How I painted these fantastic Njorse sculpts in anticipation of the full 'Njorsvald' Kickstarter. Heavily inspired by the artwork.

Skin

1. Basecoat with a mix of 2 parts Cadian Fleshtone , 2 parts Ushabti Bone and 1 part White .
2. Mix a portion of your basecoat 1:1 with Doombull Brown and shade the skin.
3. Add more selective shading of pure Doombull Brown around eye sockets and other deep recesses.
4. Gradually mix White into the basecolour, then pick out raised details. Each time you mix in more White , highlight more selectively, until you are defining details like the point of the nose and knuckles with almost pure White .

For the shaved portions, I mixed a little Dawnstone into the basecolour, then gentle glazed the completed skin and re-highlihted as needed.

Dark Blonde Hair

1. Basecoat with Zamesi Desert .
2. Shade with Skeleton Horde . I thinned mine with an equal amount of Contrast Medium and run it into recesses with a thin brush.
3. Highlight with 1:1 Zamesi Desert and Ushabti Bone .
4. Edge highlight with Ushabti Bone .
5. Selectively highlight with Wraithbone .

Pale Blonde Hair

1. Basecoat with Tallarn Sand .
2. Wash with 1:1 Reikland Fleshshade and Seraphim Sepia .
3. Highlight with Tallarn Sand and Ushabti Bone .
4. Selectively highlight with Ushabti Bone .
5. Finish with specular Wraithbone highlights, where needed.

Brown Hair

1. Basecoat with Mournfang Brown .
2. Shade with 1:1 Mournfang Brown and Abaddon Black .
3. With 1:1 Mournfang Brown and Cadian Fleshtone , highlight the strands.
4. Mix a little Ushabti Bone into the above and highlight more selectively.
5. Finish with a few specular Ushabti Bone highlights.

Red Hair

1. Basecoat with Skrag Brown .
2. Wash with 1:1 Reikland Fleshshade and Agrax Earthshade . I thinned mine with a little Contrast Medium to make it easier to control.
3. Edge highlight with Troll Slayer Orange .
4. Mix Troll Slayer Orange and Screaming Skull 1:1 then selectively highlight exposed curls.
5. Increase the amount of Screaming Skull in the mix and finish with a few small highlights.

Blue Cloth

1. Basecoat with 1:1 Dark Reaper and Administratum Grey .
2. Shade the cloth with some thinned Dark Reaper .
3. Mix the base colour 2:1 with some White and highlights.
4. Increase the amount of White in the above mix and highlight more selectively, focusing on corners and curves.
5. Finish with a few specular White highlights where needed.

Dark Blue Cloth & Shields

1. Basecoat with a mix of 2 parts Incubi Darkness , 2 parts Thunderhawk Blue and 1 part Abaddon Black .
2. Shade with a thin mix of 1:1 Incubi Darkness and Abaddon Black .
3. Mix the base colour 1:1 with some more Thunderhawk Blue and apply chunky highlights.
4. Now mix a small portion of the above, 2:1 with some Administratum Grey and add fine highlights.
5. Increase the amount of Administratum Grey in the mix, so it is pretty close to pure Administratum Grey . Now highlight corners and curves selectively.
6. Finish by mixing some white into the above paint and adding specular highlights where needed.

Brown Cloth

1. Basecoat with 1:1 Dryad Bark and Abaddon Black .
2. Shade with some thinned Abaddon Black .
3. Glaze raised portions with Dryad Bark .
4. Add chunky highlights of 1:1 Dryad Bark and Stormvermin Fur within the previous stage.
5. Add finer highlights of Stormvermin Fur , making them a little thicker on sharp corners and curves.
6. Mix a little Screaming Skull into your Stormvermin Fur and highlight more selectively.
7. Add a few specular highlights of Screaming Skull where you think it is needed.

It is pretty easy to go overboard with the highlighting of this material. If they end up looking a little chalky, I would suggest glazing the highlights down with Dryad Bark gently and re-highlighing.

Dark Brown Leather

1. Basecoat with Rhinox Hide .
2. Shade recesses with a 1:1 mix of Rhinox Hide and Abaddon Black .
