Marbling Effect?


Fenrykus

Recommended Posts

I want to do a marble effect on my McFarlane intercessor, and I've seen one video where a woman achieves a close look by blowing bubbles in an ink-like solution onto a cup and then letting them dry. Does anyone else have any pointers or tips for how to achieve such a look?

If you have an airbrush, this is the best way to do it IMO.

There's a couple of different videos on youtube from many different painters. Here's just one of them:

This worked wonderfully for me, with the provisos that A: you only need a tiny bit of black clay for a great 'meandering' effect and B: you can't apply the clay to a plastic base before sticking it in the oven - you'll need resin bases if you want to do that.

I'm actually looking for methods to paint marble on armor, rather than for basing purposes. I'm going to paint my McFarlane Intercessor in my Chapter's colors, but I'm going to embellish him a bit, because why not?

 

That's not to say, however, that I won't use this in the future. :)
