Like this a LOT, the simple glint on all the metal surfaces is very effective.

You are really good at highlight and shadow location placement! That's the toughest part of NMM to me right now. 

 

C&C.... he needs eyebrows

I cannot recall what this reminds me of, but you definitely nailed it. Great!

Formidable! Love the flowing cape, looks like silk or satin. How do you get that effect?

[VolksFest]

Truly fascinating! NMM is perfect and the satin look of the cape is uncanny. Well done!

Thanks!! I imagine him as a spoke person for a shampoo company in a fantasy realm.

I used gory red (09278) as base and a mix of gory red and black from Vallejo model colour as shadow. Highlights were gory red with white (reaper HD 29842). at this stage, things would look very pink.  I then glaze the whole thing with very thin layers of gory red and fresh blood (09279) to tie everything together and restore the redness.

Amazing work. I'm loving the blends for the red on the front; smooth and clean. For the back side, the reds could use some shading in those curves.

Very nice!  Love all that great NMM!

 

Don't be afraid to take the NMM up to Pure White (or very close), though for that extra glinty-ness!

Thanks for the advice. FYI, it was your red NMM vampire video that set me on the path of NMM.
