Malifaux – Toshiro – Final (Kinda)

I’ve all but finished the Crooligans and now I’ve kind of forgotten how Toshiro went together…so lets see if I can piece this all back.

I don’t know about this photo. Makes him look super flat. He’s not that flat. >.>

The cobblestone was the stegadon green, with black just behind it. After I drybrushed Codex Grey and Fortress Grey over it, I feel like both colours looked the same…but looking at it now, maybe there’s a small difference, and enough to make it interesting. I mixed Mephiston Red and the SW Amethyst together to make a horrible redish purple that I used as innard fluids, which I painted directly underneat Toshiro and behind him…and on his pants after they were done…and in his guts.

His cloak was just the Warpstone Green, and I tried to make it a little different by mixing with the SW Flesh Wash, and then with some Snakebite Leather, but I feel like it just got still greener. Ah well.

The skin was that Ryn Flesh (actually this time — I have the paint pot in front of me), and I think I mixed it with the SW Flesh Wash, but in the end it wasn’t satisfyingly deep. The dude has crevasses in his skin, and you couldn’t see them. I think I mixed it with some green of some sort…and then it was to green…so I went back with Ushapti Bone (the hardest working colour in the box) and it got less green but still not a great colour (if you’re alive, it wouldn’t be a great colour) and I’m happy with it.

The rest was pretty simple, I thought it all looked nice with a basecoat and a wash.

This model and the Crooligans had a case of bad primer. Toshiro got away pretty ok, except on his lower pants, where it actually looks pretty awesome because it’s all caked up and red with blood. The Crooligans, it just looks fuzzy and consequently I’m less interested in making them look super amazing, just good enough. They’ll come along in another post or so. 🙂

Also, it says “Kinda” in the title — I did some freehand on Toshiro’s back, and it turns out you can’t see his back because you don’t have the model in front of you! bwahaha! That’ll be along soon too. >.>
