Here are the colors we are going to need (all are Reaper Master Series):
0= Black
1. Red Brick
2. Deep Red
3. Blood Red
4. Bright Red
5. Phoenix Red
6. Fire Orange
7. Pure White
8. Future Floor Polish (or a shiny gloss)
Stage 1. Recoat all of the areas you plan to do with black. Picture one below.
Stage 2. Fill 3/4 of the gem in a moon shape with Red Brick. Picture two below.
Stage 3. Fill 3/4 of the red brick moon shape with Deep Red. Picture three below.
Stage 4. Fill 3/4 of the deep red with blood red. Picture one below.
Stage 5. Fill 3/4 of the blood red with bright red. Picture two below.
Stage 6. Fill 3/4 of the bright red with Phoenix Red. This should be about a sliver by now. Picture three below.
Stage 7. Fill just a small part of the phoenix red with Fiery Orange. Picture one below.
Stage 8. Add a white dot to the 1/4 black. Picture two below.
Stage 9. Finally, coat all of your gems with Future Floor Polish. This will give them that extra bit of shinyness.
You should wait until after you dullcoat to do this though, I have done it here just to show you the result.
Picture three below.

Joined: 19-February 06 it comes to two dimensional art, I just don't have the talent to do intricate designs. So, what I did do was a
couple of runes that mirror the runes on the axe.
The coulours:
Stage 1. Darken in the design that you want with Dragon Black (or a suitable black color). In this case I have
gone with a simple design using the runes from the axe. Picture one below.
Stage 2. Using the Ultramarine Shadow, I have blocked in the black runes, leaving just a small amount of
black around the edges. Picture two below.
Stage 3. Using Ultramarine Blue, I have filled in the Ultramarine Shadow, leaving only a small edge showing.
Picture three below.
Stage 4. Using True Blue, I have hit only the raised areas of the tattoos. Picture four below.
Stage 5. Usine Sky Blue, very sparingly, I have hit all the corners and extreme raised areas. Picture five
below.
Ok, so not what some of you may have been expecting, but if you have an aritistic nature you may have still
learned something and can hopefully apply it with your abilities.

4. Bottle Top

6. Red Ink (Reaper Master Series) - not shown in pic
dropper and get some water (about a quarter of the way on a small eye dropper) and add it to the mix.
Ok, using the pointy end of the skewer, add a small amount of the mix to the tip. Then, transfer it onto the
base. If you have to put it in a tight spot, set it on an open spot first, and slowly pull the snow into the tight
areas (i.e. next the the goblin head). Continue in this fashion until you are satisfied.
