Thanks in advance!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/735161/9532811.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/735161/9532811.page GMT
In the case of shoulder pads with trim... The highlight on the pad itself, should go on the "highest curved part". Where the light would strike it. So not edge highlighted. If you were to paint a highlight "close to the trim as possible" it would look like the recess where they meet is lit up, and that would look out of place.

The easiest way to think about it or do it is with a wash. The wash will settle in the recess near the trim leaving the middle rounded part of the pad lighter.

The harder way is to actually paint the highlight in, (on?)

Hopefully a better painter than I can chime in with a more succinct explanation or even an example.

For example my steps to make green armor are Caliban base

Warpstone through an airbrush from the top, and at a 45 degree all around the model.

Last spot highlighting with moot, then lightly wash, gives a nice good highlight.

You can also do a more more time consuming process of blending and or glazing, These are not really things you would want to do for your table top, unless all you have is time on your hand as it can take a while to just get one done. Air brush is the quicket, best way to highlight on flat surfaces. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/735161/9532851.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/735161/9532851.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/735161/9533978.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/735161/9533978.page GMT
