[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9768094, member: 4534"] I just wanted to quickly show how dry brushing can make a big difference. In the first photo above, the base color for the bones is is Army Painter Bootstrap Beown. I dry brushed some Army Painter Paratrooper Brown which is much lighter. [ATTACH align="left"]418646[/ATTACH]Why not just start with Paratrooper Brown? Dry brushing color upon color gives the miniature a bit more depth. I'll continue with at least 2-3 lighter tones, apply a glaze, and then apply a final brush of my lightest tone at the highlights. I'm trying to figure out what to do with the teeth. From what I remember about my physical anthropology course, the teeth tend to be a bit brighter, maybe because of the enamel. I'll want to make sure they're not too bright though. A secondary thought was to add an eerie green glow emanating from the skull. I've had mixed results with glow effects, so I'm rethinking my idea. I might just keep this one really simple and attempt to make a lovely skeleton that would make Ray Harryhausen proud. [/QUOTE]
