Chest of Colors forum

Heya,

Here's my first dirz. Painted in metallics because I wnat them to see the table soon, and I dont have the courage/skill yet to paint all that armour in nmm. I think I need to highlight the cloth a more (judging from the pic) and smoothen the metallics on the sword. And then all is left are the final details and some freehand.
Oh and I'm experimenting with photoshop a bit, that's why I added a background
And ignore the cathair on the base

On his chest armour it looks almost as if it has green glow about it. Is that intentional or because of the photo because I think it looks really cool!

The robes have very much space on them and maybe a little freehand would be nice... (swirls maybe?)

the greenish shine is intentional. I glazed the armour a couple of times with a very diluted snot green.

and about the freehand:

Me and reading...

I like it - it's nice to finally see a rackham mini painted not in nmm
smooth clothes are cool (even without any freehands) just like a chess pattern; I must try sth similiar on any of my minis... looks so effective...
have You concidered adding some rust on the armour?

I don't really think rust will suit this mini. I tried for a really clean armour, would be a bit of a wast if a would rust it maybe some weathering in the deepest areas, but I'm not sure yet.

And thanx ^^

no rust...?
