Inks are notorious for coming off like on your nighthaunt. You need to use the ink and then cover with a varnish. This keeps the ink in place and gives you the base to work over it. Try mixing the green ink with a touch of the yellow to highlight the ork skin.👍
Yeah idk I’ve heard mixed things about the ink through the airbrush! It’s just trial and error for me atm as I love the colour!! And I was playing around back and forth with the colours for the ork skin but couldn’t see to quite get it. Better luck next time! Haha. Thanks for the advice none the less
@@johnosminis using inks for priming and adding accents is a great method. They work especially well i found when added to a colour to increase the vibrancy or pop. A bit like florescent paints do. Keep trying different methods and find what works for you.always the best way!👍😎 look forward to hearing how you fair out.
I had the same reactivation problem, where white liquitex ink would reactivate even the primer (AK interactive black). From my experiments the problem lies when thinning the Inks with acrylic thinner, this would cause the Inks to reactivate previous layers, when airbrushing the Inks without any thinner (not even water) and allowing the previous layer to fully dry I did not get the reactivation problem. For reference I was using hataka acrylic thinner, which smells like alcohol and soap. Later I tried thinning the Inks with a little bit of water and waiting more than you would with normal paints and had no problem.
im planning on sticking to CYMK, and white (and grey because im lazy) inks from liquitex so i have a very stable and standard place to start from to mix colors. theres a great video by "The state of play" that covers how to get virtually any color ink you want by using a very repeatable process. it was posted about 4 months ago this could help your issue with ork skin using the color chart he gives.
I was able to get the White Ink finally from my local store after it being always sold out. It's great to add to something like Corax White when thinning it down 😁
Finally! 😀 and yeah I bet that must be great! I find using the white ink as a base and then painting over the top with paint or inks gives such a bright colour! Always another option :)
I’m glad you think so! I am focusing on spending a lot more time on editing now, with each video I feel like I learn something new. And I always try to work upon my old mistakes!
My guess as to why that happened on the wing is that you didn't give the previous layer of ink time to cure all the way. Inks are super delicate and will come right off if they don't have proper drying times. Don't know how long you let it sit. Just my guess though. Orc looked real good.
I would normally agree but I left it to sit for wellllll over 12 hours! (Purely because I forgot to go back to it lol) which is why I was super confused haha. Thanks for the compliment:)
You can just get some ultra matte Liquitex medium. Mix a tiny bit into the ink. You literally don't need much, a drop maybe. It'll eliminate the shine before you even paint.
I used white acrylic ink to draw with a dipping pen on black paper and it looks fantastic. I've used a lot of Indian ink in the past but acrylic inks flow better. Shellac ink goes gummy but acrylic flows wonderfully
Interesting video with the pros and cons, I've been meaning to pick up these particular inks for aaaages to test them out, but I've never got around to it! 😆
Thank you 🙏🏻 I would recommended them but like I said there are pros and cons. Mainly it’s a new product to me so learning how to use them was the challenge! But they are extremely vibrant so they will be used again!
IMHO, it may not be worth buying that set. At least where I am at, you can get the individual inks at the same per unit price or even a bit cheaper than the set, and if you buy individually, you can get Magenta and Cerulean Blue rather than Red and Primary Blue. Getting the CMY colors will lead to better mixing to make other hues.
Ive been using inks for glazing my necron wepons. I need a high gloss black so thanks for that! Did you airbrush it straght from the bottle to get the gloss? Great video!
@@johnosminis thanks for getting back, I need the gloss for vallejo shifters paint and it's hard to get a good gloss and keep the details as I find gloss is super thick. Did you fave that problem with the inks?

you can mix ink with matching colour to increase colour intensity - you can add matt medium to ink for airbrushing to mute the high gloss of the ink.

Fantastic! That would explain the problem then, I’ll try this tomorrow and see what it looks like! Cheers dude!
Great video again! For Ork skin, I tried a few methods but found basecoating deep orange/yellow and then green wash/shade worked best!
Cheers!! Ooo that sounds like it could be a great idea, im gonna try that now infact haha

try adding a tiny dot of red to your greens. it’ll calm the green down so it’s less saturated and it should work better for skin tones that way. 😊

It's great to see the quality of each of you videos coming along in leaps and bounds.

@@johnosminis it's not that the old videos are low quality it's just see the effort you are putting into them to make each one better than the last.
@@robertmitchell3495 I appreciate it man! I defo have been sinking more time into editing haha, glad it’s paying off
@@johnosminis definitely is mate. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next video!
I
Have used these over Vallejo primers through the airbrush with no issues. Also combined them with mini paints.
I’ve heard that combining the ink with paint is the best way to go around using inks. That is an experiment for next time!

Huh never thought I would be jealous of a paint pot😉
Hahaha, If only you was so lucky
I'm trying to find the bottles for my contrast paints now 😅
I can link you on discord now mate!
@@johnosminis cheers mate much appreciated
You can also underpaint like in slap chop and you can mix them with most acrylic paints
These inks are fun. Thanks for showing them off.
No problem! What would you like to see me do next :)
@@johnosminis How are you at airbrushing while juggling? 🤪
I’ve been told I’m quite the professional at it
@@johnosminis Found your niche then.

A little green goes a long ways. Prep it with a dark brown glaze to darken the white zenithal before applying the green.

Been thinking about these for a while now. Especialy the darker ones for terrain. Cant afford to Nuln oil it all haha
They’d be spot on for terrain mate, just be careful like you said ;) haha

Thank you Robert!! id love to see your necron weapons. I still mixed it 50/50 with airbrush thinner and it gave a super glossy finish!!

Great video mate keep it up 💪
Thank you trav, always trying to improve with each vid 👊🏻
Is there an Umber?
Yes mate! I tried using it on the trousers of the ork
If you used something to thin that green then that's probably why it got efed up man. Just use water
Awesome, water next time for sure 👌🏻 thanks!
