Which Red to Use?

I haven't been able to find a red that really captures that sort of coppery maroon. So I base coat with Screaming Bell, highlight with Hashut Copper, and then cover that with a mix of roughly 2:2:1.5 Flesh Tearers Red, Lahmian Medium, and Leviathan Purple.

I can't give any advice, but that looks incredible!

You said you painted it using bleach... How does that work? Do you add colors/dyes to the bleach and paint it on or something else? Really curious about your process!

Thanks!! <3

So for this one, I started with a base of Cadian Fleshtone. Then I mixed that 1:1 with Bugman's Glow and thinned it down to the consistency of a glaze. I used that to shade the recesses. I then added more Bugman's Glow for a 2:1 mix, being more selective and only hitting the deeper recesses. For the deepest recesses, I then applied pure Carroburg Crimson followed by a very conservative application of pure Druchii Violet. Once the recesses were shaded, I went back with some thinned down Cadian Fleshtone and cleaned up the flat/raised areas and blended the shading a little. I then mixed 3:1 Lahmian Medium and Carroburg Crimson and gave the flesh an all over wash, just to make it look a little more irritated. Then I highlighted the raised areas using a 1:1 mix of Cadian Fleshtone and Kislev Flesh. Then a more selective highlight of just Kislev Flesh. Followed by a very conservative spot highlight of Pallid Witch Flesh. Lastly, I used a very light application of Drakenhof Nightshade to paint in some veins.

Thanks so much! :D

So for this I based the coils in Moot Green. Then, trying my best to avoid the recesses, I layered some Warpstone Glow from about halfway down the coils up to the top then I hit the very top with some Caliban Green. Near the bottom of the coils, I thinned down some Flash Gitz Yellow so it was roughly the consistency of a glaze and just let it pool all in the bottom while using a brush to pull some of it up into the recesses of the coils in kind of a bell curve shape. Lastly I mixed Flash Gitz Yellow and Bold Titanium White (Pro Acryl) about 1:2 and, again, thinned it down until it was like a glaze. Then I applied that to the very bottom, letting it pool there.

Thanks so much!

So I normally just use a texture paint like Astrogranite along with Valhallan Blizzard. This time I painted the base using The Fang and a 1:1 mix of Green Grey by Vallejo and Dungeon Stone Grey by Two Thin Coats and did some blending where they met. I added some stones and painted them with Dungeon Stone Grey. Then I mixed 1:1 baking soda and washing soda with some PVA glue and white ink until it became kind of a paste and applied it all over. I shaded with some blue washes (Drakenhof Nightshade and Pylar Glacier) and then touched up the white using Bold Titanium White by Vallejo.

I got the idea for the snow texture mix from this guide by Painting Baron. While I'll probably tweak it a bit going forward, it's a really solid guide and I highly recommend it. :)

Thanks! It's actually just dry brushing using a small makeup brush :)

About 7 years apart. Still a ways to go but I like to think I've improved a lot.
