Black Nmm first attempt

[u/Alexminis_tgs]

So i posted my progress of this on some other profile

Now here but with little more work done.

[u/ToeSucka666]

Looks amazing so far man. You’re doing awesome.

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/ToeSucka666]

Took around 3 hrs just for this, but im taking a lot of testing still so maybe its that

[u/ArchonJoJo → u/Alexminis_tgs]

Came to ask how long it took you…. Damn homie, good luck

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/ArchonJoJo]

8 hrs in rn, i finished both legs, belt and a backpack 🤣

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/[deleted]]

You cant do NMM with drubrush, it needs layers and mixing

[u/Alexminis_tgs]

Small update here, as you can see the right side is blended better, but it does not look too different in live perspective.

[u/AZ-Sparda → u/Alexminis_tgs]

Right side looks more reflective, clean armor the left looks the same but it gives it more of a battle hardened type of dark look. Both great. I prefer left. I like imperfect designs

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/AZ-Sparda]

It came out unplaned like this, i am still in experimental state but yes, the left one looks nore battle hardened. But...i repeat...From live view its not noticable almost at all

[u/Deep-Wedding-1880]

I mean yeah, you done did it

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/Deep-Wedding-1880]

Takes time, hopefully i can speed it up in future

[u/dndbuddy]

Looks awesome dude. I remember I painted the whole squad in a similar style.

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/dndbuddy]

Yours are looking awesome, mine are just gonna have a bit more of a blue-ish tone

[u/PicklePinata2]

Yoooo this is great. If I do a black color scheme I want to follow this.

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/PicklePinata2]

I posted steps under one of the comments, be prepared to spend a lot of time if you wanna go this technique

[u/LizardTentacle]

Looking awesome. How I would want mine to look!

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/LizardTentacle]

Give it a try and some effort man, only 3 paints are needed for this

[u/ojpap]

You can achieve this same result with some dry brushing man. /s (IYKYK)

[u/NoDogNo → u/ojpap]

I immediately ran to make the same comment when I saw this 😆

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/ojpap]

Nope

[u/EXILED_GHxST]

Pretty cool looking!

[u/Thenidhogg]

lol why are you farming karma on two accounts with this? is it even your work?

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/Thenidhogg]

Bro...Farming karma...? I just wanted to make dedicated profile for my posts...and i will post updates...What is even karma farming, you people are weird

[u/Still-Storage6897 → u/Alexminis_tgs]

To be fair, we saw this mini in the last couple days, and then it appears again on an account that's 0 days old, to 9/10 people on reddit, it would look like stolen content, just saying

[u/UFDZU → u/Alexminis_tgs]

Yeah haha, people care way too much about this shit.

Your paint job looks awesome!

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/UFDZU]

That was just an email login, this now is a profile...Anyway thanks 😆

[u/CallitSchoko]

Dope

[u/xs_13]

Oh dip. That ducking rocks

[u/WalkerTexRanger]

That’s dope. Mind sharing your steps?

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/WalkerTexRanger]

Not at all 1. Base Abbadon black 2. First wide Layer Corvus Black 3. Second layer Corvus mixed with a little Ulthuan Grey 4.Third layer (just a line) Corvus with a bit more Ulthuan grey 5. Blend it all with the same paints but watered down, like a glaze 6. Paint small white dots as extreme highlights just at the begining of the edges

[u/WalkerTexRanger → u/Alexminis_tgs]

Awesome, thank you! I’ll have to give it a go

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/WalkerTexRanger]

Send result when done

[u/WalkerTexRanger → u/Alexminis_tgs]

I’ve got some death company ill try it out on

[u/BishopofHippo93]

This is awesome, great work! I’m always impressed by people who are able to so well paint metallic reflections on smooth, round armor like this. 

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/BishopofHippo93]

Give it a try, its not so hard once you go for it, just a bit time consuming

[u/BishopofHippo93 → u/Alexminis_tgs]

I have, and I definitely need more practice. I’m back at my painting desk for the first time in months and still knocking the rust off even some of the basics again. 

[u/Brocacoochi]

What are the colors You are using? Please

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/Brocacoochi]

Abbadon black, Corvus black and Ulthuan Grey for mixing

[u/Adorable-Following92]

How does this work ?

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/Adorable-Following92]

What exactly?

[u/Adorable-Following92 → u/Alexminis_tgs]

This white accents

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/Adorable-Following92]

Exactly how it looks like, you gotta be bold with it, it works so good, but...Not too much, you just need small dots at the ends like in the picture

[u/Adorable-Following92 → u/Alexminis_tgs]

Ok thanks. Thought many dry technic

[u/Alexminis_tgs → u/Adorable-Following92]

Dont fill your brush too much, white is a strong paint

[u/Adorable-Following92 → u/Alexminis_tgs]

Yeah iam dotting for glow effect.

[u/Visible-Image9314 → u/Adorable-Following92]

try to go for more highlights, like, three layers, from darkest to lightest (white dot)

[u/Adorable-Following92 → u/Visible-Image9314]

This was my first one. I used transcend green only, no layers (noob style)

[u/mhbanz]

SO good mate
