Little update; First shots of the ogryn paintjob, he is turning out pretty darklooking as most of my paintjobs. things are not going very fast, its finally some nice weather here in Sweden so have to take the chances outside. so not that much painting.
Regarding paintjob so far; Wanted something different for the skin so i went the hard way and did a pattern of veins all over the skin areas. luckily the boss other arm is robotic ;)
continued working the eyes, first idea was to make some osl there but reconsidered and made them like regular goggles instead, to make him look less robotic. here is some pictures of current status.
Added some Bestial brown, dark flesh, scaly green and black using a kind of rough feathering/glacing technique, every brushstroke hasn’t have to be perfect as most of it will be overpainted anyway. You don’t really have to make any shading at all at this stage at all, as both the main colour and the damaged areas can with advantage be shaded together instead. more important is that you get the highlight the way you want it before using the fluids, this is because the different types of area most certainly need different colours for highlight.
After the fluid have dried, which shouldn’t take long – like a minute or so, repaint the banner. try to get a really thin layers of paint (or even better – use an airbrush..). Otherwise the masking will be very hard to remove.
The masking is removed with a rubber or a "hard" brush and tweezers. try not to get too violent when removing it… it can be a little frustrating at times but I should be removed pretty easy if the above layer is thin. It can be nice though if you try to remember just about where you put the most liquid so you know “where to dig…”
Full glory pic. i paint a really thin white line beneath the damaged areas to get a more "3d" effect of the damage. Also, some additional weathering will make it even better.
Here's an image of the finished model with the banner, not the best photos but yeah...
