discussion Life Miniatures 1/12th Stand alone

[Steve Brodie]

started this one over a year ago and abandoned it, just couldn't get the flesh looking right, will have another go with some oils. Will use the acrylics as the base for the oils

to be honest my interest has been re ignited as i have just started watching the walking dead from the very beginning. never saw it 1st time round

I approached this one with quite a bit of trepidation, never painted female flesh before, and the box art is quite amazing. So i have gone for a more suntan/olive skin approach, thinking she has been out in the open for a fair amount of time. All painted with oils over an acrylic base. Its amazing to see how 'off' the standard 'flesh' colour on her right arm ( Scalecolor artist acrlyics)is. Need to tidy up her eyes and obvioulsy paint her right arm, but pretty happy with were we are at the moment.

That’s a nice realistic skin tone right there Steve. Transitions are beautifully smooth as well. Interest that the “stock” skin tone is so red. I use Vallejo myself, and that is always tinted too yellow…..

Hi Steve
Figure painting is very, very hard but female figure painting is a even harder. The skin on her is excellent. Very smooth and the blending is perfect. I think the 'oils over acrylic' approach is just right for female skin, especially young female skin.

Nearly finished (98%) complete, just to add on the rifle stock and some 'rope' for a sling
