    Thank you! Not sure if I can add anything to the painting guides out there, so many better painters around. But I am happy to help with any color receipts, if anyone is interested in any color-mixture.

    To get this thread going again, let me post my Valkyrie. Hardest attack in the game, unmovable like a rock and coolest sunglasses around :sunglasses: Paintingwise I tried Gold NMM here, but I think I need to go even darker in the brown. Happy for any hints and tricks here!

    @Croepoek That is a real nice shade of purple-pink on Valkyrie. Any chance to expound on which paints where used in it's creation?

    @Croepoek thanks for this. Looks like I should get/find Lipstick since that seems to be used the most & I have Ivory & White.

    It is called „PaintMyMinis“ and I think only available for iOS.

    Thanks for the info.
    Do you think the app is worth joining the digital painting thread ?
    If so, please share some extra info there so I can update the main post.

    Yeah I think so, I find it super helpful for keeping track of color mixes. Let me do a short write up in the coming days :slightly_smiling_face:

    Thanks a lot.
    Don't spend too much time on it. As you may have already noticed, I keep the content pretty simple like a Pros/Cons and features list, but if you feel like doing a full review, it is also welcome.

    "Crush, crush, crush! Crush those tiny pillars!" is probably what Hammerhead is thinking :grinning:

    Painted him in darker colors on the armor to get a better contrast for the glowing eyes and green cables. What do you think?

    Happy to hear some C&C :hugging_face:

    Dark scheme works great. I would add some touchups or more pure white to the center/reflections of the OSL (but it would be the picture not showing the full range of contrast on the mini).

    BTW, great work!

    Finally found the courage to paint 8 Ball’s alternative skin. Did a lot of testing techniques on this one to improve my painting going forward. The kraken is watching all of you!

    Thanks, appreciated! I invested some time in theory and practicing some skills and techniques. But also found that a good quality of cast and material really makes a difference for me. Way easier for me to get good results.
