Cryx battlegroup part 2

I made some progress with my Cryx battlegroup. This time I added the OSL (object source lighting) effects with Badger Krome airbrush. This effect turned out to be surprisingly neat. It's easy to mess up and overdo. The trick is to add white with an airbrush very lightly where you want the glow to hit, then layer some thinned down color or ink on top using an airbrush and lastly wash it. If you use oil wash, you can blend it very easily using mineral spririts and a brush. The green really pops out in the end. Simple yet effective.


Added white for the glow base














Airbrushed the glow with Vallejo fluo green and yellow














Made the oil wash using Monestial green and mineral spirits














Washed

















Not sure what next. Maybe I will highlight the metal edges a bit. Perhaps I will add some fluo yellow in the middle of the glow to make the glow more bright in the right places. To be continued...

Legion Of Everblight minis

Yay, finally got some time to take photos of the start of my other army, the Legion. It's my summer vacation and it seems to be hard to motivate myself to actually get some painting done. These were awesome to paint, but it feels that my painting consists trial and error most of the time. First when I started these, they came out way too blue. I had to repaint the skin to make it whiter, closer to the studio theme. The chitin parts shine like crazy because I covered them with gloss varnish. Not sure if it was such a great idea when it comes to taking photos, but on the table it looks pretty good. Not a huge fan of the shredder sculpts and they required huge amount of cleaning. I found myself slacking with them a bit. Madrak and Lylyth are almost ready, will post photos of those soon.
