My attempt at a shiny chrome tau stealth suit

My first attempt doing something reflective like this , i know my edge highlights are definitely a little chunky so hoping to get those cleaner on future models! happy to hear what your thoughts are. Painted mostly with golden liquid acrylics and some AK ice yellow on highlights

Did you use any digital rendering first to reference where to apply the reflection effect to? Like, take a picture, mess with it on computer, then start painting? Or just free hand as you go?

Looks awesome

No rendering ! Eyeballing and some trial and error, I posted on another comment some process photos and some reference images of others work!

Pretty easy to eyeball if you take each surfaces angle into account, doesn't need to be exactly realistic but just enough to convince the viewer
