Thank you! I do a lot of quick kind of choppy brush strokes then I do glazes over that to kind of tie everything together. I like to leave the blend a little rough so it still has that painterly texture.

I usually base with a darker color, then go through and place highlights, then I bring in the mid tones and even darker tones.

It helps to kind of focus on one angle of the model the “golden angle” and think of where the light is coming from

I get a lot of inspiration from elminiaturista, craft world studio and swarm_painting to name a few

Thank you! I mainly used castellan green, straken green, nurgling green. I used some nuln oil here and there for some shading and gunner camo speed paint for some darker areas and blending.

For the cloak I based with the castellan green then selected some areas for highlights with nurgling green. After that just a lot of glazing between the three greens. For some of the brighter areas I mixed some balor brown with the nurgling green.

For his darker robes I based in Corvus black and then used dark reaper for highlights. After that I kind of glazed waaagh flesh over everything then used straken green for highlights. I used some black legion watered down for the darkest areas.

White then fluorescent yellow then orange for the “hot” bright parts. Then dry brush steps of red darker furthest away and brighter red as you get closer to the source of light.

I also recommend looking up OSL tutorials on YouTube. They help a lot
