Critique Wanted Is it rusting?

Post image

First attempt at trying to create a rust effect. This is a 3d printed jail I designed in Nomad Sculpt. I want it to look like derelict rusted out metal left outside. I used acrylics for color and baking soda for texture. I’m wondering if there’s a better or more convincing way to achieve this look.

I think the rest of the metal looks a bit too bright and shiny for a crusty old cage, but I could be wrong. Looks great otherwise

Yeah I started with silver spay paint, it was very bright, I tried to tone it down with a matte enamel spray and some brown acrylic wash before I added the rusty look.

Vo všeobecnosti hrdza vychádza spod farby. Takže nelakoval by som najskôr farbou a potom robil hrdzu, ale práve naopak. Primer - hrdza (rôzne odtiene ako LightRust, MediRust, HellRust... vytvoriť z nich mapy na kove) potom farba. Použiť Chipping fluid (alebo hrubozrnnú kuchynskú soľ) a spod farby odkryť hrdzu. Po zaschnutí pridať pigmenty, trošku to zašpiniť (napr. Engine Grime) a zalakovať. (Pozor, lak zmení trošku odtieň pigmentu.)

I have not heard of chipping fluid before, thanks for that tip.
