It wasn't that bad to paint and it looks really really cool

It wasn't that bad to paint and it looks really really cool

I’ve painted my share of muscular mushroom-boyz in a classic yet effective style (black armor, red details).

But now I want to broaden my horizons and try out a different color palette.

I was inspired by this artwork (pic 4) from Weta on the Hobbit and wanted to try to create something with the same vibe. Here we are with my 3 test colour scheme

Edit: for recipes for the 3 attempts

pic 3 is the first try (based on a method to do jade): base incubi darkness > stippling black templar > stippling kabalite green > stippling kabalite green-sybarite green (1:1) then dry brush copper > dry brush yellow gold and little correction stippling sybarite green to make it an use metal.

Pic 1 and 2 are an other try of that method for both: base kabalite > stippling sybarite green > stippling sybarite green-baharroth blue > stippling baharroth blue.

And then:

Pic1 : dry brush olive brown > dry brush copper

Pic 2 : dry brush copper > dry brush yellow gold.

Quick low effort paint job... I forgot how tedious to paint cites can get...

The main reasons I wanted to buy the darkwater box

I really having a blast painting all those fat, smelly and roting guys and those 3 are the reason why I started Darkwater and Maggotkin
