So I finally tried some NMM on a fun mini from
Relic Knights, the
Iron Chef (part of the
Star Nebular Corsair faction). Perhaps a mini with a thin sword and more curved armor would have been a better choice, but it was time to try it. Also, this guy has a pretty limited palette, mainly grays and browns but there is the odd splash of color here and there. I have not worked with black or white before, so there were many challenges here.
My blending is not quite up to the job, but I think it's close. The pictures are little "posterized" - you can see the transitions pretty clearly. As everyone says, the mini is a little better in real life. I kept the white jacket a little grey, so that there was some room for the whites on the steel to pop.
He was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. On the whole, I am pretty pleased with the result.
I'm pleased with the shading on the fry pan and the leather knife scabbard on his back.
I'll call him Marmod Ramsay. His attacks are:
Back to Cerci Speed Circuit next ... or maybe some scenery for the game.
