Zhorphorus Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hi all, I've been wanting to do a "Whiter Gold" colour scheme to mirror Tyrael from Diablo for a while now Luckily, Chris Clayton did a similar scheme for golden demon - not been able to see any blog / twitter posts from him on how he did it so anyone have any ideas on how I can achieve this scheme? Much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordeus Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 You know its weird, I knew a guy who bought one of those cheap gold spray paints from a hardware store. It gave a similar overly golden look to his models. Though this winning a Golden Demon probably implies a bit more work than that. I'm guessing here he spent a lot of time actually doing a true metallic technique for the gold. Either way I agree his gold is insanely good and intriguing.

TheOtherJosh Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 It looks like a move to bright silver with dark shadows and with limited yellow glazing . (Very very very thin yellow) At least thats what I might try if I was attempting to replicate it. Perhaps using a gold metallic Glaze. Or the golden griffin drypaint over silver?

Zhorphorus Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 I heard he put tiny gold flakes in the paint - not sure if that's what's making the goldish colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangDoll Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 On his Facebook page : "My main intention was to provide a juxtaposition between the elaborate armour and the sinuous, feathered beast. I wanted the riders to be clad in a rich antique gold armour and experimented with many, many different paint finishes in order to find just the right look. Unfortunately most metallic paints, especially gold, are quite grainy and I desired a highly polished metallic surface. After an exhaustive period of ‘R&D’ I created a hybrid lacquer based ‘buffable’ paint that I added various quantities of 22ct gold gilders powder to. This gave me all the advantages of a super smooth quick drying lacquer and the superb metallic properties of a buffable paint. With the addition of the 22ct gold, when the paint was finally burnished, the bright gold reflective surface was revealed. I could then work back over the armour with various inks to bring out the edges and tiny details and also modulate the surfaces of the armour panels and give them a little more definition and depth. Inks were also used to create the anodised blue pauldrons and as a spot colour on other anodised decorative elements of the armour." https://www.facebook.com/chrisclaytonideefixe/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
