Default Painting Tutorial: Necron NIGHT BRINGER in Flip flop

This Tute has been compiled and moved from a previous post/thread:
Allright fellas *and ladies*
Im sure youve all seen the pics of the NB i got sent to re-do:


Sure, it may not look too bad here, but in person it's crap.

Ready?
'ere we go!


Step 1: He's in love witha stripper
*Go west young man, and buy in quality*
Tried goo gone, but alas; with 30 coats of varnish it just didnt do it. This did tho!


This stuff cost @$4 US, worked in 20 min, bottled it for re-use. *I highly recommend it!

Step 2: Hot Flashes... Cold Feet

*sorry no pic*
Dropped poor C'tan in boiling kettle for @1 min.. then into Ice water.
Any guesses why?
AAH-SO Grasshopper, that's right;
easy way to break Super-glue off *and out*

Step 3: Chisel me timbers... err... limbs
*no in process pic*
Use an xacto *carefully* and drill, pliers, small chisel, file...
to pry, chip, and remove surplus SG
Heres the parts: *torso still attached at this point*


Step 4: Bondage "Chains and WIPs are a Ghouls best friends!!"
Now I RE-ASSEMBLE all of the parts

Step 5: Mind the gap!
Whew... forgot how bad this mini was cast!
Lookit all the stuff that has to be GSed...
*the origional was filled w/ SG*

Shoulders/Pits
Torso/Crotch
Hole in arm from original pin *or sin*


Step 6: Its easy doin green.... *screw you Kermit!!*

Well now... Ive been asked before to detail the steps..
SO HERE!

1: Getchur toolz

2: Pull = amounts of putty

3: Mix to consistant color
*dont copy my fingerprints... trust me; You DONT want em!*

4: Time to make the sausage.
roll out a thin line.

5: Stuff yur sausage
Put it where the sun shouldnt shine and use your toolz to press it in.

6: Smooooooth!
Use your tools to smooth out the GS and add texture if needed.
Dont worry if its a little scrappy, you should go back when its completely set to file anyway.



Too many pics for one post!
Will be Continued!!!

[center]Added some melted insulation foam *origionally used for flames* to back of scythe to give it a swinging accent.
Wasnt enough tho...
Added GS to it.

Some pics of the Primed NB.
Used Black spray, touched up w/ black AB paint.
ALLRIGHTY THEN!!

First I dryburshed all skin w/ boltgun and re-touched black..... then decided black needed to be grey... as such:


Then broke out the ol airbrush for the FF treatment... unfortunatly the silver was covered.... this color is slightly less see thru than the green of the deciever.

BTW: Camera is crappy; so Ive inculded a pic of what the FF looks like.

Almost done:
I used boltgun metal to pick out the skin details, then highlighted raised edges w/ mithril silver.
did the eyes w/ "scorpion green" followed w/ Snot green and after looking at it, decided to use the same combo on the raised edges of skin as light reflection from the scythe;

THE SCYTHE:
1 coated the entire blade and "swing effect" in DA green
2 leaving Da in the center of the blade, used DA+scorpion 2:1
3 leaving just abit of previous showing used DA+Scorpion 1:1
4 "the same" DA+ Scorpion 2:1
And so on lightning each coat to get eventual desired shading...*remember: its not necessary to blend on the model if you do a huge number of shades and make the layers thin (in consistancy and width)*

the effect:
started w/ DA and used the same mix as the "blade shade" to drybrush
put the final color on by highlighting raised edges

FINALLY FOR AWSOME STANDOUT COLOR:
put some water effect on them *be sure to blot it on... if you brush it, the paint will pull with it!

made sure to Drybrush some of the same on the cloak where the light would reflect.


heres a better pic w/ scythe detail:
