Hi, just for Info and maybe it's interesting for some people. I'm still trying to figure out how to paint a good yellow. So I gave the new speedpaint's a shot. So I primed some skinks: From left to right Just Matt withe Just demonic yellow Just nerotic flesh Army green/ zenithal necrotic flesh Demonic yellow/ zenithal necrotic flesh Demonic yellow/ zenithal Matt withe Next step: cover them with I let you know the results
First result same order Detail primer withe and yellow I think withe is brighter. But the difference is little Detail withe and necrotic flesh You see the difference. Personally I like the withe base better Detail of the zenithal primed Not much to see from the different colors. But I really dislike the left one. Regarding the speedcolor use and the aim of it (making shades and highlight at the same time). Use is easy, first you might think it's a red wash. It takes less paint than I expected per model (two drops for a skink is enough). I had to remove some paint after painting, it was pooling. It goes easily from the brush. It takes longer to dry. About the dry time of a wash. Regarding the aim. Shades yes. For this color I can say the look like red wash were put on the model. Highlights... I don't see them. Timewise, SPEEDpaint!, yes it was faster, because I didn't have to wait for the base coat to be dry to slap on the wash. I will give all of them a second layer of the the same color. We will see what happens. Right now ... I'm not convinced to spend more money on speedpaint. I like the common way better. P.s. sorry for the tipping errors, its late and it was a long day Edit: All Right second look an the zenithal primed. At the army green primed there is a difference between upper and under. And on the yellow with narcotic flesh you can see a slight difference Edit 2: Left red wash/ right yellow speedpaint. Above is a dry spot of speedpaint
I like the GW contrast paints, I think that I will probably start going to the Army painter Speed paints because these look amazing!
I have never worked with contrast paint. The price was always a no go. So I can't tell if they are better or not. Next test will be: first blacklining than put on the speed paint. Base will be a withe primed mini We'll see what's happening Btw. Source for comic style painting: https://youtube.com/c/Epicduck
Result: although the ink was dry, the ink gets washed away by the speedpaint. I'm not sure if I like the result.
You could try a layer of varnish after the ink but before the speedpaint and see if that helps. A bit time consuming though.
I doubt that would work. There have been reports that speed paints are made with a resin medium base. I think what's happening here is that the ink and the speed paint mediums are interacting and causing runny paint. The whole liquid resin as a medium is why I have shied away from these paints completely.
