I Spent an Entire Day Painting Tongues

A Day of Tongues

Spent the entire day painting squig tongues. Was watching White Star Minis and just started jamming out—almost forgot to record this.

The Highlight Process

Coming back in with straight Squid Pink—not really thinned down, just a touch of water. Adding that final highlight.

I could keep adding bright highlights, glazing over to blend, adding fine highlights, glazing again… but there’s got to be a point where we move on.

Progress Made

• Painted the little feet
• Painted the spots that will be black
• Started cutting in details

Next Steps

Going to base coat all the details off camera. Those chains are going to be terrible, and cutting in the goblins will be hard from a logistics angle with the camera.

Using Monolith Primer Black on the toes—going to paint everything black first. When I come back to paint actual colors, I’ll record again. Just want to cut in the black so it separates from the skin and all the red without messing up the work we’ve done.

Uh I did this one over here. Uh so I’m just coming back in now with the the straight squid pink. Not really thin down, just just a little touch of water. Uh and I’m going to hold the phone directly in front of my face so I can’t see what I’m doing. and coming in.

And we’re just adding that final highlight for now. And you know, I could I could just keep coming in and adding these very bright highlights and then glazing over it to blend it in and then adding the very fine highlights and glazing it. But there’s got to be a point where like we got to move on. Um, I painted the little fees, painted the spots that are going to be black. Uh, I started cutting in details.

Um, so I’ll probably I’ll base coat all the details off camera just because uh those chains are going to be terrible and cutting in those goblins. They’re going to be kind of hard. Um, just hard from a like logistics angle with having the camera uh record it. So, I’m just going to get the base coats in so I can get everything cut in nicely. And then when I actually come back in and paint highlights and and things like that, I’ll I’ll record it again.

Uh I just don’t I don’t want to mess up that skin with all the stuff that’s up against it. So, I’m just going to base that. Very straightforward. Uh I’m going to use I’m using the monolith primer black. That’s what I used on the toes.

Um chains and stuff. I’m probably going to go through and just paint everything black first and then when I actually come back in to paint the stuff like the color that it’s going to be, I’ll start recording that again. But I just want to cut in the black so it separates from the skin and all the red everywhere without messing up.
