Purple Smoke

1. First I primed with Colour Forge Matt Black . then basecoat with a thin layer of Black to ensure a uniform colour.
2. Drybrush the smoke with Naggaroth Night , stopping short of the tips of the smoke tendrils.
3. Drybrush the same area, but lighter, using Genestealer Purple . The aim is to just hit the edges.
4. Selectively highlight edges with 2:1 Genestealer Purple and White .
5. Enhance the previous steps highlights with a smaller amount of 1:2 Genestealer Purple and White .

Ethereal Skin, Hair and Smoke

1. If the Black basecoat needs tidying up, do this now, bit hopefully you have managed to avoid it.
2. Drybrush the skin, hair and the tips of the smoke using Stegadon Scale Green .
3. Now drybrush the same area, but a little lighter, using Sotek Green .
4. Highlight with 2:1 Sotek Green and Ice Yellow . In areas that you want to be brighter, consider making them chunkier or glazing in the highlights.
5. Highlight more selectively with 1:2 Sotek Green and Ice Yellow .
6. Now apply very small/specular highlights of pure Ice Yellow .
7. Place a few specular highlights of White , where needed. I kept these to the points, the brightest point of the face and the hood.
