In all I'm very happy with this squad! There are a few things ill change for next time. I need to make the red's pop a little more, so some more push on the contrast will be good. I also think i over cooked the final white glaze on the guardian spear, so they'll be a little less of that next time. I did use a purple wash selectively in the recesses to help deepen the shadows which i think worked quite well.
The 10,000 are well underway. Still a way off 10,000 but hey ho! more soon!
Oh, and what do you all think of the new black photo background? Better/worse than the old navy blue one??

Those look spectacular! I kinda like the highlight up to a hard white at the speartip, gives it a good focus.
ReplyDeleteThe black background works well with these, the blue works well with other colors - good to have the options!
Cheers Mordian. While I'm happy with them, I don't think I'm COMPLETELY happy with them yet!! (See Kahuna's comment below!) Still want to push that cibtrast a bit more to make the metal look more metallic. Think I may have a solution though...
DeleteContrast, contrast and contrast. Glad the purple wash is working out too. I think they look great. A green glaze on the red can work too bud.
ReplyDeleteI know I know! Lol!! Decided to give the base coat 2 washes next time, then apply the purples to the recesses, then begin a 3 stage highlight. Still need to let more of that washed base colour show through.
