OK, well I took a day or so off and I have been working a bit - and reading a lot. I am not fully convinced it has turned out quite how I wanted, but I'm not sure. It does give a sort of glowy look, though I'm not fully convinced about the back of the - skull, weapon blade and haft. Live and learn I suppose. Just the eyes left, then onto the base. =D
As you can see, the skull and weapon as I mentioned don't quite look right to me. I think perhaps if I had done more, thinner washes/glazes it might well have worked better. But it's not too bad. The cloak itself isn't too bad I think. What do you all say?
Kerinst - I'm in no rush. I paint when I find the time or inclination. You'll just have to be patient until then. =P
Leech - NMM = Non Metal Metal; ie using 'normal' paints to create the look of metallics (grey for silver, brown and yellow for gold etc) But thanks for the advice on rust. I did look at a tutorial on CMON a while back about rust, yet it seemed to go in one ear and out the next. I guess I'll just have to practice a bit more with it. =D
