Back with part 3 of Lion El Jonson, we turn the model around to tend to the "cold" side of the miniature and create the temperature contrast that plays off the warm light illuminating the front. I will be covering 2 different materials in this tutorial, the cold side of the Gold NMM lion shoulder pauldron, and his red cape. The introduction mentions that watching both Part 1 and 2 of The Lion is very helpful as this video builds on those properties. As well you may want to head over to my blog post From the Desk - Changing Temperatures for a 5min read and a nice little primer to get a bigger picture of what I'm looking to achieve in the use of colour temperature.

As well if you open the video on Youtube, you have better access to the chapter jumps in the description :)
