Trying to get a good highlighting job on my talons but so far every thing comes out one color. How do i make it look good???

Here is a picture of one of my models.

I think you should try painting the highlight a little lighter.

Try painting it with a lighter red, could you tell us what color you're using?

What I did for my red talons was red gore base, dry brush the sharp edges with blood red, then a slightly lighter drybrushing (same area) of blazing orange. Picks up the contrast like crazy (imo).

gradient fills generated by drybrushing!




It's easy and it's striking!

theironjef is correct.
Love the blue claws, looks awesome.

To highlight red you should try Orange instead of a lighter red
