Loved watching your video. I'm just getting started with the hobby, so this has been super helpful. Question for you: I'm wanting to do something similar to what you did here with the sylvaneth dryad, but I want to do a wargrove of woe coloration (birch bark color with purple glowing highlights). Have any recommedations for the colors I should use?

@JollyLark 6 ай бұрын

You can definitely swap the color of the glow, just by using similar brightness of a different color. I'm not aware of a purple contrast that is quite as bright as Tesseract Glow. Vallejo's Express paint "Gloomy Violet" is probably what I would try first. It's a vibrant purple that isn't too dark. You may have trouble getting a "glow" effect on something as light-colored as birch bark. Generally, you want a glowing area to be the brighter parts of the mini - so for the glow effect to work, it needs to be lighter/brighter than the surface it is "shining" on, if that makes sense? Trying to do a colored glow on a light surface often results in it looking more like the light surface has been stained, painted, or dipped in something. Hopefully that's helpful - always happy to try to answer questions!

@JollyLark 8 ай бұрын

I think it would work OK, but the tesseract glow is a really neat paint that combines some of the qualities of a fluorescent paint with a contrast paint. It's pretty transparent, to it doesn't tint the "wood" portions of the mini as much as a contrast paint would. It's also looks "brighter" than any of the other contrast paints, even the yellows (at least to my eye).

@JollyLark Жыл бұрын

Red is tricky; since it can start to look pink. If that's what you're going for, cool. But it makes getting a nice, bright red glow harder. From the GW range, I would try Baal Red, diluted with contrast medium. Scale 75 makes a "Fluor Red" that's pretty good. It takes a little getting used to, because it has a thicker texture but you could apply that over the white glow and then spread it out. It doesn't flow into the cracks the way the contrast paints do.

The key is to have your glow colors all be lighter than your bark colors. Red may not show up as well, which is why I would stick to the lighter fire colors.

Very nice scheme and paint job, I'm borrowing this for my Sylvaneth! One question: on the weapon blades you first use Warp Lightning Green, then after the white "NMM" you say you "go back to the same pot of Hexwraith Flame". You're not using Warp Lightning again (WL first, white, then WL again), but actually switching up the color on top of the white?

@JollyLark 5 ай бұрын

That's right - it makes the white highlights a lighter green than using Warp Lightning. Hexwraith Flame is very thin to start with, so you can use it right out of the pot. Using diluted Warp Lightning could also work, but I liked the contrast between the greens. Using undiluted Warp Lightning would probably cover the white highlights too much.

I'm not specifically familiar with that Army Painter color but, looking at pictures, it seems like it would work. For the gray, you're looking for a warm gray - even just mixing a tiny bit of brown into a neutral gray would work too. Something like Dawnstone, but with just a really little bit of brown mixed in. Death Korps Drab might looks good too, maybe lightened up with a bit of bone mixed in. This is a pretty flexible technique though and the exact colors matter less than the overall tone.

Maybe try swapping her head for a more tree-like head (I've always thought it was odd that their goddess didn't look more tree-y). For the beetle, it really depends on how you're painting your other bugs. I did a dark blue & white zenithal, then went over that with a bright blue contrast paint.
