Decided that these warriors came out a bit blah so hit them with some dry brushed scale 75 Heavy Metal to get silverish highlights. Subtle but nice. Maybe i try a brighter silver if i think they could use more contrast.
I also tried painting some purple into the little poison canisters on the guns and I’m not a fan right now. Not sure what I want to replace it tho.
Step one of this mohawk was to cover the black primer with a layer of light fleshtone. This will help with the bright colors i want to add, letting me get more done with less layers of paint.
Next comes base coats of color.
A little messy but next comes a wash to tie it all together:
And that stuff takes a while to dry.
Check in after dinner and it’s dry:
Now it’s due for some highlights to bring back the vibrancy of the colors while keeping the added shadows from the wash in the recesses.
Highlighted. And blue on the poison can now which I prefer to the purple.
