Hi, although I\'m yet to try this technique I\'ve mentally mapped it out ready for a future project. Obviously the sky & earth must be horizontally level on whatever weapon/armour your working on. So far I\'ve been pretty impressed with the chrome effect produced by Arjay & Kuromaru. I think you have to blend a mid tone-sky blue down to almost white to represent the sky, and then paint a mid tone/earthy brown blended to a lighter brown at the bottom. The lightest part of the sky joins/meets the darkest part of the earth. I hope this makes sense. There is a great article on this technique in the \'Articles\' section @ CMON by Honza and he kindly directs you to further links on the Earth/Sky NMM technique. Knowing your theory helps. I don\'t claim to be able to acheive this effect but like you I hope to one day. Enjoy...

Thanks mouse, so I\'m not the only one that is confused...

Anyway I think it\'s best you just post a direct link to the picture you want us to see.

dungeontraders web site has many minis to choose from rackham go to confrontation at far left of site it will bring up his minis look at them i thought they were done se nmm.
 
If I\'m not mistaken, the photos he\'s referring to are the ones from Rackham\'s site itself.

Joey, Any particular shot you want us to look at? - or do you mean just in general?

I don\'t recall a SE/NMM example among those but I am not all that familiar with the range . . .

Hi,

we discuss this quite a bit on the Yahoo Group \"mini-painter. I\'d suggest lookingthere and doing a search in the archives for info on technique. :)

Hope this helps,

Kat

Last time on......
any good suggestions on a way to practice this technique .
I\'m currently trying Sky/Earth NMM and rather than waste a mini (tight git!) I\'m practising on pieces of primed offcut plasticard.
I\'ve used this idea before when I first started doing gemstones, and as always start large and practise getting smaller. (I\'m sure that theres a joke in there somewhere:)):flip:
Hope it helps. :bouncy:

How about a step-by-step? Please??
