This model expanded my Sharpie experiment - just like Sir Conlan, I decided to use the Sharpie Creative Markers with the paint brush tip. It's an interesting pack / marketing decision made by the Sharpie folks. The nub tips actually have the same 12 and then another 12 more colors in what I think they call earthen colors. However the paint brush tip has only the primary colors with the exception of green. Picking up the pack of Sharpie's gets you 12 colors to play with...
1. Blue
2. Purple
3. Pink
4. Red
5. Orange
6. Yellow
7. Black
8. Grey
9. White
and then I left the greens for the end - instead of primary green you get...
10. Blue-Green
11. Cool Green
12. Yellow Green
A minor pain from my perspective is that Sharpie doesn't actually name the colors - however, they do have a nice cap system with the color but if they ever do expand the line, it would be nice to have color names.
This model had been sitting on the bench for quite awhile - I originally had it painted a goblin green body with medium brown wings - the paint was airbrushed on with extra paint remaining in the pot from other painting projects. It wasn't really doing much for me and this Sharpie set has a bunch of greens so I figured this was the perfect experiment.
The three greens were used as follows... blue-green on the body and the wing structures - cool-green on the wing membranes - yellow-green to pick out the details around the body and the belly. Mentioned previously but it's easy to see, the paint is very opaque which was great to cover the airbrushed paint. However, sometimes it would be nice if just a bit of bleed/transparency was there to blend - the AK's are similarly very opaque.
A bit of Google Gemini magic and we have a Eldritch Demon for a VTT session...
Finally we do get to deduct another model from the Kickstarter Bones pile...
Kickstarter paint total 230 + 1 Eldritch Demon = 231
