Grimgore Ironhide- Metallic Metals

Post by CreganTur »

My current project: Grimgore Ironhide. I've had him for a long time, but his armor used to be red. I'm watching the Metallic Metals tutorial from Miniature Mentor and this is my follow-along project. So far I've just applied the initial base metallic and highlights, and then glazed over with some inks. I've still got a lot more shading to do on the armor, but it's getting a very nice, dirty patina that fits this orc well. Can't wait to see what he looks like finished.

There was some overrun of the metals onto the skin. That will be fixed later.

I could recomend adding more blue inks on the armour.

Like I said in the first post, that's only the first shade color. I'm actually going to be using both a purple and a blue ink mix for the mid and deep shades before bringing the highlights back up.
