I haven't been able to work on my Sanguinor project for a while, due to some family issues, so I worked on this for a little while today when I had some free time. I hope you like it!

The skin looks great. How did you do it?

Thank you.

It's quite a variety of colors, really. I used Vallejo Game Colour Heavy Warmgrey as my base, and mixed in a wide combination of "cool" tones like Hawk Turquoise (or Scurvy Green, if staying in the Vallejo family), Liche Purple, Necron Abyss, and Heavy Charcoal for the shade tones. Adeptus Battlegrey, Khemri Brown + Dheneb Stone, and a little Skull White for the various highlights.

I really just kept going in both directions until I got the "pop" I wanted. I then used a little Scab Red, mixed with some of the base flesh tones to get the effect on the lips and eyelids I wanted.

The teeth and eyes are actually both the same, bouncing off of the same Khemri Brown + Dheneb Stone variants, and "yellowed" with a little Iyanden Darksun.

As complicated as it all sounds, the process actually went rather quickly.

I really wish traditional photo editing software worked with DakkaDakka. The images are of a much higher quality on the forums where engines like Flickr are accepted.

Update! I started to work on the cape. Still a ways to go, and a lot of blending yet to do. (The overcloak won't stay that bright purple, fyi.) I just thought I'd give everyone a little update. Enjoy!

Whoops....almost forgot to use the Dakka uploader again.

Greetings all!

I've started some additional work on the cloak. I've had a little trouble defining each of the 3 layers of "cloaking" he wears, but I like the effects I've achieved thus far. Moved around the whole model today to get more color everywhere, as well as a little extra pop. Tell me what you think!





I will be working on the tattered edges of the cloak next to dirty them up a little bit, and then I will move on to some of the smaller details of the model. I also have a scenic base planned. Thanks for viewing!

Very nice looking work.

Thank you. I don't know why the purple cloak looks so saturated in the photos. It's far more subtle in person.

The robe, cloak, and face were all achieved with virtually the same colors.

I like how you tie the hole model with a purple que,give more!

Looking very good so far . That skintone is great....I'll be borrowing that.
