Painting this guy was really neat. I did a really thin wash of Codex Grey over his entire body, and had planned to highlight up and shade down…except that because of the white primer he was already pretty contrasty.
I started from there by mixing SW Amethyst with some Golden matte medium and water and painted that into most of the crevasses and under him. The matte solves the problem I had of the SW washes being overly shiny in some places.
I used a wash of GW Abaddon Black, then the Waywatcher Green glaze in places to mix it up. Then highlighted back up with Codex Grey and then Fortress Grey, then mixed in some SW Amethyst to darken a bit, then mix in Dheneb Stone for the last highlight.
