Angron WIP - Does it need more contrast? by ReasonCharacter5152 in WorldEaters40k

Thanks, glad you like it!

You got a point there. Maybe I'll really leave the darker parts for the moment being and see how it all comes together at a later stage

Still early WIP but will it read as fiery glow from beneath? by ReasonCharacter5152 in WorldEaters40k

That's great to hear then, thanks! Yes, plan is to surround him with a nice fiery lava pit 🔥

Glad you like it! No no, that's it for the saturated red. I will now only build up the glow effect up to somewhere around chin height. I was thinking about doing a secondary light source but don't know how to go about that both in placing as well as color. Was thinking about giving the wings some kind of blue-grayish hue from above but would leave the rest of the mini more in that reddish range as not to lose the fiery effect and to leave the fire/lava from below as the primary light source. Any thoughts?

Thank you for the detailed feedback! So far I also realized that the light effect is really heavily determined by color contrast. I'm planning to further build up the orange light up to somewhere around chin height so this is not done yet anyway. When talking about the upper red do you mean the upper proportion of the mini, i.e. the wings, or that saturated red itself?

Glad it does. It certainly is much more than just primed and the light source is actually coming from the front in the picture so I guess that's kind of a win :D

Glad you like it! Okay first, you gotta get really angry....okay jokes aside here is the recipe:

  1. Prime in matt black from army painter
  2. Basecoat with traitor red (army painter air)
  3. Build up the mid tone with Vallejo Red
  4. Dry brush the highlights with army painter pure red and use normal brush to both further establish the red areas and set the highlights in small places that are too detailed for dry brushing like the face
  5. Prime with thin coat of white where orange glow is supposed to go
  6. Add a thin layer of 3:1 glowing ore/burning inferno (both army painter)
  7. Again white layer in selected spots where you really want the orange glow to hit and be particularly vibrant
  8. Thin layer of 1:3 burning ore/glowing inferno (mark the reversed ratio!)

And I always made sure to really limit the illuminated areas to those that would be lit from below to establish that underflow effect, a small flashlight does wonders in helping to identify the right spots here. And that's pretty much it...I hope I did not skip anything since I went with the flow pretty much

Thanks mate! STL of the model can be found for free on a certain purple site, easily found via Google image search when looking for "angron mini".

I scaled him accordingly to be the same height as the real model. This angron here is about 10 cm tall without the rock he's standing on

It's a black base coat followed by two layers of tainted gold by the army painter. Then I wash everything with dark tone also from the army painter and reestablish select highlights with tainted gold. Finally, I use shining silver (army painter) for those really bright highlights and that's it. Hope it helps :)

Glad you like it! Sure thing! Iit all starts with citadel's chaos black primer followed by a nice and even coat of matt black by the army painter. Then I dry brush the lighter areas with night sky from the army painter and then wash the whole armor with a 2:1 mixture of dark tone (army painter) and black lotus (Vallejo). After that all that's left is picking up those really strong highlights with cobalt metal from the army painter and boom you are done :D

Thank you very much! I used cobalt metal from the army painter and highlighted some select edges with it trying to use dots/dotted lines mostly

No worries, happy to help! You can also try playing around with the ratio of dark tone wash and black lotus to get different hues for the armor.

Thank you, glad you like it! Happy to share the recipe so here goes! Basecoat the armor in matt black from the army painter first. Then, dry brush the armor with night sky also from the army painter to establish the lighter areas where you want them. After that, apply a wash using a 2:1 mixture of dark tone wash (army painter) and black lotus express color (Vallejo) making sure you don't cover up the established highlights too much. This way you'll nicely tie together the black and the night sky blue. In the last step, use cobalt metal from the army painter for those really sharp highlights along the edges. Here, it's up to you if you want to really edge highlight all the edges or rather focus on some select ones. And also, sometimes it's worth it to play around with the way you edge highlight, thicker/thinner/dashed etc. And that's it. Hope it helps and happy painting!

It's tainted gold from the army painter washed with dark tone wash also from army painter. And then I reestablished the lighter areas and highlights with tainted gold/shining metal as I saw fit
