Collins does the defence of Minas Tirith
Adding a bit of depth or interest
I broke out the airbrush and added two colours
nuln oil (translucent black) and Astra militarium (translucent dark green)
the idea was to add some shadows with the black, eg underneath the arches or in the corners of building which gives so rough defining lines. Also on the cobblestone floors adds an element of weathering to them.
secondly the green around the very bottom of the ruins to show algae growth coming up from dampness splash back during rain etc as the boards they’re on are going to be mud and green textures so it helps blend them in and make them look ‘not set on’. In the image above you can see the left has been greened but the right has not and just how much more natural or real the left one looks with that one different colour
