Time for a three way


This last set of images shows another one of the 40k versions, minus the BossPole.  I was just curious to see what he would look like without one, so I used that for the Painting Pyramid video for the Shaded Basecoat technique.


There was a great variety of surface types... armor, skin, weapons, etc., so I could really go all out!


It's pretty wild to see them all together.  I took a few different approaches to painting them as further experiments.  The final version was painted in a different manner than the first two.  Lots more middle tone work right away using the "light glaze" technique.  That is, mixing glaze colors with regular paint to make a semi-opaque glaze.

Painting that over the top of darker colors tints them in a reverse manner than tinting a lighter color and making it darker.  This is especially fun on skin tones, but also on metal surfaces as well.  It can give them a more reflective feel.
