DIY is in the spirit of grog-hood right?
I've been making my own acrylic washes, and haven't really had some proper criticism and feedback on other places I've posted this stuff on what I've made so far.
Basically the objective is idiot proof ink washes that are "soft-bodied" so they don't stain flat surfaces that much but stain recesses and raised details just fine.
In my ink experimentation I made a devlan mud/strong tone (strong tone mimics devlan mud) looking acrylic ink wash and a black wash.
I could genuinely use some criticism and feedback on how I did, and what I could do to improve the ink washes.
>inb4 oils and enamels
I just want to stubbornly stick with acrylics.

Made two ink washes.
One is a black wash being 10 daler rowney drops to keep the wash soft bodied for my goals.
And the other one is 18 drops of daler rowney sepia and 2 drops of daler rowney black ink, and it looks like Devlan Mud which I've seen being compared to ArmyPainter's strong tone.
I think the rule of thumb for making softbodied acrylics is "20 drops or less" here.
