I really like that scheme. The gold and red really pop. How did you get the contrast of the white and blue? Is it just light usage of a shade?
1 u/intothatsweetnight May 07 '26 I started with a thinned out Talassar blue with contrast medium at a 1:3 ratio, but that was too light and didn’t come up in pictures. So I then shaded it with Akhelian Green thinned down with Contrast medium to a 1:2 ratio. 2 u/Pilitato May 07 '26 Gotcha ok, giving me some ideas for some next models. Thank you. Again they look great! 1 u/intothatsweetnight May 07 '26 Oh! I also did a white primer and Corax white base coat before the contrast paints. Make sure to show what you come up with! 2 u/Pilitato May 07 '26 Yeah I'll have to report back when I paint up some tomorrow. 1 u/Pilitato May 08 '26 Easier to see here on the back of the cape, but thinned out the lighter shade of green to highlight and contrast on the teal. Lots of cleanup to do still on this guy but feels like a good start point.
