While reading these over and over and over and over and ov.....I have been painting a sword repeatedly trying to accomplish the effect. I understand the effect and the technique in theory I seem to not understand it in application. I paint the sword white then start from just near the top edge of the sword and make a blue line across and blend it down to white at the middle of the sword before it tilts the other way, leave a little room and start with a dark brown and blend it out to white again. The problem is it never looks SHINY it just looks like a sword with some blended blue on top and blended brown bellow and a white void between. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to get it just right? I'm trying to get this worked out so i can make chrome armor for my new models when they arrive.
I'll paint the sword up again and upload it, sorry i thought to post right after repainting it white -.- the shoulder pad isnt painted just has blue on it from my thumb
