[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8773104, member: 4534"] Even if you don't get the results you want, a painted miniature always looks better than an unpainted miniature. And if you don't try something new, you'll never improve. With that in mind, I'm working on another Games Workshop giant. One of my goals with this project was to paint a darker flesh tone and I'm fairly happy with the results. I started by using Pro Acryl Dark Golden Brown and followed that up by mixing the original base coat with more and more Pro Acryl Shadow Flesh until the final layer was just the Shadow Flesh alone. Because the paint is slightly transluscent, I got a pretty dark finish. But other than a reddish nose, the flesh looks flawless. How many of us have flesh that's so uniform free from freckles, moles, or other blemishes? So every painter gets to a point where they have to make a decision, "Am I done with this, or should I keep going? Will I ruin this if I keep going or improve it?" And that's a tough decision, it took me a while to get the skin on this miniature to do what I wanted it to do and screwing up means starting over. But I'm going to give something a try and I'll let you know the results. Maybe it'll work or maybe I'll fall flat on my face. Nothing ventured nothing gained. [ATTACH]261584[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
