The Zulu warrior is now almost finished. He's been a tricky bugger to paint as getting highlights on dark skin has been difficult for me. Shadows were however easy, I just used straight black oils then blended the edges. I may add one further highlight shade just to lift areas such as the nose, shoulders and tops of the thighs.
The shield is also all done so by the end of the weekend he should be matt varnished and ready for the base bar some pigments for dust on his legs and feet.
Looking good - can't wait to see this finished. I think the zulu looks ok as is - love the headband!
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
