Finally done with this piece after fumbling around with the groundwork for more than 7 weeks. After modelling for so many years, this is my first attempt in creating a body of water for my groundwork. It is not as straightforward as I thought and I hope that the mistakes are adequately concealed. Nonetheless I had fun creating this piece and I hope you will enjoy the photos of the outcome.
The base colour for the British army battle dress consists of a 1:1 mixture of British Uniform and Mud Brown. With the base colour, Light Earth is added for highlights and Grim Brown for the intermediate shadows. Grim Brown is used straight from the bottle for the deepest shadows and Brown Black ink is used to outline the seams and reinforce the deep shadows. Sheen caused by the ink is matted down with AK Ultra Matt Varnish.
Cheers,
Calvin
