I also took some orange glaze and toned down some of the brighter underlyingyellows here and there, so that certain sections would stand out more, instead of everything being equallybright!

Seeing you break it down makes it so much easier to understand how itworks. What would be you biggest tip for people looking to learn NMM and how would you break that down?Reply

ReplieswappelliousMay 23, 2013 at 2:03 PMI think that I have a few different NMM breakdowns scattered around the blog. The most importantthings to consider is what the metal is reflecting, and having the right contrast.I have a Medieval armor book that I use as reference all the time.When you paint the metals, be sure to reflect sky colors on surfaces facing up, and the ground aswell, which means more browns, etc.Also, keep in mind that the metal might also reflect robes or other clothing the character might bewearing!Replycpyke May 23, 2013 at 2:23 PMWow, this looks incredible. That paint job looks great on that mini. This really makes me want to try paintingsomething like it. Nice work.ReplyReplieswappelliousMay 23, 2013 at 2:38 PMThanks for the kind words! This like this guy have their own set of challenges!ReplyScott May 23, 2013 at 9:54 PMGreat stuff, thanks for this heads up on painting fire.I'd like to see hat you would do with a Balrog.ReplyReplieswappelliousMay 24, 2013 at 1:46 AMMany thanks! Ironically, my wife painted a Balrog years ago with this same principle in mind. therewere no fluorescent paints back then, of course :-)ReplyRothand May 24, 2013 at 2:20 AMWOOOOW!
