hmm i noticed allotta dry brushing on the force field... did you try watering it down a bit? give it more of a light sheen?

looks good tho for a KFF :D ive seen some.... pretty... bad conversions.... this ones original :D

dry brushing is how I did it, no didn't think to water down the paint for the drybrush. This really was an experiment in how to texture colours, something I've not done before. I wanted to try make lots of textures of ice blue and white for a lightning effect on the wires.

I remember Midnight blue used to dry as a single coat as a lovely mix of shades and such. I think the word I'm looking for is gradients. Where you have one colour opposite another and they blend towards the middle.

yeah i know what you mean exactly actually, because i tried doing it with my rune priest's lightning claws.. heres what a pro painter told me:

-flat color first
-add dark wash for depth
-add watered down highlight for "light gradient"
-add second layer with less water mixture
-highlight with "white" color to give hot spots (in this case ice blue/white)

then if you want, you can add the "crackling" effects of stray bolts here and there for final touch ups, tho thats not required..

but yeah, try it out on something else.. he told me take some extra bits that have good texture to it (extra tank plate for example) and try those techniques on it.. but yeah.. :D goodluck and keep it up! :D

With the dark wash I'm assuming he meatn just waterdown the regular paint or did he mean use those new washes?

either the new washes or the older inks. :D
