Chest of Colors forum

hi guys got to do some painting last night i only worked on the armour and cape so far so good any sugestions would be appreciated
thanks jason

cape looks fine, reds are highlighted well but you need to do something with the edges now.



just like usually it's just a quick and dirty sketch, but it shows the idea...

Yeah, agree with Mahon here, red is missing something to make it "burst" (not the right word, but can't find how to say it in another way in english)

I know what you mean. some say 'pop'

fur will drop shadow ower cape atm it do not
red covered by Mahon

havent you ben tempted by adding colors in mid tones on Cape ??

thanks for all the advice , im responding abit late as the web was down for more than a week mahon i was just wondering if there is another way of making the armour look more finished other than highlighting the edges as this style does not appeal to me
thanks jason

yeah, apply the highlights and blend them with the colors you already have. I did just a quick visual presentation of placing the highlights. what you do with them is absolutely up to you.

hey guys heres the latest minis that ive been doing over the last couple of nights im going to paint them as per the box art as they are going to find new homes, only really worked on the gold so far and suggestions or ideas always appreciated
thanks jason

it would be easier to give you detailed comment if you posted just one of these on a bigger picture
