rubegon Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I’m starting my first of the kid heroes from the Bones 5 core set. I really like the character design with the sharp looking long coat, cool hair and bone sword. I want to do something different with the skin on this one. I want to paint them as a moon elf, with cool undertones and warmer highlights. im going to try basecoating with a blue and highlight up to pinkish highlight. Not sure if this is going to work. Starting with a basecoat of ritterlich:dark elf at about 1:1. This is along the lines of what I’m going for with the skin. Putting this here for reference. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubegon Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Started blocking in the skin. Not sure … Worked on the skin some more, and basecoated the coat and hair(9462 Succubus Kiss and 9066 Blue Liner). I need to see how all the colors will work together. I think it’s starting to come together. Working on the wet palette for this one. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubegon Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 I wanted to warm up the skin tone a bit, so I added some 9283 Old West Rose to the mid tones and remixed the skin colors. Also moved to the well palette to control consistency better. Blending these colors was tricky - I can control consistency and keep my colors consistent better in the wells. Redid a lot of the skin. It’s looking better now I think. I feel like they’re looking like a moon elf. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubegon Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Did some digital editing in Adobe Fresco on my iPhone to figure out how to handle the eyes. I think side eye is the way. This turned out pretty well - now whether I can paint it like this is another matter! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I can paint them somewhat close to that - we’ll see! I did a green version too: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubegon Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 I think I like the violet better too! I did it that way first but my wife said I should make them green so I tried that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubegon Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Actually painted in the eyes now, at least in black. I’ll leave trying to color them until the end I think so I can see how the whole color scheme looks. Did some more work on the face too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubegon Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Started on the hair. Using the original skin colors from the wet palette (without the pink) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
