Often for very light things I'll paint 'down' not 'up'. start with white primer, many very thin layers to work down the shade to darker shadows, drop shadows into target areas, wet blend back to the mid & high tones when needed, remove any wash shadows that stay on top highlight areas with a wet brush. If need highlights still after (and I think I did) then add them with the Pale Olive & bit of Menoth White from P3 paints, or other 'offwhite/linen' color, but not pure white.SBG wrote:So you go base color,then shadow? What about highlights?If I recall correctly, the base of the skin is reaper master series Pale Olive (I love this color), a few very thin layers, then darken shadows with a touch of RMS Swamp green added to the Pale Olive- a few successively darker mixes the deeper it goes.
That coach has been on my mind- I might have to paint an orc team for myself with that skin tone & purple uniforms.
Also: what do you use for the base and which manufacturer did this mini?

I have no spare orcs lying around anymore (they headed to ebay a while back) I'm checking with Sann0638 what he has spare, but otherwise I don't think I'm going to be getting anything else painted in time for the competition close.SBG wrote:@spiky: do you know what it's gonna be finally?
