Little bit of a contrast boop.
Apron time.
Ahh, forgot the ‘always put their hats on so you don’t have to paint their eyeballs’ rule.
Using this one to do a bit of airbrush practice. What do we reckon, ‘green’?
“Hey! What are you teens up to?”
At some point my self-distractions will loop back on themselves and I’ll actually finish a thing. Today is not that day! 🎉 Having a play at unifying yellows and reds via purples and pinks, inspired by @minis ‘s gorgeous Howling Griffons scheme.
Hey, look at me, un-abandoning a thing! I really like the dark desaturated purple and red I ended up with as a base on the big bug, so I’m glazing the same mix over the clashing too-vibrant versions here (while I remember what they are).
Imperceptible little increments.
Little boops of highlight on his mittens and spiky hat.
Can’t completely stay away from those reds I don’t see properly.
All that glorious skin, you tell yourself, all that expanse of carapace. But you forget the vents, dear reader, you forget that 70% of the surface area is tiny vents.
This sculpt could have been lifted straight out of the OG Space Hulk manual art 😍
Black-removal continues.
Working out where I’ll want the most saturated reds to go.
Chasing ‘green’.
Making a brief (?) step away from dwarf pal to give @Berit ‘s Zorn challenge a try. A greenskin with metal bits makes perfect sense for a palette without explicit green or metallics, right?
Am I broken?
Did I choose a sane, easily-accessible area in which to attempt the obligatory checkerboard pattern? No.
But will I at least finally learn from this experience? Also no.
First ‘contrast’ pass, what do we reckon? Better? Worse? Legally indistinguishable?
I think one of my problems is that I’ve pushed the skin so bright in the highlight (no regrets).
Two painting sessions in a single day, purely to appease @erikcats ‘s relentless whip-cracking! My knees won’t last. My ‘painting knees’*
I have though, quite literally, turned a corner.
*What?
