Skin
- Basecoat with 2:1 Cadian Fleshtone and Mournfang Brown .
- Increase the amount of Mournfang Brown in the above mix and shade the skin.
- Mix the base colour 2:1 with Ushabti Bone and add chunky highlights.
- Increase the amount of Ushabti Bone in the above mix, so it is about 1:2 now. use this for finer highlights.
- Mix in a little White and selectively highlight.
- Increase the amount of White in the mix, until it is a subtle off-white. Now pick out a few specular highlights.
When it came to the shaved portion in the centre of his head, I highlighted as normal, then mixed a little Dawnstone into the initial highlight colour. With this mix, glaze the section then highlight if needed. This should add a subtle grey.
Yellow Cloth
- Basecoat with Balor Brown .
- Mix Balor Brown 1:1 with Mournfang Brown and use this to shade folds.
- With pure Mournfang Brown , further define highlights. try to stick to fine lines and use this to separate sleeves from the body, plus where the cloth meets other materials.
- Add chunky highlights of Averland Sunset .
- Apply fine highlights using a 1:1 mix of Averland Sunset and Ice Yellow .
- Selectively highlight with pue Ice Yellow .
- Finish with specular White highlights.
Orange Cloth
- Basecoat with 2:1 Jokaero Orange and Deep Orange (or Troll Slayer Orange ).
- Mix the base colour 1:1 with Khorne Red and add shading to folds.
- Now, mix the above colour 1:1 with Black and further shade the recesses. At this point, I find it best to stick to the very deep folds and where the cloth meets other materials.
- Apply chunky highlights of Fire Dragon Bright to the cloth. With the crispness of the details on this sculpt, I first applied a standard edge highlight, before thickening the highlights with a series of downward facing lines.
- Using a 1:1 mix of Fire Dragon Bright and Ice Yellow , as fine edge highlights to the cloth.
- Mix a little White into the above colour and more selectively highlight edges, focussing on upward facing curves.
- Add even more White to the above paint, until it is an off-white colour. Now enhance your highlighting with a few very small/specular highlights.
White Cloth
- Basecoat with 1:1 Celestra Grey and White .
- Glaze some shading in with Fenrisian Grey . be quite generous here, the result will be quite suble, so use it to bring out texture.
- With a 1:1 mix of Fenrisian Grey and Dark Reaper , shade the cloth more selectively.
- Carefully shade the very deepest recesses (and where the cloth meets other material ) with pure Dark Reaper . Be very selective here and keep your lines thin.
- Mix the basecoat 1:1 with White and pick out edges.
- Selectively highlight with pure White .
