Valkyrion Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Weird title, but I'm after something a bit like Diablo from Diablo 3 when (s)he takes you into the shadow realm http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130509220761/powerlisting/images/6/6a/Diablo_phase2.jpg I've seen loads of ways of painting ghostly effects using light colours with a green wash, but I kinda want the negative of that. I don't know if would translate to a model because the bits you'd normally highlight the most (feet, spikes, hands etc) are actually the darkest part. Any help would be super. It's for a potential daemon project - so if anyone can offer any ideas then any advice on what to do with weapons and armour would be great too. I want them to look as incorporeal as possible so I have no idea whether to paint metal bits metal or just have it as extensions of the flesh and so on. Cheers!

Master Commander Ajax Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 What model/models are you planning on painting? Also, did you see the Warhammer TVs tip of the day from Thursday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Khorne and Tzeentch mainly. I want a ghostly, ethereal feel to them that isn't white + green wash but don't just look plain and dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I've been after a similar technique for a long time, but have yet to see it. Lots of people seem to advocate grays washed with many layers of nuln oil, but it still looks grey to me. I think someone did a decent Be'lakor, I'll see if I can find it. Blacks just don't show a lot of detail on minis, but that I'm convinced that can be used to great effect. Just don't know how... :P Good paint job, but you can see what I mean about grey: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gNRPfcJofkQ/VGYTBOc0F6I/AAAAAAAAHRc/9hyyG4gH6GU/s1600/DSCF8774.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Valkyrion, do you want the purple glow at the joints/beneath the skin. I have some ideas, but I won't bore you with them if they aren't what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
