...First of all the sword idea was stolen from this,<br /><br />http://dukesinferno.blogspot.com/2011/06/hobby-painting-power-weapons-by.html<br /><br />It was a build up of around 4 colours.<br /><br />With the washes I did hit it with one layer of Sepia then so I think I'll give it another.<br /><br />The golds I used were a mix of shining gold and burnished gold one for darker places and one for lighter. <br /><br />The main problem with the pictures I take is it doesn't compliment anything I do haha.<br /><br />I will try the higlight of mithril and hit it with another wash and see how it looks thanks!Warflakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466746323641160628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-34029462904575679002011-08-03T05:47:16.346+01:002011-08-03T05:47:16.346+01:00Looking Good!

I would recommend a wash of Gryphonia Sepia and/Ogryn Flesh on the gold as the reddish brown tones really help define gold areas.<br /><br />Another method you can try next time is this;<br /><br />Basecoat - 50/50 Shining Gold (I think it is this one - it's the darker of the two) and Scorched Brown - though I tend to use more 30/40 Gold/Brown.<br /><br />Wash - Use the above colours as a wash<br /><br />Highlight 1 - Straight Shining gold, leaving the darkest colours in the recesses.<br /><br />Highlight 2 - Simply hit all the hard edges with a fine layer of Mithril Silver. It is subtle, but really helps the mini pop. Check out my Current Commissions page on my site for an example.<br /><br />The sword looks killer, what method did you use for it? I have an idea of how, but I am curious to know.MrHGHowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13548627189283754745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-54507708109070301702011-08-02T23:42:21.751+01:002011-08-02T23:42:21.751+01:00Your welcome....lolYour welcome....lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
