Bloodofthefallens Project Log

Thanks Dragontree!! :-)

I'm painting the armour on the first kalabite warriors, would people be interested in a photo tutorial of how i do the armour if so once there done I will post it up should be Friday sometime

Yes! A tutorial on everything, as I said.

Yes please, I really like how you do your shadows. Right now I'm trying to push contrast by going for a lighter then normal color and then shading the whole thing down

Absolutely gorgeous and a pretty impressive way to kick off your project log. Welcome!

Thanks Mr_Pink

Right tutorial time!!

First I prime the model white. I then basecoat the model with Sotek Green.



Then its time to shade! I take Incubi darkness and mix it with 80% water and gradually paint this into the areas i wish to be darkest. On this one I probably repeated this process 6-7 times till the shadow reach the desired level I wanted.



this does take time but the results are great!

Then its time to highlight I mix Sotek green with white 50/50 and water it down 80% again. I use the some process as with the shades i drag the paint to the area i wish to be lighter repeating 6-7 times

finally i do a white hard edge highlight



I use this process with all my colours and just vary it depending on what im painting. Hope this helps guys let me know your thoughts below

A friend was kind enough to do some photos of my Archon on his dslr

If you are any good at photoshop wizardry then flames behind him would make him look epically bad ass...

Its all great but the cloak and, possibly oddly, the base are my highlights. They just have great depth to them.

Looking forward to tonnes more!

I enjoyed your tutorial btw but its far beyond me as a form of painting, partly skill wise but massively patience wise, just don't have it in me.

So kudos again to you

beautiful...

I've only just noticed the detail on his upper leg armour?1?!! My heart...

Wow wow! I think we've got some bromance here hahah! So you are a fan of turquoise color scheme too! I prefer gradients from black to base color, but your color transition on archon looks badass! If you are interested - check my plog. I think we can have long convo bout painting the dark kin hehe.

HA! So, basically, the answer is that this paint scheme is achieved through tons of talent and time, not through tips and tricks

MASSIVE respect for your effort, friend. It definitely shows.
