Cruor Vault Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I needed a break from painting my millionth Ultramarine so I decided to paint up one of the knights cluttering up my cabinet. I wanted to try a new technique out so I opted to do some marble armor. http://i.imgur.com/IwxrmGW.jpg http://i.imgur.com/hcBTNTS.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361702-marble-armor-castellan/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majkhel Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Fantastic work! Has this something to do with spraying through a torn-fibre tissue method?

StraightSilver Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Yes, enquiring minds would like to know how this was done. :)I'm guessing the cotton wool strands technique?

Slightly stretched out dryer sheets. Total time to do the marble was maybe 90 minutes, counting the learning process as I had never tried it before.

Cruor Vault Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 The 100% finished result. Crushed glass and water effects for snow and some dead grass to break up the base a little.

Was it the marble drop pod? There's also a good one using steel wool.

The Drop Pod is pretty close to what I was originally imagining when I set out on this project.

Debauchery101 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 https://youtu.be/eLVE1q0fGDA This guys tutorial is pretty good. I really think you should use some pigment dust instead of washes/inks. The ultra flat dust will really bring out the polished marble. I think the silver trim next to the green is taking away from the great effect of your nice marble/granite look. Maybe an aged gold/polished bronze would bring it out more.

Theres no pigment dust needed. just a little black wash for outlining the silver. Silver is better because then I am not adding any warm tones to the model, keeping with the limited pallet cool tones I chose.

From pictures I think the silver is too bright and similar to tones in the marble. That and the seemingly gloss black lining from wash steal away the detail from the green. Which looks really awesome in that close up. For real try a light brown pigment dust. .if you dont like it, it literally wipes away with spit and napkin. I recently started using all these tools and techniques scale modelers use and I'm surprised how easy and effective they are Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361702-marble-armor-castellan/#findComment-5473006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
