Room of Confusion - Dwarven Forge Game Tiles painted with all different color schemes drybrush and washes

Video of Room of Confusion

Video of Room of Confusion - including dark with LED lights- BTW - the LED lights are actually from IKEA - with the great IKEA name KALLT, and the LED candles were from oriental trading - clearance Halloween LED candles



Started out with the idea of a room with many colored tiles - painted up a bunch in Dwarven Forge Game Tiles  painted with all different color schemes drybrush and washes

painted up a bunch in Dwarven Forge Game Tiles  painted with all different color schemes - These are the washes - almost every tile I have seen was done in drybrushing, so thought I would try out some washed tiles - they turned out great.  3 different shades of green, and 3 browns.  They end up looking a lot like marble tiles.

painted up a bunch in Dwarven Forge Game Tiles  painted with all different color schemes - the drybrushes, all of them worked good, except - pink base with geen/yellow drybrush.... just did not like that one.  ;-)

Room of Confusion - Dwarven Forge Game Tiles  painted with all different color schemes drybrush and washes.  The mixed tiles laid next to each other didn't look quite as good as I hoped, and I didn't finish the wall pieces yet, but a checkerboard pattern with the primed white /black wall pieces and the chamber of sorrows pieces looked great - the white and black pieces look so good - deciding if I want to just leave some of the walls like that - I know I certainly have enough extra wall pieces.....  laid out huge elementals in each corner - earth fire water air

Dwarven Forge Game Tiles painted with all different color schemes drybrush green tile

Green base coat - whole tile - no primer - green comes out pretty dark - you can see its lighter in a few swipes on the paper, didn't have the brand of paint, but mixed it up as close as I could

add drybrush of Pokorny Paints "Base Gray"



 Dry brush entire tile with Pokorny Paints "Stone Edge"
movie to get a better look at the tile near others - green tile is from "top" by fire elemental - 3 in and 3 down (ignore passage way at top)


trying out some others - yellow base red dry brush, then did a dry brush in black on 1 of the tiles to see how it looked(not pictured)


demon door,  Pokorny Paints "Stone Edge" dry brush, then a drybrush with red

lots of questions on how I did the glue effects on the dwarven forge tiles

lots of questions on how I did the glue effects on the dwarven forge tiles

I didn't paint the slimes - I got colored glue sticks from amazon - just make sure you get the correct size for your glue gun, most colored sticks are for the mini glue gun.... only a few are made for full size glue guns...(don't try to stick the wrong size in a glue gun).  ;-)  here's my learning xp on trying that(and how to fix the glue gun afterwards).  change glue sticks for the mixed colors.  kind of mix them together slowly.  red/burgandy is great as it looks like it just ate something
http://realminis.blogspot.com/2013/10/fixing-glue-gun.html



the extended "reaching" look   put on the glue and let cool enough so its not running, but still moves, tilt the tile and use gravity.... careful if its still too runny, as it will want to keep going and detach like a drip.... i found i had to keep tilting it back and forth if too running and even flip back and go back in, then try again when not so runny.
One on the right used this gravity effectfrom tilted tile  to reach out, one on the left, just dripped glue down the wall



webbing was just adding a thin strip of glue at a time and layering

layered thin trail slime effect


And the folding looking part - is carefully blowing on the glue to warp it a bit ( you can use a straw so you don't get your face so close)

bottom of slime below gravity effect - used a straw to blow the glue into the crevices and get the warped folded look
