Absolutely glorious dude, loooove your work.

[@TheRedBrethren]

You know, I never imagined that that wash would unify everything and blend the colors as well as it did
I hope I can achieve the same result with my villainy inks washes

[@roegenhobby]

Yes! Finally someone with details on how to paint proper black armour. I would try your recipe.

[@TheRedBrethren]
