The Poky Little Paladin

[GodOfCheese]

After thrice-plundering the rice pudding against the orders of his deity (and his code of conduct), the Poky Little Paladin went roly-poly, pell-mell, tumble-bumble down the alignment scale until he came to the fiendish end and stopped short.  "Dear me!", exclaimed his deity. "What a pity you're so evil! Now my forgiveness is all gone!" But the Poky Little Paladin snuck out later and dug a hole under the fence to find a new patron...

 

I attempted to do implied lighting on this guy, but the specular qualities of the metallic paint made this really hard because it was shiny under some light and transparent under others.  Is there a trick to doing this with metallic paint, or is the trick really "don't do metallic paint"?  :-)

To get the "implied lighting" effect you should look into shaded metallics or TMM (True Metallic Metal).  I don't really know much about it, but those search terms should help you out. 
 
To get you started, here's a Massive Voodoo tutorial I've seen linked around here before.
