Mergoth Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Score! How did you do the glowing effect on the runes? Playing about with glowing is on my to do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 It was actually pretty easy. Water down some white to an ink then I hit the spot where the runes would be - with brush strokes going away from the center. Keep doing that leaving more and more of the edges (just like when doing OSL) making the center almost white. Then paint the runes on with a dark color. Highlight them, but don't go to the edges, leave a bit of the line of darker color all around - I only did a dark/medium/lite for the runes - there wasn't room for any more. The hardest part was leaving the darker edges, it takes a steady hand. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution Black Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Holy .....!! They are some phenomenal paintjobs! I mean, I am always very impressed by your work, but these seem to be another level! I think its down to the choice of colours and the attention to every detail! Looking forward to more!

dgraz Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 thanks for the comments. When I'm doing a complete crew, I usually wait to do the leader until the end. I don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halflingspy Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 These are absolutely fantastic - How did you get the characters on their robes so well, and where do you get those bases? Did you make them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks a lot. I mentioned something about the characters earlier in the thread. It's really just a small brush and a very steady hand. It does take some practice, when I first started painting I wouldn't even attempt something like that. As for the bases, yes I made them. They are bamboo skewers and string. I stained the skewers and string with some watered down paints then painted the lines on them. I cut them with a pair of dykes partially through then broke them so they would have the jagged edges. I glued them all down then cut and placed the small pieces of string. It was a bit time consuming but I made them all at the same time so I got quicker as I went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Shikome. Experimented a little with the wing designs. I'm happy with the effect. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
