A brown cloak with a natural fur color gradation

Fur Cloak

  1. Base or Prime fur with with Ivory
  2. Optional: Add some color variation to the fur by adding thinned Khaki to the center of the fur areas (not on the edges)
  3. Make a wash (4:1) of Reddish Flesh or Gorthor Brown or Dark Flesh (these colors are much more similar than the previews suggest). Or 2:1 Speedpaint Medium and either Gore-grunta Fur or Hardened Leather .

    Apply over the fur with a heavier application in the center of the fur cloak and lighter application near the edges.
  4. Thin 2:1 Wyldwood or Dark Wood with Speedpaint Medium or make a dark wash (4:1) from Rhinox Hide and paint a rough hourglass shape on the back of the cloak.

    This is because many animals tend to have lighter fur on the bellies than their backs and so hides often are darker in the center and lighter on the sides.
  5. Thin 2:1 Grim Black or Black Templar with Speedpaint Medium and apply to the center of the darker brown areas - try not to be to symmetrical & intentionally apply unevenly.
  6. Dry brush with Khaki or Flayed One Flesh or Eldar Flesh or Ogryn Camo
  7. apply matte varnish
