Some time ago I prepared the visualisation with blue&violet skintone and some white highlights (upped in Scibor's news thread) - but Cesnak forced me to do him very bright skin (almost white) wit decent toned shadows. I just realised that with that blue&violet scheme it will be just another zombie-bust-like mini. I finally want to do something different than I did wit zombie. Wish me luck

Sometimes I feel like real noob with no painting skills, who is unable to paint anything. Gosh...

Some W.I.P. picture of gobbo bust. I'm not happy about that, but I really don't want to paint it third time. The smoothness of transitions is different on the bust and I am pretty mad about it. I think I need some time to rest from it...

interesting!

I didn't think about painting nose red

The reds are much too saturated and vibrant in comparison with the light colored skin. I'm not really a fan of the skin at this moment, but that might be because of the red nose and wounds. If you want to smoothen the transitions, you might want to try glazing.

The eye looks great btw. Nice bloodshot effect!

I will work on the nose tomorrow. It's not finished yet. I still feel there's something disturbing and maybe it's the nose. I hope it helps...

About glazing - I am using it, but glazes with white colour included always make white dots where brush-strokes end. I think it's about the color consistency, need to work on it

I like the blue-ish hue to the skin, nice. The blood/reds are too vibrant though as said. Maybe darken them to a more brown-ish red?

I am not a fan of the Rudolf nose to be honest...

Here are pictures of my today's progress - I worked on Brogan's armour metallics. On first picture the base of armour with some shading added and on second pic almost finished armour. I have to do some corrections. but after several hours of painting under desk lamp, I'm almost blind
