The Thin Beige Line
War Paint
Between layers of black on Mauls body, I made a start on his head. I really struggled to make out the sculpted details at first but with each colour applied things became clearer.
I began by roughly colouring the eyes with Averland Sunset. I then picked out the red tattooed areas with Evil Sunz Scarlet. The black parts of the tattoo were filled in with German Field Grey. I did my best to avoid the teeth and horns.
A wash of Nuln Oil was applied to the tattooed areas to bring out the definition and tone them down.
I worked back over all areas with the original colours, tidying up and adding highlights after the black wash.
A further, selective wash of Nuln Oil, followed by more tidying up and a wash of Soft Tone to the teeth and horns…
… then I went to rest my eyes!
