I do like the colour scheme over the others. I think as I get better with the NMM Gold it will sit better as well.
I realise its not the neatest job I have done, but I will be using a double 00 brush instead of a 0, when I do my real models. Also probably need a dryer brush when doing the glow effect, but still I think I have progressed nicely and the major change, I have not used quickshade!

I really like the blue and the green glow, not too keen on the gold though, just looks brown to me tbh, may just be the photos though I guess. Also make sure you paint the other metallic parts like rivets, really makes a difference. Maybe do the rivets silver then wash the gold and rivets with some black wash?
ReplyDeleteHorns look good too.
DeleteThe 'gold' looks a bit different in person. More of a stone look actually. I think I need to tone down the shadow colours a bit and neaten it up. The rivets etc do have a highlight colour on them but obviously needs more.
ReplyDeleteI was dismayed that my nmm gold did look different to the tutorial, but the guy is a GD winner so I shouldnt let that dismay me. Practice practice practice. And I do sort of like the stone look. Egyptian Architects ho! I think the next batch of figures may differ on the especially as they will be based white not black (+blue).
Thanks for the support regardless Paul :). I was quite happy with that green.
Here is the Son I was using as a base image to go from.
