Sweaty shirts!

[MathewBaich]

I am attempting to paint a sweating effect on a mini but I have no clue about how to go about it. I don\'t really want to experiment too much as I really like how the mini is turning out. Can anyone help me find examples of miniatures with sweaty, wet or transparent shirts? thanks!

I cant say off hand I ve seen minis with a sweaty shirt, but it sounds like a cool idea.

Maybe just try using a darker shade of which color your using i.e. a darker grey around the neck, under arms and give it a tiny wash with some matte varnish so it has a little shine to it.

...just a suggestion.

there\'s one mini I found with the effect I think...

it\'s pretty close and looks like I\'d just have to do washes but there\'s one scratch sculpted mini that was a prime example. It was of a character from the Gaunt\'s Ghosts series by black library publications and was at a GD in Spain I believe but I can\'t find it ???

What colour is the fabric? Light material or thicker? Back, chest or underarms?

Experiments are important, just don\'t do it on the mini that\'s going well Test colours and application methods on a painted bit of scrap plastic, or another mini you\'ll strip later.
