mini painters

[noretoc]

Not sure which forum to put this, so here it goes. I am new to painting minis. I have a campaign going where it is heroes versus creatures of shadow. I am trying to personalize the minis I use. For shadowhounds, (Dogs made of shadow) they are described as creature with fur black as night, and gleaming white teeth. Thier eyes are also black and pupilless. Now, I picked up some hellhound fig, and are going to use them, but am having trouble with the color scheme. I start with a base coat of black, and from there I am lost. I tried using a grey wash, a blue wash, and both as highlights also. I even tried using white as a highlight. Anyone have any suggestion on some techniques or colors to try?

I've never painted a mini in my life, so I can't help you there. But I did want to say that you will probably get a better response to this sort of question if you ask it in the Art Gallery forum.

Holy hand of Vecna. I never even knew there was an art gallery forum. Thank you very much buttercup (will teach me to scroll ALL the way down) Sorry to everyone else.

Holy Hand of Vecna? What did you say your religion was again? Somebody grab him while I distract him.
