Outcasts – Tara!

This was a pretty fun model. Even though I have the transparent edition, I wanted to paint Tara. She’s a human being…why is she transparent? So I left the soulstone and her Obliteration arm transparent and did the rest in a brown/green cowboy look.

I started with some pretty bright browns – the same colour for her skirt, cloak and shirt, and then an even brighter colour for her leggings. Her hair started out blond, but that looked kind of dumb so she ended up black of hair with a little grey streak.

All of the base coats went through a number of different glaze applications, using lots of the Secret Weapon purple, blue and flesh wash to add lots of different subtle colours. After that was done, I went back and did a “traditional layering” technique on the raised parts of the cloth.

The face I did with Kislev Flesh, then glazed down lightly with blue. Then I mixed the Kislev with some Warpstone Glow and Waywatchers Green and very lightly painted into the recesses on either side of the nose and the underside of her face. The Kislev was to pink, so I finished by mixing the green with Ushapti Bone.

I also glazed the sword and arm blue. Because I could.

I think she needs a dullcoat to bring the shininess together – there are a variety of different levels of shine here, and it’s bothersome. I might also pick up some Blood for the Blood God and use it on her back hole. That wouldn’t be a bloodless wound…and besides I’ll need it for Killjoy in the end. 😀
