Right, she has a white shirt and I can never get white to look right. A friend of mine has been painting stormtroopers recently and has suggested using gloss varnish to help settle the wash in the recesses so I’m going to give it a crack

Okay folks, gloss trick didn’t work so back to painting a base coat and using a white highlight with a wash. FYI there is a brainmatter beige drybrush in here somewhere but forgot the pic!Okay folks, gloss trick didn’t work so back to painting a base coat and using a white highlight with a wash.

Lava orange was to bright for the hair so a 50/50 mix with fur brown toned it down.Lava orange was to bright for the hair so a 50/50 mix with fur brown toned it down.

Shocking I know but there’s TWO drybrushes at this stage, the Brainmatter Beige didn’t show up on the ammo box so went in with white.

Next up the washes, there is also a flesh wash on the skin which I forgot to snap!

Quick Matt coat and she’s ready to join the team!

Now that the core heroes they need someone to rescue. Step up the crazed POW, O'Reilly. Now that the core heroes they need someone to rescue. Step up the crazed POW, O'Reilly.

Okay technical time, i need to blend the mutated arm into the skin colour. Was thinking i’d try sponging on the red to blur the colour change but soon realised its way to small an area to get into so scrapped that plan.

So using a small drybrush i did a a few layers of dry drybrushing the colour change first using Chaotic Red, once i was happy it was defined enough i then came from the skin side with Barbarian flesh. Pretty pleased with the end result and didnt take long at all.
