For any who remeber my Vangaurd he has a metallic armor look, I have since decided to move away from that and align my scheme a bit closer to the new overall CA theme. I do the armor in a dark grey with a few washes of dark grey ink, clothing is the same dark grey with a light grey ink wash, I do the weapons in the same style I used to do my armor with steel paint and a heavy heavy dose of black ink.

The rest is just standard Morat colors



I am still doing some detail work, but I should have him done before to long. I am struggling a bit with the eyes.

Also I really got to stop with the close ups.

Nice! how did you do the skin tone?

That one is tricky, you start for a dark red and just progressively build layers up of lighter reds, using a red ink wash to blend the colors together.

So many views and only one comment ; P I must be doing a good job.

Ah I see. Do you use a wash in between each layer or at the end for all of them?

I'm still newbie. I don't use washes as much as I probably should.

Really you only have to do it at the end, I think I did it about 3 times on the skin just because I can't stop messing with it.

Thanks lol.

Look forward to seeing the end result

Have you still painted his belt and some other armor parts metallic? You mention you used to do it, but are now using a dark grey? It looks cool already, I also really like the skin tone.

he looks like he's got a big grin on his face in that pic...lol.

So far so good, NM!
