Hiho...

I've a painting question...

I want to paint Wood elf wardancers for a GD:

But since the normal fleshtone is booring and too normal, i want to try out something new:

I'll paint my wardancers as they were a mix between wood ghosts(waldgeister) and elves: a kind of green fleshtone with white eyes.

but i dont have any idea how to do it

Hmmm, the first thing I thought is to just mix green into your flesh colours but I think that they will end up as looking like Ghoul flesh then... Maybe through Inking and Glazing?

Maybe you can look at the LOTR line, they have this army of the dead. They aren't white/ greenish, but I think you can get some usefull info on it.

Personally I like the idea but think it'll be difficult to make it look life-like and not like undead flesh. Maybe like skrit said, go for very thin glazes of green once you highlighted the skin, to creat a subtle green shine on it?

thx for the ideas... ill try them out before i destroy the mini
