Forté Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Very nice start. Have you put highlights on yet? Which colour if you have (using my phone so can't really see the pics properly).

FlakMonkey Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 its hawk turquoise with a mix of hawk turquoise and ice blue for highlights. i washed it after with nuln oil. (using paint that i have on hand as the nearest store is about an hour away >.<) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285372-unnamed-yet-diy-chapter/#findComment-3563422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Shame you went for Nuln. It can really dull the turquoise. I find adding a bit of red to the turquoise works really well. Ice was a good choice for the HL. You've got a clean style there too. And a great flesh tone.

FlakMonkey Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Red? i've never thought of that i'll try it out. yeah i'm not too happy about the nuln but will remedy that hopeful when i am able to get some new paint ;) thanks.

Forté Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Colour theory ;) If you use the contrasting colour (opposite on the colour wheel) it looks more natural.

disease Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 they look very good from what I can see. Have a look at making a light box or even get some white paper and a lamp for photos, will make a difference. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285372-unnamed-yet-diy-chapter/#findComment-3568188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
