First showcase: two Stormcasts in progress
Two Stormcast Eternals photographed mid-process, with notes on where the edge highlights went wrong and what I'll do differently next time.
The gold is built up in three layers, and it still looks flat. The problem isn’t the colour, but that the edge highlight runs all the way around the edge instead of only where the light would actually hit.
Gold armour in three layers
Applied thickly in three layers, until the primer is fully covered.
Sinks into the recesses and gives the plates depth.
This is where it goes wrong: the edge highlight runs all the way around the edge instead of only where the light would hit.
The cloak went better. Here’s the recipe for the blue, where the edge highlight is a very thin line instead of following the whole edge.
Blue cloak and cloth
Two light layers, the last one only on the top surfaces of the folds.
A very thin line as edge highlight, unlike the gold's mistake above.
