Glowing eye technique

Well not too much painting done this week, due to real life commitments (my job is very job at the moment :( )

I did, however, manage to pick up some glaze medium and some retarder medium, which has enabled me to start trying out glazing and wet blending to a much greater extent than I have been able to previously. I have tried a combination of these techniques to go for a glowing eyes effect on Brother Onmio:

Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I am quite pleased with it for a first go. Pleased enough to be looking back at the tactical squad and thinking they'd look pretty boss with some glowing eyes too! What do you think and any tips for improving in using this technique?

  1. Hard to see the effect from the pics, did you have your macro setting on as the head is out of focus in each pic.
    Perhaps as the pics are so close in you were using your camera's zoom? If so this will be the reason as the zoom negates the effect of the macro setting.
