I feel kind of weird posting this after not replying to one of your message for around 3 or 4 months now, I am sorry I just don't know what to say. Anyway I hope that you are in good health when this reaches you; keep up the good work!

Alepap [2015-05-10 22:06:40 +0000 UTC]

Nice concept! I like the colors and details on the metal. Did you use overlay/color layer and then normal layer for the coloring?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

FirstKeeper In reply to Alepap [2015-05-11 04:00:20 +0000 UTC]

Β I put base colors on Multiply or Softlight or both, after that it's just Normal layer painting with some occasional Overlay layers for light pass and Color Dodge for highlights at the end.

I did not know that its Hungarian coins, good to know I put them here for real metal color tints references.

No, they are not Hungarian coins, just the crown depicted on them, it closely resembles our crown upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…

For painting I would recommend to do quick colors Β studies from photos on top of reading some info on classic color theory.
