What color do you paint your Canal or City dwelling Martians?

[the fallen scholar]

Barsoom Red? 
Space 1889 Greenish Yellow?
Some other color?

I need a few ideas for inspiration.

Thanks

I don't have any 'civilized' fellows, but when I do, I think I'd like them 'paler.'

My 'wild men' follow the 1889 paradigm, but if they were red, I'd go a bit towards a ruddy ivory, if that makes sense.

Oh, and the question to me is "What color did SOMEONE paint your Canal or City dwelling Martians?"

I think just give them a beach tan and some red tatoos and they'll be fine!

Sun-tanned half-naked technologically advanced barbarians will always look very "reddish" for European explorers IMHO!

Not 1889 but maybe something to give you a few ideas.




Red Planet Miniatures Sky Martians and a soon to be released City Martian.

jimbibbly, very nice minis but... do you really prefer their look over this "classical" Barsoom look?

I went for one of the darker citadel flesh tones. Dwarf flesh i think with a tiny bit of red then a wash.

Well personally, I try to aim for in generally Native American skin colours darkening it for my more wild and forest/jungle people, while lightening the shades for my city dwellers

In all seriousness, I've seen various visualizations of Therns. Could those be 'weird' enough?

Painted white, of course.

I do because they are the figures I'm peddling

I use Space1889 & some elves etc for yellow Martians & paint them a ruddy or mustard yellow. I paint my Barsoomian type figures as red Martians & use a dark salmon for the skin tones.

...use a dark salmon for the skin tones.

Ooooo, that I'd like to see, alas, in person!

That explains why the Tharks sometimes refer to the Red Martians as SASHIMI

Red or Greenish....
