WIP Treasure Island.

[Cortezdusk]

Well, what can I say, but I dreaded my session at the bench this morning, not really knowing where to start.
In the end I decided to go back to the Vallejo flesh tones for young Jim.
I started with a mid flesh tone, painting out all the previous work, the started to build up highlights and add some shadows, while trying to keep it subtle. I'm not a 100% pleased with it, although I think it does look better.
I've also made a start on the shirt, using a mix of SC75 Brown Grey, AK Russian Blue Lights for the base coat.

Hi Malc

Like Melanie Ref mojo .....just can’t seem to get going ...but it will be back once personal stuffs sorted .....

Boy have I missed updates , loving the Captain and the parrot is a great splash of colour , nice work on the map 🗺

Agree with Melanie ref Jim’s flesh ...looks so much better now and the fleshtones are a nice contrast against LJ

Look forward to seeing more

Have fun @ the bench

Hope that mojo of yours returns swiftly, we're missing your posts.

I'm pleased you like the way Treasure Island is coming together, despite the issues with young Jim.
