One of the smaller (and cuter) models from the 'Brutally Devious Shadow Mania' team. I'll paint anything even vaguely Cthulhu looking.
Purple Skin
- Basecoat with 3:1 Warpfiend Grey and Genestealer Purple .
- Shade recesses using Druchii Violet . Rather than doing an all over wash, use a thin brush and run it into recesses, or shade via glazing.
- Apply general highlights with Warpfiend Grey . This is very similar to the basecoat, so be quite generous.
- Apply fine highlights with Slaanesh Grey .
- Mix your Slaanesh Grey 1:1 with White . use this mix to selectively highlight corners and curves.
- Finish with specular White highlights, where appropriate.
Fleshy Tentacles
- Basecoat with Screamer Pink .
- Wash the tentacle with Druchii Violet . Don't let it pool too much.
- With a 1:1 mix of Screamer Pink and Pink Horror Horror cover most of the flesh with a thick glaze. Pulling paint towards the centre always. Paint everything just outside of recesses where the dried shade has dried.
- Paint a smaller area with pure Pink Horror . Use the same technique as above to ensure a smooth transition. This time go over around two thirds of the area, painting higher to simulate where light would hit and adding the illusion of depth below.
- With a 1:1 mix of Pink Horror and Kislev Flesh flesh paint an even smaller area, pulling even closer to the centre and higher.
- With pure Kislev Flesh paint a very small area. For some tentacles I add this highlight as multiple small lines to add texture.
- Optionally, add dot highlights of Flayed One Flesh to the points of tentacles and the centre of the previous steps highlights.
Yellow Eyes
- Basecoat with Jokaero Orange .
- Highlight with Flash Gitz Yellow .
- Finish with a dot of Ice Yellow .
Black Cloth/Leather
- Basecoat with Black .
- Apply chunky highlights and glazes with Stegadon Scale Green .
- Now highlight again, with Thunderhawk Blue .
- Selectively highlight with Fenrisian Grey .
- Finish with very small/specular highlights of Blue Horror . In select places, a specular highlight of White works well too, but don't do it all over.
White Trim
- Basecoat with a 1:1 mix of Celestra Grey and White .
- If needed, shade with some thin Administratum Grey .
- Enhance the shading with Dawnstone in very select places.
- Highlight with White .
