Painting the KD:M Pinup Architect
Detailing, Part One
The cloak clasps were painted using the same colours and techniques on the helmet, the only difference being that the highlights and shadows change depending on their orientation.
Also, in the end I glazed the lowermost boot portion using my new Scurvy Green. It was close enough to the colours used on the upper boot portions that it didn’t look out of place, while also being distinct enough to emphasize the difference between the two parts.
The panties, glove, and sock tops were highlighted using Citadel’s Altdorf Guard Blue and Lothern Blue. There’s also the tiniest bit of Drakenhof Nightshade on the lower portions of the socks and glove.
I also tried something completely new to me: making the metal helmet looks as though it were reflecting the green of the cloak. This was my first experiment – I gradually grew braver and increased the number and intensity of highlights.
