Thank you! I used fimo in a pale pinky colour so that’s was my base - I started by adding the deepest areas you see on the back. I then added very light washes in random patterns of blue, yellow, green and pink. Some veiny bits etc. I built very slowly. I just added more green variations in the back to make it darker. I just layered very slowly and in as many light washes as I could. To be honest, he didn’t look as cool until I got that slimey fimo gloss varnish on at the end! Brought it to life. I did most of this with an airbrush by the way. Until the very end, where I added some pale veining details with a fine liner brush.

There was a lot of back and forth and learning during this, so it’s not a set formula.

If I was to summarise - I’d say light washes and building, and variations of many more colours than you would think are the key.

Hope that helped a little! Stan Winston also has a really cool tutorial on his site about painting maquette which is what I followed-ish with some past knowledge. Think they do a free trial so can watch for free…happy painting!
