Marble Armor Castellan


Cruor Vault

Recommended Posts

I needed a break from painting my millionth Ultramarine so I decided to paint up one of the knights cluttering up my cabinet.  I wanted to try a new technique out so I opted to do some marble armor.

Fantastic work!

Has this something to do with spraying through a torn-fibre tissue method? (not sure if name it correctly)

 

 

Yes, enquiring minds would like to know how this was done. :smile.:

 

I'm guessing the cotton wool strands technique?

 

 

Slightly stretched out dryer sheets.

 

Total time to do the marble was maybe 90 minutes, counting the learning process as I had never tried it before.

The 100% finished result.   Crushed glass and water effects for snow and some dead grass to break up the base a little.

This is the closest I have to a tutorial.  Found it trolling through Reddit I think?

Was it the marble drop pod? There's also a good one using steel wool.

 

 

Actually I hadn't seen either of those.  The Drop Pod is pretty close to what I was originally imagining when I set out on this project.

This guys tutorial is pretty good.

 

I really think you should use some pigment dust instead of washes/inks. The ultra flat dust will really bring out the polished marble. I think the silver trim next to the green is taking away from the great effect of your nice marble/granite look. Maybe an aged gold/polished bronze would bring it out more.

Theres no pigment dust needed.  just a little black wash for outlining the silver.  

 

Silver is better because then I am not adding any warm tones to the model, keeping with the limited pallet cool tones I chose.

Well always go with your plan. Things may look different in person. From pictures I think the silver is too bright and similar to tones in the marble. That and the seemingly gloss black lining from wash steal away the detail from the green. Which looks really awesome in that close up. For real try a light brown pigment dust. .if you dont like it, it literally wipes away with spit and napkin. I recently started using all these tools and techniques scale modelers use and I'm surprised how easy and effective they are
