Initially I was interested in object source lighting, then thanks to Hamish Glenn, he introduced me to the term 'Chiaroscuro'. So I did some research and it's exactly the kind of effect I want to achieve.

For me - the main different between chiaroscuro and OSL is that you have the element of light (chiaro) and shadow (scuro). For the implementation of this technique on 25mm minis, I painted the details first, then spray the highlight and shadow in order.

The concept is to use as little color and emphasize on the balancing of the contrast between light and dark while retaining considerable amount of detail. For me, it's against
the nature of miniature painting to apply the chiaroscuro technique completely since this is miniature painting and there are details to be painted - so I had to compromise a bit.

I'm still doing more research about this as I see it as a way to develop my artistic identity.
At the end of the day, I think everyone wants their works to be unique and different from others.

Hope you guys like it

Cheers
Fasai

  • good stuff

  • Looks cool but im confused, wheres the light coming from that would be good to see.

  • I definitely looks better on the genestealers than on the marines. It's nice and well painted, I just think the marines "lose" more from it than they gain.

  • the effect was done perfectly, im sure. I, however, don't like the final result. It looks like you covered the beautiful red armor...not sure what it is, it just doesn't complement the model IMO. great skills nonetheless.

  • oh god i love it ! i love it i love it i love it love it love it love it love it looooooove iiiiiiit ! marry me ! thank you god i feel in love ! *heart attack, facing all those beauty*

  • Chiaroscuro is a weird style for warhammer, I like it and hate it at the same time. But it does look quite a bity like the Codex depicts them.

  • @nuclealosaur lol!

  • Now that just baaadddddass.
