Very simple color scheme, but I like it. What do you guys think?
I may not have based him very good, but I'm looking at getting him some treasure to stand amongst.






Cheers!

Nice work. Good color scheme, delicate work on the OSL. Very pleasing.

Incredible

Really liking this guy. May I ask how you got that goldish color?

Of course you can. Basically, the whole model is done by drybrushed Dwarf Bronze over black primer, then a Badab Black wash to make the bronze really dark. Then highlights with bronze and edge-highlights with Shining Gold. On some of the more open surfaces I try to make a smooth transition from bronze to gold as it gets closer to the edge.

The result is a high contrast and overall fairly varm, metallic feel. This is what I do on my regular necron guys too, although mostly I skip the transitions and am happy with the edge-highlights.

And thanks, you guys, for the kind words! I've got more minis upcoming, although not much necron stuff.

not based him very good?? not based him at all!

nah just kidding but i do like the simple but very effective paintjob! will the entire army look like this or is this just a single, stand alone model?

Those glowing eyes are quite intimidating. The staff also looks good.

The eyes are awesome. Its also nice to see the gold instead of the same old chrome.

I like that color choise alot! reminds me of old amiga games and cyber-punk/steam-punk stuff.
