Day 1 - Yellow Mellow Eldar~

Posted 12-25-2007 at 05:47 PM by Ikarus



So I was bored on XMAS day, I bought these eldar stuff for myself, well I have about 2k pts worth sitting in boxes but I might as well start small you know? Basically I am going to Iyanden scheme as I love the yellow and blue. This is my 2nd time painting yellow so.. dont expect much things pro.





Here is my guardian platform





So I found a guide online on how to paint yellow. First you start with watered down golden yellow, but I love Vallejo instead so I am going to use that~

Then I simply applied yellow to the stuff I wanted to be yellow`





Then I began to do a ink mix using:
2 :: 1 :: 1
Yellow :: Red :: Brown inks

then applied it to the cracks~

Then after I just started using sunburst yellow then bad moon yellow then white highlight to get what I wanted.





After showing a few people, and getting some weird faces, I see that my highlighting isn't exactly the best. But who knows... this is my 2nd try on yellow... so lets see what happenes tommorow...

'a few people' ha?

I`ll restate by advice, try to even out the yellow, then go for other things, and use a special ink pen of the red lines.

Advice number two: bring holiday themed mini

Advice number three: patience is a virtue, hard work another, talent trumps them both

i don't see anything wrong with the highlighting, aside from some rather thick paint on the white *turns the hearing aid on the throne up a notch or two* thin yur damn paints!!! i'll keep saying it till y'all learn!

other than that it all looks good to my eye

not too bad. seems a bit cloudy to me, though could be a LOT worse with yellow and white involved
