"Painting" 40K Eldar with Sharpie Pens

I tried to speed paint some Eldar Guardians a few months back, using just a quick purple wash and metallic Sharpie for the Shuriken Rifles. This was before the release of the new Contrast Paints, but I think they turned out well despite not spending much time painting them....

Eldar Alaitoc Ranger

Old, classic Alaitoc Ranger from the 1990s.  I painted this for my still unfinished Eldar Alaitoc army.  He is sometimes used as a proxy for Illic Nightspear.

Eldar Fire Dragons

I finally finished my Eldar Fire Dragons after more than a decade after purchasing them.  I painted them using the dipping method, using Miniwax Polyshade - Royal Walnut Satin.  I then used a matte sealer to help take away the shine that the dipping method tends to leave.  I'll be working on more Eldar models for my Alaitoc army throughout 2017 and beyond.

Eldar Alaitoc Farseer

Farseer from the early 2000s.  I painted this for my still unfinished Eldar Alaitoc army.  Sometimes used as a proxy for Eldrad Ulthran.

Eldar Alaitoc Warlock

Warlock from the late 1990s.  I painted this more a decade ago for my still unfinished Eldar Alaitoc army.  I nicknamed him Gene Simmons.

Eldar Alaitoc Wave Serpent (Mottled)

A few years ago I finished my Wave Serpent for my Alaitoc Eldar force.  The army is not close to being fully painted, but this is one of the few models that is.  I used a mottling technique using a sea sponge.  I went into my gaming storage this morning and the sun was out, so grabbed my camera to test out a few photos with different lighting techniques (flash, sunlight, etc.) and background colors.
