This chap's been in my to-paint for more years than I can remember. He's survived sales, moves, and numerous Stalin-esque purges, even losing a fellow slayer on the way. He'd even been picked to go into a job lot, but got pulled out of the fire just before I took the picture to send to the buyer!
So I finally decided that his time had come. He's got a long way to go, and I welcome all feedback, criticism, and advice!!
One thing in particular that I'd like some advice on is his face: I love how some artists don't make their mini's skin the same all over, but create an effective play of several colors and tones. The best I've been able to do on other minis so far is to give them a light wash with scab red to give them a nice barely-detectable pinkish tinge that adds some life to their skin, but I'd like to do something a bit more dramatic. But again, any advice on ANY aspect is more than welcome.
A few trade guidlines:
1) If your feedback is significantly lower, I expect you to ship first, even if I'm buying- Money carries greater risks than minis: I can't buy groceries with a box of Tac Marines!
2) Communication is key! I'm a reasonable guy (I try,) so if there's a problem, tell me!
3) I package things well, you should do the same. Protect minis from each other, too.
4) Leave feedback!
I find Gyphon Sepia is a better flesh wash. I find Ogryn Flesh even to red.
You have a great start.
What you can do is mix a little wet elf flesh with GS wash on the mini to create a milking effect. this way you get a smooth transition.
Alternatively what i do with most of my regular models is prime with tallarn flesh then hit all but the lows with elf flesh then hit with a full coat of GS Wash then hit the highlights with elf flesh again either fine line or dry brush. Sometimes you can do some touch ups with GS wash again, to make the transitions nice. Simple and it works well. Gives a similar effect to what you have there but a little more smooth on the transitions.
