Ravenguard Sergeant Uziel
This was both my first and second attempt at the light source effects... the first trial run turned out well, but once the rest of the hilights went on and the varnish was applied, the darker tones of the blue sunk into the black and the glow became a lot less obvious. When I went back to finish up the rest of the axe (handle and shaft) I also redid the glow... basically the same transition as the first time but stretched out a bit more to become a little more striking. That's one thing I hate about this particular varnish I'm using... it blends colors together really nicely but it does strange things to black. Takes all the depth out of it, and almost makes it look like a dark grey rather than pure black. Sadly that also means some of the darker hilighting over black gets lost too, but I'm still quite happy with the results on any other colors I use so it's not all bad :) In case anyone was wondering, yes the whole army will (hopefully) be as nice looking as this Sergeant. I have done about 15-20 models so far and with a bit of luck and hard work everything will be finished up before the GT at the end of October! Almost forgot to mention... it was Matt Verzani's wicked Cypher model that served as the primary "inspiration" for the model. I really liked the color choices he made and carried some over to this fig.
