For someone who claims not to be very good at NMM, I'd never have known it. This is a real tour de force for you, sir, and as i like working in 75 mm scale myself? I'll be referring to this one for inspiration in the future, for sure. And hey, is that Sam Witwer AKA Darth Maul as one of your patrons?! Man knows great art when he sees it!

I'm looking forward to trying out the B&W blocking for NMM. I struggle quite a bit with NMM and hope this tip will help my brain figure it out.

Hello Mark, it is phantastic! Thank You and I hope you will make another 75mm sculpt in future It can be your new series. I know why I´m your patreon 😁 I have a question? Isn´t it faster to make glazing ( different color tonality) as Sergio Calovo with airbrush? It is probably more effective and faster in such scale. Try it next time for us please 😉

I thought my NMM was getting alright, but you've given me a lot to think about. I can never understand where to put the smaller/more subtle reflections and shadows, only ever focusing on the big details.
@Sorastro Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Some painters approach NMM in quite an analytical way, whilst some work very intuitively. I'm still finding my way really, but I'm somewhere in-between I guess. I can tell you that I find looking at (and taking) photos of actual metal/armour etc helps get a feel for the kinds of shapes we see formed by the shadows, reflections etc.. 😀
