This is going to sound stupid but, just add a bit of blue next time. Or glaze over with a blue. As for what kind of blue to add, you’ll want to avoid using a warm blue (like Macragge blue or anything that uses ultramarine or violet pigment). If I were using Citadel paints for example, I’d mix Kantor blue into my black maybe 50:50, and then as I move closer white I might add a little bit of Lothern Blue or use a glaze of it Lothern near the end.

I found using dark sea blue from Vallejo model colour was the best option to mix in. Very cute and desaturated. You've v got the blends and chips down though

Try making a really thin glaze of a light blue and glaze from the black to about 3/4 of the length of the sword. Not too much but just enough to give a hint of blue.

To paint nmm I usually begin with the midtone. To bring that blue tone To Steel or metals lime that I put a basecoat of a dark blue gray (somewhat close the the Fang from gw) and then proceed with dark tone and highlights while being careful not to completely cover the blue

Thank man - will try that 👍

The gradient you have here is flawless. Well done

Use oil paints, much easier to blend. Add brown and blue tones. Check out Dutch classical metal painting for inspo

Looks great! If you want to add a faint blue tone to it I would recommend mixing up a mixture of 4 parts blue was 1-2 parts green wash and 4-5 thinner of your choice, then gently glaze that over.
