Hi, I recently discovered one of your posts on some Dark Elf/Daughters of Khaine models and wanted to ask how you painted the skin?
Hey! The method I used is as follows. The minis were primed first with GW Chaos Black, with a second coat of GW The Fang sprayed over that. Alternatively, you can just apply The Fang via brush.
I then airbrushed on a highlight of GW Russ Grey, concentrating on the uppermost surfaces of the mini. Face, top of arms, chest, top of legs, etc. You can also paint it on, just keep some of The Fang showing in the recesses or parts of the mini that’d be most shadowed.
After that, I decided to play with the shadows/blend the two blue-greys. For that I used GW Guilliman Blue, and did a sort of recess shade with it, keeping it to all the nooks and crannies, as well as where skin meets clothes/armor. This is way less stark than a full-out wash and also helps to bring the colors together if you brushed on The Fang/Russ Grey
Hope this helps!
