Captain Karlaen WIP #2

Ok, so it's been a little while. Ooops. New job, fair bit of other things going on, and I simply never got around to putting up a few things.

The Salamander is actually finished, so I should do another post on that model soon.

Today is a much shorter post than usual, just something for record keeping before I mess it up.

"Give me a cookie!"

There's not much new to how I did skin tones long ago for one of the Death Company, just better brushes now. The photo, as usual, is not the greatest, particularly because it's a camera phone zoomed in, but overall the quality survived ok. The usual hint of red for lips, some white for teeth, and playing with various shades for the skin tones.

As with the Lizardmen (which still need to be finished!), having different coloured skin tones for each model will make them look more natural when placed together. So the key really is just to play around with the paints a bit and not to plan it all ahead.

The eyebrow needs a bit of work, perhaps just a thin lighter line. Karlaen, as is typical for many Blood Angels, will have lighter hair. The next time I do a face however, I might go with black hair, just because it looks fairly ok here.
