Apparently, I am not very good at preshading. I spent about three hours going over these cloaks with a wash, dark brown in the recesses, and white on the raised areas. I then went back over the cloak with the original color but unfortunately this destroyed most of the previous work. There is a little bit of additional definition to the cloaks but not as much as I would like after the amount of time I put into them. You live you learn right? If I add an additional five members to the squad later I'll see if I can come up with a better system for the pre-shading.
As you can see from these two photos there is a little bit more definition, which I think is nice, but I think there also might need to be some additional covers on the cloaks since they are supposed to be camouflage. What do you think? Should I make them actually look like camouflage?
Below you can see that I repainted the helmets and they look a lot better. One thing I have learned from the many test models I have done is that you should always try to redo exactly how you painted it before. I like the color on the helmets below a lot and think they'll look good on many models and also with the white painted on them. That will have to wait until the next post!
