I thought this was a neat mid-step and I haven’t posted such a thing in a long time, so here we are. 🙂
After the base coat, I’ve only added 2 layers.
Seraphim Sepia all over the gold sections, takes that really pale watered down gold and gives it a much stronger contrast and a better colour.
And a combination of SW Amethyst, Golden Matte Medium and water into the recesses of the skin. After that dried, I took a similar combination but with SW Heavy Body Black and went deep into the recesses and the under areas. You can see on the arm on the left the contrast this makes, but a more comprehensive photo shows that it’s on the under areas as well, giving that more realistic shading.
Next I’m going to use green glaze on the gold, and red glaze on the skin to give both a more varied colour. For these, I apply the colour in a random pattern, to be just a little bit of weathering.
(I left his buddy after the sepia and amethyst step – from there it gets to detail oriented to be doing two models at once anymore.)
