Grey Seer, Apothecary White, Ulthuan Grey drybrush using downward strokes from top to bottom, praxati white drybrush downward strokes top to bottom.

Drybrush in one direction will allow the shadows to stay in a sorta faux-zenithal effect.

Utilizing Careful Highlighting





Vallejo Green grey as a base color, Vallejo Game Color Glacier blue for the tinge of blue, Vallejo Model Color Blue Grey Pale as a shade would be my first guesses, but I'm bad at these games.

I would be very sparing wiht the blue. Definitely a pale bone coloured base, soft black-brown shadows. I think you'd want to paint the flesh entirely in those tones, then as a last step very gently glaze blue onto certain areas.
