I got you... under my skin
While I am waiting to get some more greenstuff, I thought I’d start trying to get some paint on a model. Luckily, I had an old Morvhana lying around, that I was really happy about. No conversions needed, some skin, some flowing robes,… Perfect as a test piece in other words.
As this was my first time painting black skin, I was a bit anxious. I used this picture as a point of inspiration, because I love the colors that the artist got.
In the end, I went with a combination of colors. A basecoat of medium skin from Nocturna (From a set I once bought specifically meant to paint skin), shadows with parasite brown, dark flesh, charred brown and black. And some highlights with bone white.
I will try and get the recipe a bit easier later on and will do a step by step tutorial, but for now, I just want to show of the skin, as I am pretty happy with it (even though the pictures don’t really do it justice).
