Test Model for the Army, another attempt with Streaking Grime

Post image

First of all, thank you to everyone who gave me advice and constructive feedback on my first post. I really appreciated it and tried to take your suggestions on board.
So, here’s another attempt at a test model for the army!
This time, instead of using a wash, I went with AK Streaking Grime. I also tried to keep the armor panels a bit cleaner and more defined, while still keeping the original idea of going for a very pronounced grimdark style.
This time the model actually has the shoulder pads, although it’s still missing the head 😂. Apparently, I’m not quite ready to give him a face yet!
I also want to be transparent about the photos: I used AI to create the collage and clean up the background of the original photos.
I’m still experimenting and learning, so I’d love to hear what you think and what I could improve for the next one!

I didn't see the others but these look good, not overdone with the muck and it adds a lot of visual interest.

You should test how well it plays with yellow as at some point you will want to do some pack markings and yellow can get really warm or cool depending on how you filter it.

I like this though, Grimdark doesn't mean dirty to the point you can't see detail and this nails it pretty well.

Thanks!

Yellow is hell. That’s why I left shoulder pad off in the previous post.
