DON'T BE SHADY ~ A QUICK SHADING POST
SHADING
*****
Hey guys I thought I’d make myself post as I’ve had a lot of work on this week & hit a bit of a stumbling block with painting the bases on my sisters to match my test model. I’ll discuss that in the next one but in the meantime here’s a quick shading post where I go over the next step I took with my Sisters.
PAINT LIST
*****
• CONTRAST BLACK TEMPLAR
• CONTRAST MEDIUM
• CONTRAST FLESH TEARERS RED
CONTRAST BLACK TEMPLAR
*****
The first step I took with shading the model was using a 3:1 mix of Contrast Medium mixed with Black Templar Contrast & applying it to all of the metallics of the model. Including the bolt gun, corsetry, piping & all that good stuff. I absolutely love using Contrast in this method as it gives such a lovely grim dark muted matt feel.
CONTRAST FLESH TEARERS RED
*****
The next step was to add flesh tearers red into the recesses of the cloaks focusing greater weight to the deepest folds of material.
I TOLD YOU IT WAS A QUICK ONE

What a terrible update, but I promise there’s a big one to come discussing my approach to applying colours to the bases of my sisters. As I mentioned before, I hit a bit of a stumbling block figuring out how to paint them. But rejoice because I have just come out the other side & will return with an update of awesomeness very soon.
Much Love
