Soul Grinder 4: OSL

I've always wanted to try OSL (Object Source Lighting). The technique involves painting from a single or multiple light source to replicate a "glowing effect." The easiest way to find the light source is aim a spot light at your object to see the natural highlights and shadows and mimic the effect.


Since Washing the model I started with a watered down Ultra Marines blue followed by a very light dry brush of the same color. From this point I'll start adding finer details using ice blue and mixing up to a little skull white.


The Sword effect is borrowed from the GW version. I was originally going to paint it a green glow, but I'll save that for the nurgle stuff. The blue effect ties in with the model's eyes and sword's hilt blue glow.
