Chest of Colors forum

first 1 whas Hobgoblin the grey secount 1 is Hobgoblin the white ..
you missing Hobgoblun the black

this time hands look better - as they are separated
blades to - especialy back 1 - better but thats not valid NMM - try next 1 with proper NMM (look at Flamon black NMM )

but never less details such like belt , straps on arms or claws on foots are much beter visible - now if you combine this with the idea that yo whana lets sey - get grown cloaths , red belt end green skin - end menage to presentthis in B/W in a way that all ppl wil know that belt got difrent Value then cloths end skin is also difrent - you get this exorcize done
- (yes thats possible as each volor got it own vave lenght end red is 750 when blue is 330 - so by difrent contrast you will get somthing like that )
if you need future tips how to i will make fast photo manipulation
as an inspiration :
works from Ignis

OK, so i will prepare and prime the next one and read up on NMM (never did that before).
Will try to start with the blades and will post them separately to try to get them right.

Regarding the black and white value of the colors i found this:

somthing wrong pictures dont load ... but i get whhat is on photos
ye thats the idea - about blades - make them look "shine" without metalic paint - this is quite intresting tech as it look good only if contrast is realy high but adicionaly transicion is male real like

Pictures don't load cause on those, cmon don't allow third part linking, you have to drag and drop the links into a new tab of your browser to actually be able to see the pics

Shine like here?

After reading this thread i started to try this out for my self but i started with a GW wardancer model and it is quite flat any suggestion on painting black and white on "flat" models ?

Daniel

Hi Daniel, perhaps we should ask Maru if we could make this thread into a classroom? So the newbies have an own thread for exercises?

might be a Good idea. I really think this is a good exerciser to learn about contrast and shadown/highligth.

Lol, my first try at NMM blades was for the trash, so no pics today.

That mey be good idea to change this to general training topic a "classroom" - less serching

Lol, my first try at NMM blades was for the trash, so no pics today.

Well mout ppl dont gerr this right for first time . actualy, non of them without tutor siting next to them

any suggestion on painting black and white on "flat" models ?

a Gradient like on computer graphic programs
so thats quite good training as yu got adicional chandicap not only black end white but but flat to - so how to
layering is 1 of opcions , other is glazing - rhats realy good 1 as you mey also get the "water control" by doing this , best 1 (meybe not best but fastest end adicionaly hardest - Wet blending - effect made corectly is realy good ) but wet blending reqire control over water end paint

so is moust advenced 1

well blending training is good idea eny way
