Eldar Guardian skin.

After looking at the new Eldar Craftworld guardian schemes on the GW website i started messing around trying to copy it.

I have started sorting out the colour layers but they still look a little boring, do the Eldar use any icons or litanies or any sorts of markings on their armour.

None I know of, as the Eldar are normally about being sleek and stylish. Litanies just aren't their thing.

I've already made a Codex Craftworld Eldar skin a while ago, but looking at that page GW have brought in some slightly different schemes (like Il-Kaithe) that wouldn't quite fit it. Typical

Oh well, have fun working on the Eldar your BT skin should be up shortly

This is just something i'm working on for myself and a friend really, have to say that seeing the Guardians without that horrid trim effect that the vanilla skins have is a treat.

My friend wondered if it's possible to give the armour a gloss effect, how would i go about that using PS6. I don't think he means specular, still not certain what that means, just polished. I thought maybe the dirt layer could be thined out a little so they look just grimmy.

Surely gloss is specularity, just to a lesser extent? Gloss paints are the shiny ones, so other than specularity the only other thing I can think of is making the colour layers smoother. Some bits of it look a little blocky and pixelated. If you managed to smooth that out to a more steady gradient then it might look more glossy

If you want to release it once you're done, I'm sure there'll be lots of people who'd prefer a Codex style skin
