I have a bit of work to do at home this evening but I'll definitely watch Azimuth play and chime in a bit! I probably won't be playing myself, though. I will enjoy tuning in to watch you all ☺️

One of my favs of myself and my bf Azimuth :D

Friday could be Fan Art Friday? Where if we're working on any Halo-related art, it could be posted perhaps.

Yes! I love this idea :love:

And here's the final product! Like I said, it takes a pretty long time hitting every edge but if you play music or watch a movie in the background, you'll be surprised how the time flies! BEFORE: And AFTER! And here's another piece I completed and some detail shots: So yeah! You can...

Okay! Now that step is done and the black paint is dry, over top I like to add very subtle hints of silver to show the raw metal exposed as if paint was worn away. I used the silver metallic paint pen for this step. You definitely don't want any solid silver lines, but more broken up dots...

So the armor I was commissioned to weather is actually Doom Slayer armor he built. There were a heck of a lot more pieces to it than normal Spartan armor, so I marathoned painting this over 3-4 days. First, start off dabbing black paint on ALL the raised edges of the armor. Naturally speaking...

Okay here's how I try to achieve the effect. Firstly, here are my materials I use: EITHER: Silver metallic acrylic paint, Oil-based Terstors paint, or an acrylic paint pen. Whatever you use, try to stay consistent so all the paint matches. The silver acrylic paint is probably my least favorite...

I've gotten a few comments on my weathering and how I do it so I decided to make a small tutorial! First, some examples of my work!

This is an AWESOME tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm gonna have to try it myself one of these days!

Yes that's not a bad idea at all! My weathering is pretty extreme, but the next time I have a piece ready to paint, I'll take a bunch of photos and note my process!

Aww you're too kind! I'd like to get cleaner, honestly. My chest is pretty rough because it's my first build, but I'm always getting better with practice!

We sure do! I admit I sorta use you as my guinea pig for a lot of the new armor so I can follow along with you lol. You're the master builder and I'm mainly good at painting :whistle:

Oh nice! Perfect because I definitely sweat in the armor so washing is a definite must :lol:

Dude that's an awesome idea!! I don't have much in the way of my undersuit either. I just use yoga pants and a sweat-wicking long sleeve shirt so it would be really cool to get a more defined undersuit! That will be next on my list for sure. Can you make airbrush paint on an undersuit washable?
