I think I want to do NMM steel/silver for the armor/ corset thing. Main question I have though is where to put the highlights for something like that. It’s kind of a cylinder so I imagine some kind of line going diagonally maybe? I’m a novice at NMM and the positioning of stuff on armor like this is always the most intimidating part.
Alternatively, am I reading it wrong as to what it fundamentally is and I should do some sort of leather armor or something like that?
Thanks!

I'm sort of a newbie on the hobby but I'm an artist and I watched some videos with tips for nmm
Usually they get the mini with black primer under the light you're painting with and then they take photos of it
And where the light is shinning on the black in those photos, is where you put the highlights
I suggest watching Vince vinturela's video on nmm
I think he paints a skaven from Age of Sigmar

I would approach it like this https://www.instagram.com/p/CX3WbwXAi7k/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
You're right in assuming it's mostly a cylinder, but as it widens it will distort the reflections a bit

It's all just midtones @glass chasm you need darker darks and light lights

Ok thanks! I’ll try not to be afraid of the contrast 😉
