March Painting Log
Wednesday, April 1st, 2015I painted 3 models in March, which is a really high turnover for me. Â The monthly painting challenge threads on the main Infinity forums have been really motivating, and I’m also going to be doing a two-month painting contest in April/May on Data-Sphere.
I did one of the new Daturazi; I’m fairly happy about how he came out, but I had some issues going back and forth on how much shading he needed to give good muscular definition.
Due to some paint bottles drying out, I had to make some substitutions from my normal color selection.
Morat skin
- base: Vallejo Carmine Red
- highlight: P3 Khador Red Highlight
- shadow: P3 Sangine Base
Armor
- base: Vallejo Charcoal Grey
- highlight: Vallejo Medium Grey
- shadow: Vallejo Black
Pants
- Vallejo Game Color Shadow Grey
- highlight/shadow: none! Â I’m open to suggestions that would be a good tonal match. Â All my shading attempts have looked bad.
Accessories
- base: Vallejo Red Violet
- highlight: Vallejo Carmine Red
- shadow: Vallejo Black
Glowy stuff
- Everything is painted starkly black/white, and then repeatedly glazed with a mix of 1:1:1 P3 blue ink / matte medium / water
I’ve got a number of Tohaa models painted, but these are the first I’ve posted online. Â I finished an old, half-painted Sakiel from last year’s escalation league and then did a Chaksa Auxiliar with HFT from scratch. Â I continue not particularly liking the Chaksa sculpts.
My Tohaa scheme was intended to be very speed-paint friendly. Â Everything is just a solid base coat + wash. Â I gave them a very naturalistic color scheme due to the large amount of horns, spears and so forth that they have. Â They come off as a very primitive aesthetic to me, with lots of horned skull helmets and degenerate beast-man companions in the Chaksa.
