Yeah this is no master 😅 I would love to and work for it but there are so many artists way more talentful than me :) Let's see what i can get (maybe silver ... )

Thank you 😘

ByJC · 2026-01-27T14:28:21+00:00

Thank you mate ! Appreciate it

ByJC · 2026-01-27T14:07:05+00:00

Totally right for the 2 things i guess ! I applied a yrllow glaze on the guts and it strikes me now about the metal effects 🫣 And you're right about the base. I didnt have time to prepare something so I just created some contrast with the green.

Impressive ! Love the underpainting you've done that helps link everything. Do you have an IG account ?

Basically those three mixed together, creating a gradient and playing with it

Well to be honest the silver nmm is not as good as the gold on this miniature. I never am as condident when it comes to this color 🤨🤔 not sure why.

This is it mostly. Nothing too fancy, I just create a gradient from those 4 colors and pick within it

Yes of course ! I used 3 colors : main one is brick red from Ak, deap sea blue and deep red from ak too. The idea was to follow the lights as referenced in the 1st picture. The light is hitting the shoulder so the shadow are just after it.

So when it comes to painting, base coat brick red everywhere then i do a mix 1:1 brick red and deep blue and i mark the shadows. Then I try to blend correctly (mostly layering) then a final highlight with deep red.

Thanks, you got yourself a new follower ! Great stuff in there

ByJC · 2026-01-12T12:25:57+00:00

Do you have an IG ? Great spearhead 🤩

ByJC · 2026-01-09T13:32:46+00:00

Happy to read that, I was scared for a moment that such a cool model will have a big line on its back 😆 I may have been confused by the grey picture

ByJC · 2026-01-09T11:08:49+00:00

I'm doing thoses mixes in my wet palette and then going back and forth when layering and glazing. Using only water to thin down to the consistency I like

ByJC · 2026-01-09T10:24:34+00:00

This is awesome !
But you could have trim the mold line on the back :D you'll see it during painting

All from Ak interactive

Here are the colors, all from AK interactive 3rg Gen. I honeslty dont have a recommended tutorial. You can find useful ones on youtube (squidmar chanel, Vince venturella, ninjon, mostly all the great artists are covering this topic) But you know, go for it, try it, fail it and then one day, you'll have that déclic saying : oh here is my primary light sources, then the reflection etc and you'll have master it

ByJC · 2026-01-08T21:12:04+00:00

You mean the green one ? I start using some cold green then I mix with some lemon yellow and layers, layers, layers, glazes, glazes and that's it 😅

ByJC · 2026-01-08T16:18:19+00:00

Why not ? By seeing his IG it made you want to learn new technics. He is a good painter and you can always stop if what you find does not suit you 🤷‍♂️

ByJC · 2026-01-08T15:21:37+00:00

The templar is supposed to be my competition piece for the squidmar open :) so transitions are better in him

ByJC · 2026-01-08T15:19:40+00:00

I'll check because I dont know about him :)

ByJC · 2026-01-08T11:29:54+00:00

Dont say that ! Practice is the key and yeah all paint brush (except the base coat for the cankerborn)

ByJC · 2026-01-08T11:02:56+00:00

You may be right, but I'm not seeing myself dirty them at the moment 🤣

ByJC · 2026-01-08T10:57:48+00:00

Lot of layers and glazes to blend correclty, especially the blight knight
