@Simon: in fact the textures are all the work on this mini. In fact I put on the light with an airbrush to obtain a matt base, thin and perfectly blended. For the skin I rework all the contrastes with glazes of acrylics, then I add tones ans more shadows with extra diluted glazes of ink (acrylics (games workshop) mixed with paint. It give to the skin richness and transparency like oil painting. Finally I add hair with small dots and lines with diluted brownish color tehn flesh tones. I rework all with some glazes to incorporate the hair to the skin and add somes dirt. I also paint veins and some muscles in freehand.
As you see is a kind of dynamic process that going through the painting process, depending on what are the other colors that i will put on the rest of the mini.
I hope it's clear, even my english is bad

 

[Simon]

Yes, your english is not so bad But i meant how you get such cold and real effect, is it blue in highlights or something like that ? Or very greyish base ?

 

[Darkeden]

I use a brownish undecoat. But I use glazes, blues grey , brown , black to unify things. I use a glazes of blue grey that a pulverize ont the whole model with an airbrush, then watercolor in microdots with airbrush. I Use the same turquoise and purple in all my mix. It's like little bricks in a wall, I use many technique to achieve the effect. It's quite complicated, I'm just following the image that I have in mind.

 

[Simon]

I understand, glazes are more important than base colors.
