Silvervane Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Put a wash down over the gun and back pack. Highlighted up the black areas, it is still causing me grief but I think it came out ok. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've tried doing a bit of NMM and TMM (True-Metallic Metals), liked TMM better, everyone has their own preferences though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvervane Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've tried doing a bit of NMM and TMM (True-Metallic Metals), liked TMM better, everyone has their own preferences though. I don't really have a preference, yet. I'm still learning how to do them both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 This hobby we are all always learning. Part of what makes it so much fun is pushing ourselves and getting better and better with every piece we put out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Melons Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Have you tried using orange to highlight the red? I think it would make it pop a bit more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvervane Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 This hobby we are all always learning. Part of what makes it so much fun is pushing ourselves and getting better and better with every piece we put out. I couldn't agree more. This forum with the help of the poster has definitely given me the push to stay with it to try the new idea. Have you tried using orange to highlight the red? I think it would make it pop a bit more. I did actually, It might be the angle of the photo or I just might have apply another thinned layer or 2 to bring it out more. Though now that I look at it I might do both with the next shot, thanks. I always tend to be timid with my highlighting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvervane Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Here is a shot from a slightly higher angle. Yes my camera skill need improvement, been trying out manual focus on a my point and shoot. Its on a tripod which has helped the movement blur. Now I just need to find a way to make the details crisper. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvervane Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Finally got Robyn's protective coating on and her dragon companion on her base. Eye is still wonkey, I decided to move on. Here is a photo of them. Now it is time to add the greenery. Touched up the highlights on the red of my power suit and I agree Mr. Melons it definitely helped, photo's to come later. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 She looks good! Don't worry about the eye, I'm sure blown up like this it's a tad noticeable, but in hand you probably can't even tell. BTW Silver - It's time you get an avatar picture! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvervane Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Sigh, I guess it's hard to stay anonymous since I've let my WIP go this long. I get to something tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvervane Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Ok took lots of photos. Here Is a scale shot of Robyn next to Tsuko to give those who have painted him an idea of how small her dragon on her wrist is. And here is a shot of what I managed to paint up today on the powersuit. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
