colour advise for Fallout Centaur *finished 16/02*
« on: February 13, 2013, 03:50:31 PM »
I painted Armorcast's mutant man slug and although I quite like the result already, I feel like he could use some more colour. More precisely the gaps on his back. It doesn't really look like muscle tissue nor bone to me  :?
So, suggestions are very welcome.

This is what I got already :

Maybe some sort of thin blue-ish purple wash and a bit of puss yellow here and there (on the most raised parts) + a blood-ish red wash in the deepest parts?

.:edit:.
these may explain it a bit better:

As the real thing has a red undertone and blue veines allover the body, you could say it has a purple look to it.
I innitialy discarded that option because I feared it wouldn't be to my taste. However, I did follow up on your advice and lo and behold :



I'm satisfied with the result so I can move on to the next figure without regrets  :)
