That's the only explanation for thinking along the same lines.<br /><br />As for the orange fur, I've used a range of colours for the base fur (an orange, an orangy-brown, a muted orange). They were all given a brown wash, drybrushed with the base colour, then successive drybrushed highlights by adding a cream colour. Finally they all got a sepia wash to enrich the colour.axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-59048231836396553432022-09-26T18:14:26.482+01:002022-09-26T18:14:26.482+01:00I just pulled out a bunch of space apes to paint u...I just pulled out a bunch of space apes to paint up a crew! I guess great minds do think alike. Mine won't be Jokaero, but funny how these things happen. Love the colors you got on yours. I've tried painting orange fur on a dunger but it didn't come out quite right. Any tips? <br /><br />Interested to see how you like 5P. I picked that up recently, just haven't gotten to it yet.

It will be fun to get those on the table for some narrative games.cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-65139474921149385632022-09-26T15:58:56.923+01:002022-09-26T15:58:56.923+01:00I'm not going to able to lose that image now!!...I'm not going to able to lose that image now!! 🎼 I wanna be like you 🎼axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-1146085317447647312022-09-26T15:41:32.986+01:002022-09-26T15:41:32.986+01:00I can just hear King Louie's song from the Jun...I can just hear King Louie's song from the Jungle Book playing over that last group picture :D Great stuff!Jimmy Carminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796058001518892210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-19052593101351068422022-09-26T15:30:18.634+01:002022-09-26T15:30:18.634+01:00They're such a niche oddity from RT aren't...They're such a niche oddity from RT aren't they?
