Fantastic blacks, especially on that assassin

(And the rest of the painting is also up to your usual high standards)

I was just ranting about the hardships of painting black on another thread, yesterday, and there you go

Thanks. I like to try different methods for black. Here for example, the "Mad Mullah" is black with greys mixed in, whereas the assassin's cloak is actually a dark purple, with black mixed in. I take the purple and mix in some black until it's almost, er, black. Then just add some more purple for each layer.

That works very well, lovely paintjobs, great black colours the variation in the black painting gives a more lived in, not uniform, every black is not the same feel.

Great!!! Really great, congratulations... I love all them

Wonderful work with the blacks of the assassin. And I love the skintones of the two pulp figures of the Istanbul Constabulary... I think It's a good tone for sikhs too... can you tell mi which colors have you used?

Waiting for more works

Any dark brown – VGC Scorched Brown or some such name – then just mix in any lighter brown. VGC Beasty Brown here.
And I do use it for Sikhs.
