Just a quick one really...
Everything seems to be breaking at the moment! If its not one thing,its something else...right now,its my bloody modem,so my internet access is...well,dead really.
Whilst not a major drama to the majority of you peeps im sure,theres a few i talk to regularly on MSN,and so now,if you have wondered why i havent been about so much recently,this is why! Damned annoying...
Even more annoying,i enquired into getting a new one,and as the modem i had is so old,they said i need a "all new,improved one"...which im fine with...dont think i wanna pay for it though,considering all my years loyalty...its a big chunk,and im dubious as to whether i can afford to be bothered at the moment...i've certainly been more productive without it sitting in front of me all day

Im still checking on new art by everyone,and keeping up with messages,one way or another,so you peeps carry on,i'll get to you eventually!

Work continues on my Golden Demon entries,one in particular is REALLY taking shape now,and im pretty stoked with it

Maybe there'll be a sneak peak at a later date...i'll count votes on that and see

Finally, the Title/Tune for this entry is an old progressive number, "Solace" by Medway...i recently completed a new mix cd, "Rendered Summer"...its full of happy vibes,from a variety of genres...a pleasant 2 disc listen if i say so myself...
Look after yourselves,i'll catch up with you peeps soon!

Love,Peace and Grease,

Firstly,im assuming (judging by your other recent comment) that your Eldar are for gaming,so in a way,theres nothing wrong with a "seven layer" technique as such,it means you can get your army painted,and with the right colour choices and keeping them neat,you could still have a great looking Eldar force.
Now...the other way,and using my Phoenix Lord as an example...i couldnt even begin to think how many layers he has,it was a white basecoat,and all the colour and shading has come from LOTS of thin washes,applied to create the right shapes,and then highlighted back up...its certainly not for gaming pieces and without sounding harsh (i hope),not for unconfident painters...i did that Lord a few years ago now,mostly as an experiment,and i did feel out of my depth a lot of the time,he only got finished because of friends keeping on at me to finish him
I haven't gone back to the white undercoat since,i prefer my black...
If you wanna try at a style like my Phoenix Lord,i can send you the tutorials i was sent by an American friend of mine if you want (white undercoat is very popular out there for some reason!) so if you want a pop at it,sort me your email and i'll send them over for you to study
Let me know squire!

So the fact you're willing to give it a go (ie - confident) is all you need. I'll send you the tutorials soon,hopefully by the end of the week/weekend,if thats ok
And dont worry about how slow you paint...slow and steady wins the race
