Painting Latex

[alien667]

Hi everybody.

Some one knows how to simulate latex in a miniature?

As latex is a very reflective material you need very sharp contrasts between black and white with little or no midtones. However to avoid the highlights looking streaky you could glaze over the transitions with a grey and then re-highlight with white.

once you have dullcoted the mini try painting the latex parts with a satin varnish.

this will give you a shine without a load of glare.

Frankly, your best bet is to download some fetish photos of [your gender of preference] wearing full body latex garments. That will give you a really good idea what the reflections look like. There are some minis done with this effect on CMON but I don\'t remember any names so they might be hard to find.

Thank you to all.
