Blood Bowl! Couldn't resist painting the classic teams.
The Black Orc Blocker. GRIMJAW GITSLASH!!!!
Grimjaw was base coloured as was mentioned a few posts back.
I’ve started with the armour. I’m hoping that i can recreat what i managed with Oaf the Thrower. Here is where i’ve got to….
Sideways again.....note that the duster on his right hand is still just base coloured...If i'm honest the photograph doesn't show that the contrast is actually a bit stronger. The only way i can explain this step is calling it ‘Lazy blending’….
- I took Citadel’s ‘Scab Red'(Now ‘Khorne Red’) and attempted to blend lazily up to ‘Blood Red'( Now ‘Evil Sunz Scarlet’) at the areas i imagined to be most hit by light on the larger panels of Armour.
I haven’t worried too much about what it looks like as it will later be washed back down.An air brush would make short work of this….and it would look way better straight off the bat. As long as there was a dark bit on one side of a panel and a light bit on the other with no obvious split line between the two it was done. If it’s all edges…I just built a few layers with a blood red highlight.
- The less obvious panel/plates ( on the skull cap for example) have been chunkily layered using a few tones from the lazy blending streaks on my wet pallet….
Like i said it will practically disappear at the next phase, but it adds a bit of depth later on…
- Any raised areas are also lightly highlighted with watered down ‘Blood Red’.
- I have also added a wash of ‘Seraphim Sepia’ to his trousers.
As shown in the first photo:
The tongue was then painted layering the ‘Scab Red’ and then the ‘blood red’. A thin highlight of ‘Vallejo Model colour-Magenta-70.945’ was then added to the tip of the tongue. A wash of Citadel-‘BAAL RED’ ( Now ‘Crimson Carruborg’) was then dabbed on the tongue and moved around the mouth a bit.
I then blacked the teeth out with Vallejo Model Colour- Black-70.950. Along with a few other features like the steel rings between armour plates and his one good eye.
