Copper NMM Orb - Skaven Plague Monk
🕑 Added 2023-08-28 14:41:55 +0000 UTCHi fellow Wizards and Necromancers!
In this tutorial we will continue painting the beautiful Plague Monk model from the new Skabikk Plaguepack – I will show you I’ve painted the Copper NMM Orb on this miniature. Explanation on layer and glaze consistency is in the end (below). A PDF version of this tutorial is also available for your convenience - it is attached below. Let’s get into the tutorial!
1. We will start with a layer consistency basecoat of the orb with Rhinox Hide. 1-2 coats of paint will be enough.
2. We will follow that with a layer consistency highlight with a 1:1 ix of Rhinox Hide and Cadian Fleshtone. We will focus on the middle areas and side, creating contrast by having “quick” jumps between shadows and highlights. This is key to achieve convincing NMM.
3. We will follow the previous set of highlights with a glaze consistency coat of a 1:2 mix of Rhinox Hide and Cadian Fleshtone. Remember to always make every following highlights smaller than the previous one, so the previous color is still visible on the sides on the new highlight. This will allow you to achieve a smooth transition between the colors.
4. Use glaze consistency Cadian Fleshtone to create the next set of highlights.
5. Use a glaze consistency 2:1 mix of Cadian Fleshtone and Ushabti bone for the next highlight. These transitions in color are very subtle, but are definitely worth it.
6. Use a glaze consistency 1:1 mix of Kislev Flesh and Ushabti Bone, to push the highlights further.
7. In the final step, we will use layer consistency 1:3 mix of Cadian Fleshtone and Ushabti bone to edge highlight all the sharp edges on the orb. This will push the contrast even further and make the NMM Copper pop.
And here is a collage of the steps 2-7 for convenience:
Thank you very much for supporting me – it means the world to me! I dream of being able to paint and make tutorials full time, so if you like my Patreon – please tell your friends about it. It would make a massive difference to me and hopefully it will be beneficial for your friends too :)
*Layer consistently = paint mixed in a 1:1 ratio with water.
*Glaze consistently = paint mixed in a 1:3 ratio with water.
Best wishes,
