Aaaaaargh! Painting Deep Ones Block!
(1/2) > >>
Onebigriver:
So I'm finally getting round to painting the Deep Ones I collected for my Shadows Over Imboca project many moons ago, but I'm completely daunted by painting them. I've collected some amazing art and prosthetics from t'internet but the variety of possible painting schemes isn't helping. Yet I don't want to do them all (hybrids & full Deep Ones) the same. Am I alone in being daunted by Deep Ones? Any suggestions for painting schemes?
Arundel:
I've always pictured them darkish green with glowing yellow eyes, though I have no links for such a treatment. And I might be wrong, of course! Just be sure to give them some gloss coat to make them look wet and slimy.
Please tell us how you get on.
EDIT: Weird, but in looking at another post on the Fantasy boards there are some Deep Ones (labeled Kuo Toa) that are pretty close to how I imagine them. Scroll about 2/3 down and there they are: old Grenadier sculpts, now sold by Mirliton in Italy - I'd give them yellow eyes and another shade for their underbellies, though. And more gloss coat!

Sinewgrab:
I used the base color scheme for a great white shark on mine - the medium gray on the back (i.e. 'top') of the figure, and a lighter gray below.
Don't let them intimidate you. ;)
von Lucky:
A range of earthy green/greys/blues seems appropriate. You might just need 3-4 different skin colours.
Similar to the range of colours Eureka painted their Innsmouth heads: https://www.facebook.com/eurekamin/photos/a.269261905508/10155438627990509/?type=3&theater
Aaaaaannnnndddd there's a Wikipedia page for them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_One
"I think their predominant color was a greyish-green, though they had white bellies."
(So basically what Sinewgrab's done with his nice looking miniatures.)
Captain Blood:
Don’t know if these help... I went for a wide variety... ;)
Although, to be fair, these are rather more fishy deep ones, than fish-men...
