Pink mohawk kabalite

Just like with the yellow/red/orange mohawk i did before, i basecoated some light flesh tone over the black primer before proceeding.

Unsure with what pink to use since i dont own a premixed pink, i mixed up two for starters.

On the right is model color vermillion plus model color ice yellow from vallejo. On the left i mixed vermillion with game color glacier blue. Inexact ratios, roughly a drop of each paint.

I tried both over the flesh basecoat and preferred the glacier blue mix that reads more pink than red.

All credit to vince venturella for giving me the idea to use a bluish white for pink in his exploring pink video.

I painted the reddish pink as a base with blue pink over it to give depth.

Neither pinks have great coverage so it took a few layers

After a few layers trying to be neat i felt like there was no depth, however, so i turned to my washes. I tried red on one side and purple on the other.

Purple gave the desired effect.

As i went to wipe off the red wash i got more than i bargained for on the napkin.

I tried to put new pink to cover but i accidentally wiped off all the paint down to the black primer on the raised edges. Since washes take awhile to dry i will let it sit overnight before i fix it up.

At last i touched it up, gave it purple shading, then hit it with some generous drybrushing of pink. The shading got washed out a bit more than i might like so maybe i hit it with some more purple.

Ive also since done up the bases on this squad of five. The recipe is black primer, dark brown, dry brushed ice yellow, then painted a thin layer of reaper rich leather brown. I may hit it with more ice yellow drybrush tho to add contrast.

My last little touch on these warriors for now was an ice blue drybrush on the black of the guns. And a drybrush of buff on the bases and the mohawks. Almost imperceptible that drybrush but i swear i did it.
