I wasn't 100% convinced this time around. I'm not sure it looks like a glow and more like yellow discs.
With that doubt in mind I added a little more orange inside the creases of the discs.
I think this is more what I was after, it's less defined as an object but I think more realistc as a source of lighting.
I also applied the same effect to the plasma coils in the Teleport homers. Obviously I did them completely differntly to how I did Plasma coils on my weponry but nevermind.
I'm less convinced of the beacon lights but I'm hoping Tamiya Clear Red X-27 may lift them up. The OSL works, it's just the lights themselves that look a bit flat.
Nearly there though and then I can tick them off. Still no idea how to number them, there realy isn't space to put a numeral and even then it'd look slapped on after adding the SFX now :(
The question is do I go with the yellow/orange glow as above [when there's already yellow on the chevrons so it may look confusing] or, do I go with the green glow I did on my Epic Reaver titan?
What do you think? I'm not even sure if this was the final iteration of the orange plasma, maybe that's it, less yellow/white moar orange.
I'd give inverse highlights a try. Often with a light scource expecially when the object is hother the deep recesses are the brightest as the heat and light is comming from within.
ReplyDeleteI think this might work on the knight, bit of a gamble but I'll try and give it a go, thanks.

ReplyDeleteYou could always number around the edge of the bases. Not ideal, but wouldn't mess up the nice paint job on the markers themselves.
ReplyDeleteThanks, that was my thought but it means putting a number of the round the base so you can see them from different angles...
DeleteNumbers on the bases sir. They look very good.
ReplyDeleteTha or make some more so the sizes/shape help differentiate the numbers ie. the smallest homer is one the taller homer is two, I've an ammo crate I need to paint up that could be 4, the Force Shields could be 3? Or maybe they're just unmarked for Eternal War missions, remember them?!
DeleteVery nice - +1 for identifiers on the bases
ReplyDeletePS I love the glowing eyes on your Reaver. Masterfully done and VERY effective
