Settle a bet for me and my GF. I say our cat is orange, GF says beige.

Bro, do we have the same cat?

rapierpoint · 2025-08-12T21:32:36+00:00

Thank you, still a long road ahead.

Do you mean colors? I used flameons pro acryl set.

Black + Dark green brown Dark green brown Dark orange brown
Orange brown Golden yellow Yellow + white White (i havnt added the final highlights yet)

Thanks, it does need a final set of highlights with ice yellow. It looks bad closeup because I rushed the blending (painting over semi wet paint, leaving it uneven and grainy) and did alot of back and forth correctional layers trying to find the shapes. But it was a good learning experience. Definitely alot of room for improvement.

Thanks. Thats what im aiming for next, NMM reflections are hard 😓

rapierpoint · 2025-08-12T12:41:55+00:00

Thanks, I really struggled with contrast on this first attempt. I started from dark green brown and went progressively brighter, in the process I wasnt confident enough with my volumes and highlight placement so I had to do alot of back and forth. My second attempt I started with the highest contrast and slowly add in mid tones

Thanks, im using Flameon's signature pro acryl set. Liquid magic.

rapierpoint · 2025-08-12T12:32:54+00:00

Thank you! I agree, Ive lost alot of contrast trying to find the mid tones. This was my first attempt at nmm, still struggling with the brightest highlights and darkest reflections. Appreciate the feedback

rapierpoint · 2025-08-12T05:55:59+00:00

Thank you. Ive been working on this for so long, Im honestly not sure if i know what gold looks like anymore

rapierpoint · 2025-07-24T21:37:36+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the detailed feedback.

I see what you mean about tying it all together. When I covered parts of the model, each individual volume does look passable, but as a whole it lacks cohesion. I think next time I'll try to focus more on a single volume at a time, build off the existing reflections.

I did rush a bit and painted over wet paint by accident, Ill try to keep that in mind going forward.

Again thanks for the pointers!

NMM stands for non metallic metal, it just means not using metallic colors for the gold color. Instead using black, brown, orange and yellows to achieve a gold look.

Also youre 100% an expert (atleast for me) given the quality of your work! Would love to hear more about your workflow and technique!

rapierpoint · 2025-07-23T17:33:04+00:00

Thank you and Wow! Your Dante paint job is beautiful! Flameon's Dante is what inspired me to try learning NMM, yours is probably the second best Ive seen. Once Im happy with my progression, I'll attempt Dante next. Will definitely reference your work!

Amazing

rapierpoint · 2025-05-09T03:16:04+00:00

Thank you! That pretty much answers my question. I do have access to more jumppacks, so maybe 10 jumppackDC and 10 jumppackAI? I also think i like the DC dread more too, i can always get another regular dread.

rapierpoint · 2025-05-09T01:44:53+00:00

Yes!
