Instead of doing traditional edge highlights, I just took all of those highlights and painted a speckled pattern on the leather. Each successive highlight I made smaller and brighter until I got the desired look. The initial speckling was pretty imprecise and then I used that to guide the final few highlights. Hopefully that helps a little. :)Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-88165598409330180372016-12-15T06:16:36.532-08:002016-12-15T06:16:36.532-08:00Great job.

The approach Bruticus took over at Ex Profundis for his Kingdom Death models was really clever and they turned out looking great. Good luck on yours. Great to hear you are going to take part in the mulitpart survivor challenge! The more the merrier!

The highlighting work on the skin, and the variation in the leather really kick it up a level. <br /><br />Having also got the Kickstarter box (which I need to review at some point) I agree about the multipart models. While I'm floored by Poots' vision and the sheer scale of the project the survivor kits are the weakest part of the game. I think I'll be taking my own slant on Ex Profundis' approach to the set and treating the included models more like game pieces, although I'm also going to have to step up to the challenge of creating my own multipart survivor.

Yeah, making models from the sprues being passed around will get harder and harder, although the sprues that were included in the boxed game had enough to make at least 24 models, so there is a lot of potential. If you own the game and would like to make something, feel free! Otherwise, the decision of where the sprues goes next is in the hands of whoever has them :)<br />Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-47948392338811466062016-02-04T11:45:31.248-08:002016-02-04T11:45:31.248-08:00Thanks for being willing to take part in the proje...Thanks for being willing to take part in the project, we look forward to seeing what you come up with!<br />Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-6602624093105913232016-02-04T11:44:53.440-08:002016-02-04T11:44:53.440-08:00Thanks!

The skintone actually looks fleshy, and the almost dappled effect on the lightest shade of leather looks remarkably accurate for a soft-tanned/brain-tanned leather.
