the emperor is scottish Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Anyone have good tips on painting green flame? Maybe a few skaven players out there who paint warpfire. Green is what I'm most interested in but let me know if you have had any success with any other colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I haven't done this but this is how i would approach it: I would paint the whole fire with Skull White then, rather than using green paint, use washes of Green Thraka. Make sure you keep the core of the flame white and, with successive washes, build up the green colour as you move to the extremities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Injek Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I started with the darker colors, and I worked toward the lightest point (Fiery Orange, Golden Yellow, Sunburst Yellow, white). We’re keeping the transitions smooth. The reflections can be made with glazes, which will create the natural effect of light falling on the surfaces. Just a snippet from this tutorial. It's not incredibly in-depth, but it should serve as a good starting point. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah-a-nothepsis Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The washes are a good idea but remember that fires (especially bale flames) would be brighter at the source/depths White with progressively darker green would make more sense, but would be harder to achieve sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's close to what you'd be looking for. Yep, almost a perfect Skull White down to a Scaly Green at the exterior. EDIT: Removed half the junk I said. This is probably the color scheme you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
