Painted up my Flyrant for the new edition! He’s kinda flat though because I can’t seem to figure out how to shade the white carapace without it looking horribly dirty. So I was thinking of giving him a glossy varnish to make him look shiny like some real life insects to compensate.
For white I usually paint some offwhite shade for the most part and then edge highlight with white. As you are now, you might try edgelining the recesses with a khaki to get a shaded but warm feeling.
Orange-red to orange highlights on the gun would be sick. Just saying.
I’ll definitely try that with the khaki! Maybe I’ll have better control than I did trying to use shades for depth. The orange to red highlights sounds good too, so I guess it has a little more to go before being done lol.
