Hi all - I did a bit of searching but couldn't find what I was looking for. I recently bought the Mad Scientist Reaper mini as I had never taken on painting something, well, non-fantasy/sci-fi/what have you. I am at loss on how to paint beakers or glasses, though. I was hoping I could get some tips or articles or advice on this from someone here? I'd really appreciate it!
Painting beakers of liquid
- Thread starter stinlin

Pretty tough to pull this one... there will be good example in the gallery of what it would look like under 'mad scientist' or 'sister of mercy' (Seringue) I think.
I would say you have the liquid horizontally -------
Then a other line a bit darker and wavy to give a 3d feel ------
------
And a vertical very stark highlight (White) ------ I ------
Then a couple darker transitions near the edges (vertical)
That's the best explanation I can formulate... your much better off looking a pics :/

I'd read once (way back when, so I won't be bothered to find it) that sometimes painting the liquid in a container will only look "right" from one direction. This might be one of those cases.
One thing to look at would be the CMON 18 contest pictures. I've tried to make my entry's soda bottles look like they were filled with liquid. I'm sure some others can chime in with other examples. Beer would be a good one to search for. That's a popular subject around here.

depends on the pose of the minis but it can certainly be the case search for fabius bile, he's a good example
Some great examples here, thank you. The Fabius Bile by rolljordan is the look I'm going for - almost a bit cartoony. We'll see how it turns out though...Reference images work great though! There's the one with the inner light effect going on, but I have yet to figure out how to do that well. :sidefrown:
