Ok, so the popular response all around to my original Fallen One was that he lacked the bluish shine the comic version has. So, I came up with an idea and spent a week figuring out how to make it work exactly how I wanted. I painted him with a glossy black, then put a clear blue over it. 5 coats later, it finally starts to show. Applied a gloss seal and it faded away. So, I went back to flat black. One pretty heavy coat of clear blue over that with a gloss seal and perfect. It shines and it has like a blue wash over it that shines beautifully when held into the light. I took a closeup shot to try and get it to show more. Definite improvement.

not bad..
almost all the pictures I see when I google him he looks more blue. this effect would be created by painting the entire figure dark blue or black and (dry brushing) a blue over it or..painting the figure blue and painting dark blue or black in cracks. |

Ah, yeah, I thought about drybrushing the blue, but I didn't wanna overpower it with the color. But, you're right, in most of the images he does look blue with the black just being shadows. And then almost every custom I've seen has him pure black. I didn't think about that though. But I like how he came out. It doesn't come through well in the pictures, but if you hold him up to the light he has a shine that almost matches the image I put up. Black with a shiny blue over it.
