Fresh from slumber and ready to shine. |
Mostly working keeping me busy, but managed to finish the basic copper armour of this little Necron. Some of it I'm happy with, some I'm not. Nothing wrong with that because I learned quite a lot in the process.
Starting with areas that worked: the hands, the right foot, the pelvis worked ok, the left arm is mostly ok as well. Most of this has something in common: the brightest edge highlights are next to the darkest colour used, giving extreme contrast and the impression of reflection.
The areas that didn't work so well: the chest, legs, and the back carapace was a bit hit & miss. The colours blend together very well, no problems there, but how to apply the contrasting lines needs a lot of practice. I don't really have a feel for it on larger surfaces yet.
I'll continue with some extras on the endoskeleton, possibly using more of a teal colour. I definitely don't want it to stand out too much against the copper, so I might keep it to a darker tone. I'm undecided about the weapon.
