I really like the colors, they pop nicely!

Thanks! The lizard guy is finished, just using the metal armor bits and the sword to learn NMM now.

Yeah the NMM looks great too! I still haven't figured out how to do that well.

It's a difficult technique for sure, thanks for the compliment! I'm trying to emulate a video by Juan Hidalgo.

Yup, that's the one! I didn't have his exact paints but I tried to match the colors.

Looks pretty good from where I'm sitting

Awesome paint job!

As for the NMM it definitely reads as metal. You didn't go as bright with the highlights as you could. The way it is currently painted it looks more like a darker steel of dulled metal that way. You could go up to almost lure white on the brightest spots to make it more shiny if you wanted. Overall amazing first try!

Thank you very much, I appreciate the feedback! I did actually use titanium white but I guess I didn't build it up quite enough. I also tried a blue filter (dirty blue water) on top to make it look like it was tinted by the sky a little, and I think that took away from the white a little bit too.

I'll keep that in mind when I do the other side of the sword and maybe I'll tweak this side too. I'll go back and add some pure white to the brightest highlights.

Comments and critique is often shortened to 'c&c' but because the Lemmy (or maybe just sync for lemmy) title is incorrectly coded, the ampersand gets encoded before it gets stored, but not decoded before it gets shown on the front-end. That's why I used 'and' over ampersand.

well, for 3d printing, i guess you know now...

yey for my reading comprehension.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's just a misunderstanding, don't sweat it. C and C isn't a commonly used phrasing for C&C so it's harder to make the connection between those 2 than between CNC and C and C.

It’s just a misunderstanding

hence why i'm calling out my own reading comprehension!
