This is incredible. I love the effect around the eyes, but i also love the damage on the helmet, plus an new way to do white (compared to what i have seen). This article is great. There are so many useful ideas and techniques in here.

Amazing article, quite inspiring, but also quite frustrating...his work goes from a few rough washes, a bit rough, to god-like in one picture on page 2. :(

Excellent article, very precise and well presented. It's a great effect that I'm probably going to try sometime soon. Thanks!

Beautiful helmet ! And a great tutorial, I've been trying out painting scratches like you do but it's nowhere near your quality ! Thanks for the article and thanks to alexgrunt for translation :)

Setting aside a helmet to try to replicate this one :)

Although it looks cool, I don't feel this technique gives a realistic look. The eyes in the helmet are recessed. Therefore, a glow eminating from them would actually cast the raised plates around them in shadow, not reflect light onto them. Think about it this way: turn on a flashlight. Is the outside of the flashlight lit up by the bulb? It's a more extreme example, but it's the same principle.

The rest is absolutely amazing, though.

Ive seen ALLOT of techniques and most of them i will just look over and go "ok i see what they are doing, i bet i could have figured that out if id looked at the model long enough" or i might say "yeah ive done that before just not in that way" But this is compleatlly beyond anything ive ever done or seen, how the heck did you ever come up with that? Amazing

I've always liked the way you paint your models (the examples here and on the net are several), but when I read that you have spent about 45min on the single helmet, I've understand why your minis looks so "real". Excellent and inspiranting. Thanks for sharing this technique.

I would never have guessed the scratches were painted by looking at it. The glowing eyes are indeed very eye catchy (no pun intended). Not to be confused with source lighting, this effect is more of ambient lighting. Imagine a focused light shining through a small hole. There will be a dark area immediately around the light, but then there will be a lit circle around that dark area. I believe this is what's simulated. Perhaps not true to physics, but we never are when painting miniatures. I like this stylized effect.
