Adam Perfect : MinisUsing a custom kitbash Yndrasta is the best place to try NMM for the first time, right?
Right?
😬
Getting to the scary bit now: adding highlights for the NMM effect.
Who knows how this is gonna turn out! I’ve chosen such a complex model for a first attempt, but I’ve gone far enough that I’ll give it a good go.

As somewhat expected, I hit the wall of it looking like I've totally messed the effect up last night.
Not sure whether to push on in the hope/belief it'll all come together in the end, or start again.
Leaning towards starting fresh...

NinjaDebuggerYou look like you're in the middle of the process, exactly as you should. It looks like ass, but trust the process. You will get there.
NMM is by far the worst for this sort of thing. You are absolutely going to think you are doing it wrong until you get to the end and the illusion snaps into place. After a few runs through, you'll recognize "this is the right kind of ass to look like at this point."
@NinjaDebugger @erikcats thanks both. This is where I’d got to last night and I’m trying to figure out if it’s the desaturation making it look wrong or that I’ve gone too bright in too large an area (or both, or something else entirely!)
Darren McGuicken@minis @NinjaDebugger @erikcats I don’t think I’ve been particularly successful in any of my own NMM, but for what it’s worth: you could try sketching in an extreme step even brighter in a highlight, and go a shade darker right next to it. A big jump in value without a blend can help point towards the eventual illusion.
Says he hasn't been successful in NMM, after having posted _this_ bullshit.

C'mon, son.
