Kind words guys. Thank you very much.
Blues, I think your do yourself a disservice. Your painting is excellent and I absolutely love the finish that you have achieved on these Necrons. The silvers are excellent, as are the golds. The green details are so neat and smooth. Just really brilliant work.
How did you do the Scythe? Was it dry Brushing? Air brush? Blending? Whatever t is, it looks stunning.
Great work!
Hey Looshkin, thanks for the kind words. The Scythe was done in dark angels green, then I applied nuln oil in several coats to darken it up to almost a black-green. I then started with snot green and medium, pulling the colour from the edge of the areas I wanted it focused in toward the dinner side of the blade, this was then covered with scorpion green closer to the edge to really build the color. It's subtle, but I definitely like it. Sometimes airbrush glow can be too intense.

The key to a nice green is snot green base coat, camoshade wash and then several very very thin layers of bright green. The last layer almost water, that's how thin it is so that it just glosses over and has seamless edges like a brush never even touched it. Like a drop of water hit it, expanded and covered it like glass. Then I hit it with a gloss varnish, like the orb for example and that makes it look almost like glass.
