Last fall I took the plunge and backed my first Kickstarter campaign. Since then, I've pledged support for a few more.
One of the more recent campaigns I've backed was Games & Gears' Pro Studio brushes. A few weeks ago, I received my order:
I pledged at the £25 level and received a total of nine brushes, as pictured above.
This included the Core Set, which consists of brushes in sizes 000, 00, 0, 1 and 2:
As well as the stretch goal rewards of the 3LX, 4RX, and the S1 and S2 specialist brushes:
All of the brushes are sturdily constructed with big, thick handles. The Kolinsky sable hair bristles are strong and snap back with good resiliency. Also, the bellies provide an adequate reservoir for dispensing paint.
Interestingly, compared to the Raphael 8404 brushes I regularly use, the Pro Studio brush heads are noticeably smaller:
I don't know exactly what this will mean performance wise, as I've only been able to play around a bit with these Pro Studio brushes, but I'm excited to start using them.
I think the dual heads will be helpful in blending better highlights, and I'm looking forward to trying my hand at wet blending. After a little more experience with them, I'll be able to give a more thorough review.
Next up: An actual update on the basecoating and shading of the Grot Tank.
So until next time, keep painting!
