Frustrating WIP but can finally see the light

So, spent literally 2 hours on just his skin. It's an odd blue/green and every single painting I've seen has strictly done blue. I painted him up, doing great highlights and then noticed he was too blue. I tried to correct with self made wash, failed, tried again, failed, tried watered down Nuln Oil, failed and then tried again to a point where I accept it as he is (needs highlights again). Will create some "fun" video editing during the start of this video :P I'm sure he will end up fine, but wanted to share that it's not always a perfect journey :)

Yep, that's a fantastic base coat and I wish I had noticed that before trying him as I had a much harder time about it. Just posted a current pic of him with what I used to get that effect.

Sorry, I mean Sotek Green from Citadel.

Who makes Sokeb Green? I'll post a current picture in just a sec and list the paints I used for his skin

I heard Sokeb Green is a good color for his skin, but I’m a bit hesitant about it. Which color did you use?

They are part of his body :D If you ever do decide to get it you are in luck as he is part of the base game :) You can see the art for him here: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/666110601110995884/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/666110601110995884/</a> And actually, if you ever need to see concept art, I have a pinterest I use only for that (have it for Massive Darkness as well): <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/TheKingOfAverage/boards/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pinterest.com/TheKingOfAverage/boards/</a>

Are the faces on his knees part of his body, or are they armor? This guy has a sick amount of detail. I'm kicking myself for not funding this game. I LOVE Asian mythology even though I don't know what half the stuff is.

Haha genius! Never fear, I've already planned how to go about this for video and I will only list the colors I actually end up using :)

Thanks! It happens, no big deal now but I was certainly ready for bed last night after this :P I think some highlights will really sell it well and if I didn't go around showing it no one would be the wiser ^.^

I think you nailed the color....that looks superb. Sorry it took half your day to get it just right! He'll be glorious when he's all done.

I think color matching is the hardest part of painting miniatures. It is the reason I am happy to support folks like you to help pick out the best colors! Thanks for doing the hard work so I can do the fun part.
