Hello dear viewers!

Today I have a PDF Painting Guide for Din Djarin from Atomic Mass Games’ Star Wars: Legion to share with you:

I wasn’t actually scheduled to produce a video for Mando – and he is mostly quite straight forward to paint, but for the None-Metallic-Metal treatment of the Beskar armour I felt that a video might help some people overcome the fear or challenge of creating this kind of effect, so I’ve made a video covering just the armour if you’re interested:

This is a NMM look that I began playing around with back when I painted Ultron, and it’s one of those effects that – like making pancakes – where the first attempt may not be that great, but has to be done in order for us to learn and improve for the next time.

For the Beskar armour I was a lot more cautious with the saturation of the blues, and more controlled with my levels (brightness); you’ll notice in the video that the initial base tone I used for the sky reflections wasn’t too bright, which gives those glinting highlights a chance to really sing!

It’s also one of those effects where we can actually get away with being a little sketchy in places; it’s all about achieving a pleasing balance of tones and levels rather than total accuracy and neatness.

I hope you enjoy the guide, and have a great 2023!

Happy Painting!

Sorastro.

PS I’d like to thank my kind patrons on Patreon for funding these guides, and I’d also like to share an affiliate link to the Rosemary & Co Series 8 and Series 33 brushes that I love to use (sizes 1 or 2 – “Short handle”), and here’s an affiliate link to Element Games where I buy most of my other hobby supplies.  Thank you!
