One suggestion that usually gets the job done for glow for me is to do a reversal of standard highlighting/shading procedure. By which I mean all the crags and holes and gaps are painted the brightest, and the darkest being the hard edges, with the flat spots being the middle colours. I have a hard time getting a glow to work with less than 4-5 colours, but that's just me.

Keep up the good work!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220099/405492.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220099/405492.page GMT Re:Ahhhh yea.. it's marine time

Can you post a pic of what you mean. I'm very interested.

Cheers,

Good eye, I am planning on making my army the 1st company. In actual game play, they will have to be just regular marines (I can't take that many stern guard).

Here is an update. A little more work done. This time a bit of highlighting.

Slight suggestion. Being that you are using white as your main contrast color, just try....on one and see if you like it...picking out the mouth vent lines with either a very light grey or even white. With as much attention to detail your giving them (sweet action on the eye's btw) I think that would really bring out the "blank spot" on their helmets.


P.S. Oh, and might a suggest washing the techno gubbins on the side of their helmets. They look really silvery in your pics.

Good call. I'll do that.

I hear you. Thanks for the comment. The glow shall be lowered.

Update: So, I started cleaning them up a bit and added some more highlighting. Thanks for all of the helpful comments guys.

The paint quality is looking GOOD. Very nice.

Please, skip the glowing eyes. It's not quite working out and distracting what are, otherwise. wonderfully painted minis

What did you do to the Sgt's skin? the head was looking REALLY good... then you went and painted over it.

I agree with Mr. Memories, the eyes are too much. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220099/412609.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220099/412609.page GMT Ahhhh yea.. it's marine time really really good.

I didn't notice the eyes at all until I read the thread, but they are nicey done, just not very noticable. Wjicj is probably a good thing.

Are these meant to be ultramarines,
or your own chapter?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220099/412649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220099/412649.page GMT Re:Ahhhh yea.. it's marine time

Oddly enough it was just a layer or two of dark flesh.

Well, other than a few minor odds and ends, I'm calling them done. C&C welcome as always.
