I've been doing a lot of detail work on Slaine. I started out on the leather, using a base of Brown Liner. I then took Blackened Brown and mixed in Leather Brown. At roughly 2 or 3 parts Leather Brown to 1 part Blackened Brown I began to mix in Khaki Highlight. I also attempted to give him a few tattoos. For that I used Soft Blue and mixed it with Fair Skin. I varied the amount of blue for darker and lighter areas. I also switched out Fair Skin for Rosy Shadow for some of the darker areas. I touched up the design with pure skin tones to clean up the lines. Then gave it a few glazes of skin tone and GW's red glaze in some of the shadow areas.
With the hair, fur, and shoulder pad finished I could finally add the arm and sword. I did the initial layers on the sword first (a little easier without the head in the way). But it still needs some more work before I'm done with it.

Looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteMaybe consider a slight yellow-orange filter to the hair? Not to make him look blonde - just to liven that area some more and enhance the focus. I'm not sure myself if that's a good idea, but it just popped in my head.
Thanks. Hmmm.... interesting idea. I wanted to go in and add some more highlights to the hair, I might play around with a filter too
