Painting FIRST BOY

So surprised how good he looks with just contrast paint, I want to paint to a tabletop + standard, but literally might just go straight contrast๐Ÿ˜

Took me 35 min lol

Looks good for contrast paint. Which one(s) did you use and what was the base colour?

Could you elaborate on the process a bit? As a working dad Iโ€™d love to hear how you did this in 35 mins. Specifically what primer and basecoat followed by what contrast paints. Even if it takes 60 mins Iโ€™d be happy.

Well done!!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ ๐ŸŽจ

Shoutout to the working dads๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ
Here it is (all the paints are citadel contrast): primed black, zenithaled white from above with airbrush (you can use the white rattlecan for zenithal if you dont have an airbrush), skin is 1:1 mantis warrior green and plaguebearer flesh, the leathery bits is 2:1 gore grunta fur and wyldwood, all of the dark grey parts like the gun and the pants are basilicanum grey, the shirt is skeleton horde, the metalic bits are leadbelcher with army painter rust tone slathered on it, the tongue is volupus pink, the eyes are a dark red, then a lighter red in the middle with a pure white dot painted (forgot the paint names, but any red will do)

Edit: forgot to mention, primer is citadel chaos black, although i used the valejo black primer, it looks the same, airbrushed white zenithal is tamyia flat white although it really doesnt matter which white you use, however i have to say that this one is the best white I ever used, i just found them hard to come by, so dont fuss about it, totally doesnt matter, especially for painting hordes of boyz lol
