ah i have been chasing a bit more of a pinker tone to guilleman... didn't think of using a pink / red contrast with it and some medium thanks for the idea
Astounding timing. Last week I printed a model to learn flesh-tone painting. I figured, after painting miniatures for over 30 years, it might be time. Ah, the joys of painting miniature giant robots and power armored soldiers - it just doesn't come up that often!
You are awesome and I did in fact get that reference from the end of buffy, angel, and a few others shows. I always make a couple of zombies named Gurrr and Arrrgh for things like blood bowl or necromancers. hehe
Thanks for offering lots of options, I've just been using Guilliman Flesh for light skin and Wyldwood for dark skin so far. I'll add Gore-Grunta Fur to the shopping list to get some lighter-dark skin dudes done when it comes time to crack open my Cadia Stands box! (which is silently judging me from across the room right now, unopened...)
With the Catachan Colonel, which you painted with a mix of Gore-Grunta Fur and Fyreslayer Flesh, what did you use as your base colour? I'm wanting to paint tanned Iraqi skin.
May I ask for your suggestion on using Dreadful Visage contrast paint, I had purchased it as a skin tone for my Slanesh but I'm not using it properly I believe
@@swordnsteele712 I've tried it over Grey seer in a can, without using contrast medium it makes the skin tone look like it's had a Grey wash instead of that purplish tint that I see in the bottle, but when I add medium it becomes so light that it becomes nothing more than using an extremely light glaze, I was hoping to achieve a pale Grey skin with that muted purple Grey in the recess but finding a good dilution with medium is making it problematic
Yes, over Grey Seer it is significantly more grey than purple. The purple in the bottle will show better over a cream like Wraithbone and also pure white. Since you probably have the models primed with Grey Seer, consider drybrushing a white over top of that, and then applying your Dreadful Visage. Unless you are happy spraying one coat of white over them, which would do the trick too. Any pure white should do if you're drybrushing, and the thicker it is, the easier to drybrush. Just remember to brush the paint off first onto cardboard so you have barely any on your brush and then gently drybrush your model (I say gently because those little arms need a gentle touch, and maybe a supporting finger behind as you brush!) Alternatively, if you are going for a grey purple skin tone, and just want more purple than it is currently offering, rather than lightening the colour, then consider adding an equal amount of Magos Purple to your Dreadful Visage, as that will help counter the blue tones (grey) created by the Grey Seer and bring it more to the purple you may have originally intended. A teeny touch of Luxion Purple could also do it, because it's so vibrant, but that would darken it where Magos Purple would not. 🤔 Best of luck!
Ah, I would say about a even mix of Darkoath Flesh and Volupus Pink and Contrast Medium, and then thinned even further on the model in some places with careful applications of Contrast Medium alone :)
5:04 what is the proportion of the mix. This flesh color is the one im looking for Caucasian ppl. Normal guilman flesh look too dark for light skinned ppl
I'm just joking, but maybe some people will cancel you because u use photos of dark skin people as example... Yes, we are living in beautifull times...
The funny thing about cancelling is that it only seems to work effectively with the active support of the object of cancellation; a sort of latter-day auto-da-fe.
From a very simplstic perspective, they look okay but neither of the examples appears to really have any depth to their appearance. They're just one tone with a highlight to define them. If flesh tones were really the aim here, I would hope there were something else to help define them. It would be easier with a skeleton. Given they are expected to be "flesh", I can't help but expect a bit more. The brown skin tones are nearly completely unnoticeable. I have absolutly no idea what I am supposed to be looking at. Seems barely recognizable to me. Even in focus, it's hardly more than a dark shade of brown. Near zero contrast. Really not impressed. The combination of tones you made for the colonel match much better and reprsent a skin tone. Clearly using these combinations of paint are an art form. Mixing them appropriately is essential. Appreciate you making that point. Thank you.
That magos purple + other flesh tones is gold! Loved it and will incorporate it
*Volupus Pink
thank you for this explanatory video, what a pleasure to follow them. You exude happiness and your smile warms our hearts.
Literally the perfect timing for me! Added to favourites!
Thank you , Lady Naomi .

Great video Naomi. I love guilliman / wraithbone for European Bolt Action infanty skin. So easy.

Thank you! This has helped me. I'm going to pick up some Fireslayer Flesh now! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thx 4 all the work u put into this! This is helping me quite a bit!
Came for the Contrast paint tips, stayed for the Mutant Enemy reference 🤣

Oh hi, don't mind me. I just came here to watch the video, press the like button and to say: I love you Naomi 😘. Thx for another useful video, girl👌

interesting. lots to think about when choosing paints... i hope you do more painting vids.

I think this video would be my best answer :)

Hmmmmm what is the primer you are putting it over? I'll be sure to do that one soon and show my brushstrokes so you can compare :)

@@swordnsteele712 thank you so much! 💓
Thanks for another great video. I always appreciate the detail you put into everything!
5:30 - in what proportions did you mix these 3 contrast paints (Darkoath Flesh, Technical Contrast Medium and the red one) ?
Ah, I would say about a even mix of Darkoath Flesh and Volupus Pink and Contrast Medium, and then thinned even further on the model in some places with careful applications of Contrast Medium alone :)
informative and lovely, thankyou
Very cool video thank you!
Thank you, the side by side comparison is invaluable
Useful! Thank you!
5:04 what is the proportion of the mix.
This flesh color is the one im looking for Caucasian ppl. Normal guilman flesh look too dark for light skinned ppl
I got the reference, made me smile 🤣
Cool as always.
I really want a dark flesh tone from citadel.
Did you not watch the video? She showcased Cygor Brown as a dark skintone.
cool
It's quite obvious whenever you want a paint on hand when you litterally use your hands as the brush off sheet mylady 🤣🥰
🖤💓
Noice
Gumb says put on a happy face 🤗
Buffy!
you have a very cute voice!
At first i thought that mutant thing at the end was a nazi...
Grr.. Argh.. Anyone who grew up on the late 90's of early 2000's should get the Buffy or Angel Reference!

this is instructive ! I already have guilliman flesh so there's no need for those other 2, thanks
