So, spent literally 2 hours on just his skin. It's an odd blue/green and every single painting I've seen has strictly done blue. I painted him up, doing great highlights and then noticed he was too blue. I tried to correct with self made wash, failed, tried again, failed, tried watered down Nuln Oil, failed and then tried again to a point where I accept it as he is (needs highlights again). Will create some "fun" video editing during the start of this video :P I'm sure he will end up fine, but wanted to share that it's not always a perfect journey :)

I think color matching is the hardest part of painting miniatures. It is the reason I am happy to support folks like you to help pick out the best colors! Thanks for doing the hard work so I can do the fun part.

I think you nailed the color....that looks superb. Sorry it took half your day to get it just right! He'll be glorious when he's all done.

Thanks! It happens, no big deal now but I was certainly ready for bed last night after this :P I think some highlights will really sell it well and if I didn't go around showing it no one would be the wiser ^.^

Haha genius! Never fear, I've already planned how to go about this for video and I will only list the colors I actually end up using :)

Are the faces on his knees part of his body, or are they armor? This guy has a sick amount of detail. I'm kicking myself for not funding this game. I LOVE Asian mythology even though I don't know what half the stuff is.

They are part of his body :D If you ever do decide to get it you are in luck as he is part of the base game :) You can see the art for him here: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/666110601110995884/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/666110601110995884/</a> And actually, if you ever need to see concept art, I have a pinterest I use only for that (have it for Massive Darkness as well): <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/TheKingOfAverage/boards/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pinterest.com/TheKingOfAverage/boards/</a>

I heard Sokeb Green is a good color for his skin, but I’m a bit hesitant about it. Which color did you use?

Sorry, I mean Sotek Green from Citadel.

Yep, that's a fantastic base coat and I wish I had noticed that before trying him as I had a much harder time about it. Just posted a current pic of him with what I used to get that effect.
