The final 4 miniatures for my Barbarian warband was another adventure in flesh tone painting. We have a swarthy, female reclining assassin, an albino shaman, a ruddy female with broadsword and a two-weaponed, pallid Beserker Dwarf:
The painting technique was the same on all of them (white prime, contrast base wash, highlight up with increasing amount of white added to the base Contrast paint and then glazed with reds to warm up), but they each had a different starting colour:
The paler two characters also had extra white added to their highlights from the start of the process.
And here's the simple conversion for the shaman; a LotR goblin body and a zombie head with some greenstuffed hair and largely goblin bits on the staff:
In another project I would like to experiment with how to capture skintones other than caucasian, but for now my Barbarians are complete and I'll do some nice group photos later.
Oh, what an interesting experiment on skin tones! I really like what you did here, this kind of thing is something we don't see that often. Really cool.
ReplyDeleteI like how you made a shaman, nice staff, pretty cool.
