thanks for your feedback.
I agree with most of you, that last weeks results weren't really convincing. But I decided not to give up, and gave it another try.
I mixed up a new set of greys, and applied them to the test mini.
Then I gave it two hefty washes of Badab Black...
...this was a lot more convincing.
So I applied the new greys to the other girls.
Then a wash of Gryphonne Sepia for the skin and gold areas.
A wash of Badab Black for all other areas.
And a second Badab Black for the reds and "black" - actually a dark grey.
And if you compare it to the "standard color" mini on the left, I really like the difference.
Then some Devlan Mud for the skin and leather tones.
Once dried I set them in front of the base...
almost invisible :)
Yesterday evening I began to highlight the golds.
It's really difficult to highlight gold, and still keep it de-saturated.
But I think I've found the proper balance of grey and yellow.
I think I'll leave the gold as it is,
and see how it all looks with the rest of the highlights.
So it is VERY different, but I think it will be worth the effort...at least I hope so.
If it comes together as I hope, it will be very sinister and dark looking, and hopefully I can squeeze in some OSL for the Sisters Power Sword, maybe some lights on the Bolters ect. to give it some extra highlights....
HOPEFULLY :)
Let me know what you think,
Cheers
Klaus
