Hiho...
Again its me... the Lone Ranger and bringing you Painting Jam News to your desktops at home:



As i did recieve this question several times i thought it is time by now to answer it... it's all about Lelith Hesperax, that i've painted up lately. Here is a photo of her:



Here goes th question:
"Could we ask for some words on that colour scheme for main parts? eg skin, leather, hair , metal..."

I try my best as far as i can remember and the question'n'answering one arm bandit makes noises again... i wish i'd know the answer of all your questions, but i give it a try on this one:

Skin:
A bright start was made with Space Wolfs Grey + Codex Grey and Bleached Bone Mix. Shadows added with a tip of Regal blue in that mix. Lights painted with more and more Skull white added into the basic mix. All worked with the "rules" of zenithal lightning.

Armour parts:
I've used a basecoat from black+Blood Red, highlighted this with more blood Red and used a tip of Dwarf Flesh in the highlights. Final edges were done with a tip of bleached bone in that mix. Next i've used thin glazes of Tamyia Clear Red X-27 to bring it all together and give it the shiny look. So no metal tone in here at all.

Metals:
Have been painted with a basecoat form Oily Steel and a tip of tourquise in it. Done with shadows and lights to make them look like real metal, you can find an article about that here - shadows by bringing in some black in my main mix, lights by bringing in silver from Vallejo... Lights and shadow all the time...

Hair:
Ugh? Some dark sea blue, black, grey in it for highlights, white for further highlights... can't remember much more of it.

Leather:
That was also a mess i can't describe anymore :)

I hope this little colour overview can help you at your own Lelith Hesperax or Dark Eldar or Smurf :)
Keep on happy painting!
Regards
Roman
