DMAgamus Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Hey all, DMAgamus here. I like trying new things, and looking at this mini I imagined lots of gleaming metal. So rather that start easy, I jumped face first into trying NMM, knowing the first attempts will be very, very bad (spoilers, they are). But the fun part of trying something for the first time is that you aren't likely to get much worse, so screw it: Aina, fist NMM metal attempt. Not the last, but I can see myself sticking with the ease of honed steel and black wash lol. I can't guarantee I won;t give up halfway through, but even some minor attempts will teach me something. Alright, this is as far as I got tonight. Rough, but most things are when you're learning them I suppose.

DMAgamus Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Couldn't sleep, just working through this piece by piece. Trying to figure stuff out. Whenever I get frustrated I paint something else, like the face and try again afterwards. Edited February 5, 2016 by DMAgamus 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinh Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 keep at it. From what I have seen on NMM WIP's is that it does not look good until the end and then BAM! it pops! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDizzO Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Off to a good start! I was just watching a video on Youtube by painting Buddha about nmm. Looks very tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvervane Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 keep at it. From what I have seen on NMM WIP's is that it does not look good until the end and then BAM! it pops! This has been my own personal experience with NMM as well. Good luck with the NMM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Getting the smaller bits right can be tougher in a way. Starting with a vertical sword blade was a great choice. The blending and placement looks good, judging by your work on the blade you'll be just fine painting nmm after some practice. Depending on your brush control, you'll want to add some edge highlights to the blade to really pop it out a bit more. Very good start!
