I had an old Chaos Lord just lying around so I primed him white and decieded to try out this wet blending technique I've been researching. Here's a result of his cape, I'm quite proud of the results, but tell me what yall think.

Looks like the white may need some work, and a nice black wash on the cape might help, but aside that I do think that is a very good white you achieved, better than any white I've ever done.

RAM

Why thank you, the white is still a work in progress. Once done, I expect the model to have sort of a dirty,pre-heresy death guard color scheme to him. Its just for a practice paint job though, the piece itself will probaly never see the board.

What I'm really interested in hearing are the color transitions in the cape using wet blending.

Very very cool, more pics as you move on? I did a similar technique for one of my Skaven.(With the cloak)

I have one pic i will upload tomarrow. It's of better quality and shows the contrast better since it was taken outside.

I'm considering making a blog of these "experiments", where I set a goal and see if it was accomplished or not.

As said, here is the pic I took outside.

Looks cool. The white may need a bit more pink though

I think it looks cool! Personally I'd add a little darker color to the cape, but that's just me. Keep up the good work!

I'd shade the cloak with a Dark green wash, would really make the red highlights come out and make your model cohesive.

Got any photos of the front?

The white was simply a little test that went so-so. I wasn't exactly sure how to get a good blend for the white without the guy looking like a gray scale. That being said, I'm really not proud of the front. In fact, this guy will probaly be one of my practice models, one which I can strip repeatedly and paint with new techniques I am interested in.

Green Wash huh? I've herd that from several sources but havn't had the set to try it.

Darkening foundations red is a bit of a pain, but some scorched brown did the trick.
