Aeon Trespass Nymphys - Labyrinth, Solitude, and Night
Skin
All three models were given a Corax White spray undercoat. I then gave each one a wash to help me pick out the details for painting. The labyrinth nymph got a wash of 50:50 Lahmiam medium and Reikland fleshade. The solitude nymph was washed with 50:50 Lahmiam medium and Athonian camoshade. The night nymphwas washed with 50:50 Lahmium medium and Nuln oil.
Before painting the skin I watched the 3 colours up video on painting elf skin tones (https://www.beastsofwar.com/3-colors-up/high-elf-skin-tone/). I’m not a fan of mixing paints and I only own Games Workshop paints so I didn’t plan on following the tutorial exactly. It was very useful to see how you can have a second paint brush on hand for blending though.
The labyrinth nymph and solitude nymph’s skin were painted Rakarth flesh, then a layer of flayed one flesh, with a final highlight of pallid wych flesh.
The night nymph’s skin was painted celestra grey, then a layer of ulthuan grey, with a final highlight of pallid wych flesh.
On all three models I didn’t paint over the wash in the deepest recesses to keep those areas shaded.
Throughout painting all three model’s skin I completely forgot to use a second brush for blending.
