Model of the Month: Autarch

THE SHORT VERSION

Steffan Jenkins builds saturated red Autarch armour through controlled recess shading, progressively brighter highlights and smoothing glazes. Rather than allowing added white to turn the surface pink, he restores its intensity with a final red glaze. The method preserves separation between the shaded base and brightest edges without losing the main colour.
