Painting Who Goes There? 2nd Ed.
Commander Garry.
This is maybe the mini that is closest to the characters of the movie. Maybe except the moustache.
While the mini looks pretty straightforward, it was the one who gave me the most problems. I first basecoated his shirt and pants with P3 Rucksack Tan. I then added a wash of Citadel Agaros Dune. After that, I redid the midtones etc. with Rucksack Tan. That is where my problems started. The contrast was too stark, not enough transition. I know that it’s supposed to be a comic book style but trust me it didn’t work. After adding coats after coats of Rucksack Tan this is the end result. In retrospect, I should have simply basecoated in Rucksack Tan and highlighted from there.
What’s the saying? Hindsight is 20/20…
