British SAS girl. Valkiria miniatures

[fermatgom]

Hello!
This my last work. The lovely British SAS girl from Valkiria miniatures. Probably the figure that has put me more into test. It took me thousands of brush strokes till I got a smooth finish on her skin! I really recommend it!

Hope you like it!

Great work. Very good flesh tones; oils or acrylics. Mind sharing the color palette?

About the pallete that I used for the skintone it is all in acrylics. For the flesh tones I tried some paints from ak interactive together with Vallejo. I wanted a pale pinkish tone so for the base I used the AK light flesh tone, which is very similar to Vallejo's beige red but slightly darker. I like the Paint but maybe it is too matt for a fleshtone that I prefer more satin.
For the highlights I added basic flesh and light flesh from Vallejo. For the shadows base flesh from AK which is similar to matt Brown. I like to keep things simple
After applying the base color I airbrushed a light hand of a shadow tone just to mark the shadows. The rest with the brush!
The hardest work came with the glazes till I blended everything. I used violet, burnt cadmium red, english uniform, orange and old rose, each one for lights and shadows depending on the coolness or warmthnes...
At the end as I found the skin to be too matt I rubbed slightly her legs (don't be dirty!!! just with the brush!!! ) till they were slightly satin.
And I think that's all!!! Hope it helps!!!

Not in those bloody heels, she's not, you ever been there ? If it's not burning sand ,it's sharp rocks that you don't want to fall on And the horizon's not where you think it should be.... Think Death Valley with knobs on
It is a lovely paint job, no doubt about it....
