Whelp end is in sight for all my painting. Got the terrain peices done and just need to try and clean up the edges of the sigil on my display board. Though I gotta put a question to the more experienced painters here. Do you guys think an edge highlight of moot green (main color is warpstone glow) would work or would it be too garish against the black background?

a crisp edge highlight normally makes something pop off of a black background... i'd give it a try

You can also try doing it only on one side ie every outside left edge. It will give the illusion of depth/height.

Tried it along all the edges, it worked but freehand painting is most definitively not my thing. Teach me to bit off more then I can easily chew.

A good cheat is to use painters tape š. I bet it felt good though.

Well it's just about 48 hours until dice roll. Anyone else got some finishing touches to share?

A good cheat is to use painters tape š. I bet it felt good though. Honestly my main problem is consistently producing the straight fine line for the highlight. I've been using one of my drybrushes since the stiffer bristles help when painting the edge of something (which is where highlights tend to go). When everything's on a flat plane the paint and brush are somewhat less cooperative.

Honestly, A great trick I've used before to highlight a very straight edge is to put painters tape onto an old ruler, and use that as a guide for the brush. It's a two-hand operation and requires steady hands, but I've found it helps a lot when I'm trying to get a perfectly straight line for a design
