I'm thinking of something brighter for my bugs, but have no idea how the dip method will affect the brightness of the tones I am choosing - this is where I'm asking for input and info. Here's the scheme:

The plan is to airbrush Grey Vallejo Surface Primer, then airbrush the Averland Sunset basecoat for the flesh and "squishy bits". Step 3 is to glaze the squishy bits green, then Step 4 is the carapace. Step 5 paint on the sauce.

Then I'll need to decide whether I want to spray on a satin or matte coat to allow for some highlighting or drybrushing, or whether to leave it shiny and call it done.

Will the yellowish-orange of the averland sunset get too subdued by the dip sauce, do you think? Will the dryad bark just go black? Will the pallid flesh be a good base for a light-coloured set of claws and teeth, or should I stick with Screaming Skull? I don't want to get too dull and go Zandri Dust or Usabti Bone. I was thinking the pallid flesh is a bit more cool than warm, which is a stark contrast to the rest of the warm colors.

These aren't normally colorurs I'd use, so I don't want to just go out and buy a bunch of stuff to play around with if I don't have to - hence the request.

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730452/9454616.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730452/9454616.page GMT
