beowulf54 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I've been painting a while but just started checking things out online. I love the look of the NMM. Do use any metalics or what. How is it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laralu510 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Check a little bit back in the postings on this board (back to march I believe). I know this topic was covered a few times since then, and that a lot of great advice was given..lots and lots of great advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunnyPuncher Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Yeah.. every "show-off" post has the letters "NMM" in their somewhere... I'd just go through the tips & tricks subjects if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelcore Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 In myexperience, Beowulf54, NMM is best achieved by observation and then experimentation. There are several posts on this forum alone with recipies of the colors alot of painters here use for NMM. These websites also helped me a bit, as far as observation goes. http://www.confrontation.fr/index_htm.html http://www.wegotgame.net/jen/main.html Those were the big ones that got me to try NMM. The ugly truth of the matter is- Someone can tell you how to do NMM until they're blue in the face. Ultimately, however, it comes down to you experimenting with your own technique, until you get it "right". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenova Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 what exactly is it you want to know? BTW, I hope I can update the site with new colour mixes and maybe even step-by-step pics soon... Step-by-step pics are a real pain though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizard Hlavaz Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 How is it done? Find a mid-sized brick or cement wall.... Bash head against repeatedly. . . . . . . . Or simply search this site and the English Confrontation Forums for "NMM". You'll find loads of advice. Loads and Loads and Loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Wolfe Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hrmm I was gonna say get a full frontal lobotomy but I guess a wall works just as well Whiz. well the only USEFUL suggestions I can give is to pick a time with low stress levels when ya have a LOT of patience to work on it. (if ya have kids give em to the grandparents for a month or so or you'll give up out of frustration in a day or two) Oh, and when ya start working on it don't give up, practice, practice, practice.

beowulf54 Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hey thanks every body. I've checked out a few sites. It looks cool. As for stress levels? There are no "low" stress times. I manage an apartment complex. Do maintence 8 hours a day. And work a full time job. My wife takes 19 units a quarter at CSUB. And the worst part is my daughters 2 1/2. But hey thats what makes life interesting. It would be to boring with nothing to do all day. Again thanks for the tips everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwyn1st Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 How is it done? Find a mid-sized brick or cement wall.... Bash head against repeatedly. . . . . . . . Or simply search this site and the English Confrontation Forums for "NMM". You'll find loads of advice. Loads and Loads and Loads. One of the best topic series on the English Confrontation Board is called "Ark's Painting Tips". The thread is getting a little old now, but if you find it there is some great stuff. I also compiled the colors Thierry suggests into a single list. Go to my website at: http://wolfbar.servemp3.com/cerridwyn1st/ and click on Thierry's Paint Chart. There is a link 3/4 of the way down the page to a visual example Thierry did of how he paints NMM. http://www3.sympatico.ca/jleblanc012/etape-nmm.jpg His advice helped me finally "get" the basics of NMM. Hope this helps. I was really furstrated trying to paint NMM. I'm still a long way from doing anything besides small gold baubles and fairly simple swords. It seems to me that one of my big problems with trying to do NMM was tackling it before my brush skills were up to snuff. If you get terribly frustrated with it now, take a break. Practice blending and layering a bit more, then go back to it. You may find it comes much easier with practice in techniques that require similar skills. You might try painting gems the Citadel way of doing it, then do gold jewelry, then try a fairly simple sword. Also helps if you have a friend (real life or online) that can critique your work and let you know what you're doing right or wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
