados con agua y en seco. Desde luego fue instructivo, porque no funcionan igual todos los pigmentos, ni tampoco funcionan como pintura normal, pero nada pudo evitar que acabase dejando la armadura como si hubiera salido de un chatarrero, cuando solo quería darle un poco de óxido.

A failed attempt in the use of pigments. And it was going all well until that step.

The idea was trying the Secret Weapon products I had bought during the summer, and Vallejo's alcohol basis paints. All was going well, even though Vallejo's Liquid Silver leaves such a smooth result that Secret Weapon inks didn't grab, a problem which was not of the inks, as they did work as intended on the orc's skin.

The problem was with the pigments, I had never used them and tried several ways: mixin with acohol, mixing with water and dry. Undoubtly it was instructive, because not all the pigments work the same way, nor they work like normal paints, but nothing could stop the armor from ending like it was taken from the junkyard, when I just wanted to add a bit of oxid to it.
