Apart from needing perhaps a few pagebreaks lol this is a great article - fantastic end result too!
Would you be able to add something (Or a different article) on acheiving dark metals, for example, chaos knights?

[Jarrett]

Awesome article - now I'll be greedy and ask for one about Golds, which are really hard to do nicely/smoothly

 

[Flame Of God]

thanks very much for all the comments everyone, I am very happy that the article has been interesting or useful to some of you!

As for gold metallics: well, the principle is exactly the same, I should have stressed that point more in this article. You can paint golds in exactly the same way, just by substituting gold metallic colours rather than the silvers I have used here. And it often helps to mix a bright silver colour with the gold metals for the final highlights, because the silver metallic paints tend to be brighter than the golds.

Great Article. I had a quick question though. How many layers of each color did you apply on average? Was it one coat a several?

On a scale of 1 to 10 this tutorial is 11.

This is SUPER helpful! I've been struggling with metallics and just knowing what to do with them. Currently I've been focusing my attention on NMM but I may start using my metals again after a few more runs with NMM. You really have inspired me! This article goes in the favs for sure!

 

[hckling]

Brilliant and bookmarked.

 

[abstracted reality]

Awesome! And exactly the frame of thought I have been in.

 

[darkartminiatures]

Super article! I can't help but feel that maybe some stages could be omited whilst still retaining similar results. Now that you have started to work in this manner and you have more experience would this be the case? Either way, its a 10 from me.

 

[Cleezy]

wow, really informative and helpful, so glad i read this and a great simple but effective guide on how to make the metals look so much better, thanks

 

[Lady Kito]
