(I wrote this post a month ago, but it kept being pushed back for AdeptiCon coverage. I think I’ll take a day break here, to make sure he gets some love. :))
And this guy finishes my glazing thoughts for now. The white shown in the photos is just white primer. I took the Guilliman Blue and watered it down, and painted it very carefully again into the undersides and pits of the cloak. After I’d painted his paints and quiver, I did the same thing with the blue on them as well. At one point this model looked so strange – white and stark blue with very warm beige clothing, accessories and the trim on his cloak. I toned it down quite a bit by drybrushing white on the cloak, and using the blue glaze to bring those warm colours back down in temperature similar to the cloak.
Lastly, as you can see, my first attempts at using the Secret Weapon Crushed Glass bundle. This is very neat stuff! I did it in two layers, not because I had to, but because I underestimated what it would look like after the first layer. That layer looked very weak, more like slush everywhere. I went back again and used less of the Realistic Water in the mix (watch the video on how to use it) and it came out much more snow-like.
