Vicky Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 This is another Werner Klocke sculpt that I painted this week. I really like the pose and I thought if I used mostly green/gold for her costume, she should have auburn hair. I put some silver in the mix, too, not a lot, but enough to help break up all the golds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Peacock Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I love that speckled bronze look on the armor and shield trim, and the verdigris green gradients. The colors are very subdued yet eye-catching! I also really like the rich reddish-browns of the wood-grain texture on the base; it seems to fit well with similar tones in the character's hair, unifying the whole.

Stubbdog Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 very nice indeed. So... that is a brown wash over gold metallics then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thank ya'll both very much! Stubbdog -- To answer your question, no, not a brown wash. I start with Reaper's brown liner to base the gold metallic parts, then highlight up, first using mixtures of brownish black and intense brown, then go to metallics with a mixture of intense brown and my darkest gold metallic shade, then I highlight with my two lightest gold metallics straight. Silver is done much the same way, just with blues instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
