in kaiju gouache
Permalink »
It’s been so long!  I’ve missed you all!  Sorry about the lack of posts.  Lately inspiration has been a little bit scarce, but I thought I’d jump back on the horse with a new kaiju painting!  This is Agasukeron, one of my favorites.  These colors aren’t exactly true to form as far as the figure goes, but I do love some pink every now and then. Here’s a tip: don’t paint with gouache on top of reg’lar old acrylic without some sort of matte medium between the two!  For some reason my brain turned off and I thought I’d save some gouache by painting the background here in acrylic.  Mistake!  Ended up using more gouache to keep my colors solid and even.  So don’t be a noob like me: all gouache, combo gouache and acrylic gouache, or make that acrylic a decent surface to paint on.
