’Eavy Metal Masterclass: Crystal Blades
February 2017·pp. 130–132
THE SHORT VERSION
Aidan Daly builds an alternating pattern of light and shadow on the Visarch’s sword using feathered translucent mixtures. Repeated passes deepen the darks and brighten the lights, a green glaze restores saturation, and crisp edges and consistent tiny chips finally define the solid blade within the reflective effect.
