Glowy Eye tutby ~The-Nezumi

Artisan Crafts / Miniatures / Fantasy

READ THIS TOO!!!

It's taken a while to get around to but it's finally here.
It makes sense to me,but I've never done a tut before.So if you're feeling a bit lost,be free to give me a shout.

Basically for the Gradient at C.The light is striking the raised edge.So it's brightest there and goes down at a gradient until it blends to the colour of the helmet.

Also this might be usefull for gradients:

Great!
I had some success using sharpie pens (that ones made for writing in CDs) too, bad that my camera sucks at close range macro shots

Thanks,that's quite an idea too,might be able to use that for painting faces.Thanks

Yap, they are thinner than the brushes and fit better between parts... but require a steady hand or your miniature will get a "scar"

This is very helpful, thank you!

~The-Nezumi Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

You're most welcome,glad I could help.

Are you aware, that a glow spreads as rays, not as bubble? So the eyes can never shine on the "upper lid" of the helmet. And the plamsa accelerator cannot shine on the casing of the weapon.

Nice turorial tough. I will try that.

~precinctomega Nov 20, 2012

It is a good tutorial and, actually, a glow can spread somewhat beyond the straight line thanks to reflection from the cheeks below the eye. However, broadly you're dead right. The glow is good but shouldn't extend so far up above the eye.

~Grombald Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

You're right, light can be "bent" around edges. Anyway, that would barelly be visible at day, as that are eyes, not floodlights.

~The-Nezumi Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Day?! what is this HERESY,it's the Grim darkness of the far future...there is only grimm darkness!
But thanks though,the pointers are useful;Will help me improve.
