Bit rough on the old feathering, a few places could do with a scratch or two to mask the colour change. Edge highlighting will be done once the other areas are bulked in.
I'm reasonably happy with him now. Reduce the photos down to postage stamp size and the light placement looks pretty good!
The non-metals are done (aside from one small horn near his tentacles and the shield emblem). Some sketchy blends, some awful fleshy tones, plenty to cover up with weathering and nurgle's rot.
Oh and I should mention I'm still holding off the edge highlights until the metals are blended in
Did you seal the base first? I hear that also helps prevent yellowing s the bicarb can pull colour up from the base, either way I think in this case a bit of dirty snow fits as it's well trodden
Yeah, everything's got a heavy coat of matte varnish over it. I knew bicarb could yellow, but I wouldn't have expected it to overnight. The bases have just had another coat of snow applied over the top regardless
I'm a bit late but the Nurgle armor really does look fantastic. Such smooth transitions. I've never liked Nurgle that much but you're making me second-guess that! In regards to snow, I've heard that kind of mixture yellows over time like others who have already chimed in. Have you tried any modeling solutions that are out there? I don't have any experience with them but I know there are products out there for snow and ice that might avoid the yellowing problem. I've often thought I want to do some snowy bases or terrain just because snowy stuff looks cool so I applaud your experimentation and look forward to seeing how it goes!
Could it be that the bicarbonate absorbed some of the pigments from the paint below it? I've never seen a yellowing problem going that fast... (I hadn't used snow on a base neither, so...)
Thanks a lot everyone! Pretty sure it's like Toy Story, where the wolves come alive when I'm out of the room and relieve themselves on the bases.
Maenas, the base is sealed pretty well so I doubt it's the pigment. Kuribo, I'll get round to trying crushed glass instead of bicarb at some point.
