Re: Hellspawn's Salamanders

Took me some time, but I finally managed to get some painting done and I think I found what I wanted for my Salamanders.
This is basically just a test, thus not that much done on the mini. It was more to see if the methods I wanted to use would meet my expectations and I must say, I'm happy with the results.
No complicated or fancy stuff.

Now I need to decided which method I'll use. I like them both. I like the one primed in white cause the color is brighter, but I like the one primed in grey cause it has a better contrast.
On all the previous minis, I was priming in white, then adding one airbrush layer of green, and then one layer of darker green and another of black in specific spots while holding mini upside down for shadows, and then three layers of lighter greens for highlights.
Not complicated things since it was airbrushed, but the colors weren't had some variations and in the end, not really the results I was looking for. Sadly, it took me too long to notice it.
Now I'll just need to decide if I go for white or grey primer and then, I guess I'll be able to resume my army (and hopefully make it playable).
Again, this is just a test to see the renders. Once I'll be settled on a color to prime the minis with, I'll do the edge hightlights, the lining etc, but regarding the general shadows/highlights, nothing more will be done.

- I did two tests:
First one: primed in white (skull white GW), a spray of black while holding the mini upside down to add some shadows, and then a simple green layer with airbrush. Nothing else.

Second one: primed in light grey (uniform grey AP), spray of black for the shadows while holding mini upside down, and spray of white on top for the highlights. Nothing else.
