Hey all, I need a bit of advanced technique painting advice.
I am painting up some of the new Eldar Fire Prisms, and decided I wanted to try some lighting effects in the scheme - have some of the parts be "lit up" and try to show a natural reflected shine on the rest of the model to support the impression.
What I would like is some advice on how to go about painting the "shine" on near-by surfaces.
Specificlly, I am painting the "pipes" on the inside of the wings as if they were lit with blue-white light. I need a reflected glow off of all the nearby LOS panels. I am using a dark armor tone, with a bone undercarriage on the tank, and can't figure out quite how to do the reflection effects off the other colors to make it look natural.
I'm hoping to get a lead on a technique(s) to make this work.
Any advice for me?
