So the end of the previous step leaves your miniatures looking presentable and ready to fight; but I’ve found that dry brushing really ties the minature together and helps smooth out the contrast paints.

First dry brush is Gothor Brown followed by Sylavaneth Bark. I give this a heavy dry brush all over the bark areas focusing on the face torso and hands.

I drybrush moot green over the leaves and vines, this can be done fairly rough as it gives a gradient from yellow to green. I then drybrush the bark with Mootgreen to give a mossy effect, especially where there are more creases like at elbow joints. (Bonus tip - try stipling)

Next re-apply Wraithbone to the eyes and mouth in preparation for the final step, two coats may be needed. The eyes are quite small and I would recommend painting around the eye which will make the end result noticeable from a distance and add to the glow effect.
