Myxx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 so I am making a kitbashed Coteaz for my LPC vow, and it involves a hooded falcon from the Bretonnian range. I've never done feathers, and since the GW painting site has been "suspended", I'm curious if any of the brothers here have any tips... I know DA have an abundance of feathers on there models, and some SW have the Chooser of the Slain model...

winterdyne Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The trick the feathers is the highlighting. You'll be tempted to drybrush it all - my advices is don't. Use thinnish paint and highlight from inside to edge. This causes the stroke to be stronger at the end. Repeat with a couple of lighter shades for each colour. At the high end you can knock saturation off by VERY gently drybrushing the edges of the feather with a ligh bone / buff.
