Ghaz 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2009 I'm painting some Sci-Fi Troopers using Shadowed Stone as the base for the fatigues and Ultramarine Blue for the armor with black weapons. My question is which color would look better for the boots and pouches? I can't decide between a Walnut Brown base or simple Black? Or would you recommend some other color instead? Thanks.

demonelf3 35 Report post Posted March 1, 2009 Personally I'd go with the best of both worlds. BC with Walnut and Shade with black, then highlight with some blue, to tie in with the armor. Happy painting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All-Terrain Monkey 59 Report post Posted March 1, 2009 I'd actually recommend sticking with browner hues and highlighting a bit towards Orange to work in a complementary color to the blue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All-Terrain Monkey 59 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 Basecoat with the blackened brown, then highlight with the ruddy leather and the next color up (Burnt Orange, I think? My paints aren't next to me atm). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psyberwolfe1 1075 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 I would start at intense brown as the dark tone, and then work my way through the "leather triad". After that I would glaze Intense Brown over it to pull it all together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
