Gold:

Under coated with 1:1 Green Liner:Highland Moss.  Then Dragon Bronze, highlighted with Cursed Gold.

 

Went with “scroll case” here.  It could still be a brass flute…

Scale Color Heavy Metal.

Looks good! Hard to tell from the photos; do you think pre-shading the armour made a difference?

[Darcstaar]

Not as much as I had hoped.  It is still going to require putting down some shade/wash and highlight.

[Darcstaar]

Wash of dilute Nuln Oil and Drakenhof Nightshade.

I use the same trick with the underlying colour.

You should apply the metal in thin layers to let it shine through a bit for the best effect.

 

But it looks good to me.

Need to keep an eye on this!

I want to do something similar with my kobolds, though I was thinking more neutral toned with red, orange, and dark grey.

Excellent job.  I love how vibrant and painterly your style is.

[Darcstaar]

Thanks for the advice, Wolf.

Thanks for the enthusiasm Moonglowminis.

 

 

Glazes of Agrax Earthshade and Reikland Fleshshade.  Bases got an undercoat of 1:1 Carbon Grey:Shadowed Stone.  Plan to add some thinned Scale75 Heavy Metal, then Speed Metal for highlights.

[Darcstaar]

Ok.  Reapplied thinned metallics.  Thinned with Scale Color Glaze Medium.  That helped a lot with the usual streakiness.  I still ran into some white haze the longer the paint was on my brush or on the wet palette, despite Re-mixing.  But it’s a lot less noticeable than prior attempts at thinning metallics.

I really really love that skin colour!
