Celtos Commission

[Tim C]

I have had to put Medusa aside for a little while as I have just had a commission come in for over 20 Celtos miniatures that the customer wants asap plus another one for 12 Space Marines as well. I have done the first two Celtos figs and will be starting the next one today, the bases are not done yet, they will be done when I have a few finished to make the basing job less tedious.

Next mini on the workbench is a standard bearer, I have made a start and apart from a really crap face (there is very little definition in it) it should prove to be a nice mini to paint.

Nice - what do you use for the deepest shade of flesh?

[Tim C]

I use Dwarf flesh for the base tone, highlight up to Elf Flesh then I use Leviathan purple wash sparingly in the recesses, some of the darkest tones are done by adding a touch of Dark Flesh into the base colour again added sparingly.

Ok, the purple makes the difference, probably... hmmm...

It would never occur to me to use purple, but the it looks great and now I think about it, of course. And very nice work btw.

Actually, artists are taught to mix in blue to the colour for painting shadows, so it's not completely un-understandable....

If I had comissioned them I would be very happy. Nice work.

[Captain Blood]
