Easter Alien Eggstravaganza
Game over man. Game over!
I wanted to get these painted up quick but wasnt sure how I was going to do them so started with the one I was least happy with the sculpting to do a test piece.
If you look up images on Xeno eggs you get all sorts of different colours. I think the original was actually browns and fleshy tones but you often see them as almost black or translucent greens. Presumably because of the lighting used on set.
I decided to try the fleshy look so started with a base spray of AP Leather Brown and then dusted it in blotches with Fur Brown. Then I got some Barbarian flesh through the airbrush to the highlights and some random patches.
It wasnt quite pinky enough so I added some red to the flesh mix already in the brush and went again.
I also gave it a dusting of grey Dirty Down just to darken it a little and because I’ve been dying to use it.
Finally I gave the whole thing some AP strong dip to add shading and give it a glossy slimy look
At this point I think its *ok*. I think the base techniques were fine but for the rest of them I might try adding some more colours in the airbrush. Maybe some of those blacks and greens
