Don't say it....   Drow, ugh.

She looks fine!

These Dark Elves you are pumping out are pretty cool. I like your skin tones in particular. 

[Chaoswolf]

I agree. 

How are you doing the skin tones?

[kazmania7]

My drow skin tones I've been using a 50/50 mix of 9164 dark elf skin and 9250 dusky skin shadow for the shadows, and for the base 9251 dusky skin m/w 9044 tanned skin with also adding a tiny bit of a purple, green or blue depending how I think it will look on the against the color scheme, and for highlighting I use 9251 dusky skin m/w either 9282 maggot white or 29824 maiden flesh (srry old sku number not sure what it is now). Of course I'm painting alot of drow so I can experiment with the tones I really want to go even lighter on the dusky shade but as of yet failed to get what I want. But admit it's been kinda of fun trying.

Interesting to see. I painted the exact same miniature to be my frostgrave wizard some time ago and did some things similar but others differently. For example i don't paint my dark elves to be drow. I paint them more to look like anime dark elves (skin color wise). Look at this for an idea (with absolutly pure thoughts of course and only at the face ) :

 

 

I like how you paint the leather/wool stuff at her legs. I always stuggle a lot with anything that is leather or wool and not a cape. Good work!
