Flesh
Skin
- Work your way around the with Screaming Skull , relayering over the skin but leaving the Contrast in the recesses. Watering down your paint more than usual will help to make an easier gradient from the shade.
- Highlight this with 1:1 Screaming Skull / Pallid Wych Flesh
- Add another mix to the current colour with Pallid Wych Flesh . Focus on hard muscles, edges and glazing where necessary to mimic where light falls on the skin
- Lastly do a 1:1 mix of on sharp edges with White Scar / Pallid Wych Flesh
Joints
- Wash with a 2:1 mix of Volupus Pink and Contrast Medium .
- Throw on a layer of Pink Horror to the higher up areas.
- Highlight these areas with a 1:1 mix of Pink Horror and Kislev Flesh . Thin this out to start building in a gradient.
- Add a further highlighting to all the joint areas now with more Kislev Flesh to the mix.
- Lastly, add Pallid Wych Flesh to the mix and do a last dot highlight to make the flesh look a bit shiny.
