Hi Folks!
Im partially done with my bloodknight but now struggle how to Highlight that red metal. Its silver, with different contrast paints airbrushed on and then an oil wash.
Maybe inks+metal Mix?

I would probably glaze in shadows as opposed to adding highlights from here

#

It's kinda hard to get a good looking highlight with reflective paints, and the more non-metallic stuff you apply, the more matte it's going to look

#

You could go with what you said earlier, mixing a highlight color with gradual amounts of metallic, I just personally haven't had much luck trying to treat metallics like regular paints that way
