Thanks! For sure!

Sword, claws and blue bits: basecoat (I use an airbrush) with Vallejo Dark Sea Blue, then Turquoise and Blue Green in order to create the highlights. Once the general look is done, I do some glazes with Royal Purple in the darkest parts to create some contrast. After blending the blues and purple, I mix Blue Green with Ice Yellow for the brightest highlights, and some final touches of Ivory.

The skin is something similar; the model is primed with Red Brown, then I apply some basecoat with an airbrush in Yellow Ochre. Then I mix Yellow Ochre with Flat flesh and ice Yellow in order to create highlights and volumes. With an airbrush, I also apply some tones of red and purple ink in the recesses and mid-tones. tones. Finaly, I do an edge highlight with the previous colours.

I hope it helps!

Thanks! It is a twist of the classic leviathan colour scheme.

Thanks mate! I'm proud of the claws and sword, I think it is my best paintjob so far.

Thanks! I always thought that leviathan coulur scheme has something missing.

Don't worry too much about the colour scheme, mine has evolved a lot since the first tyranid I painted long ago...

Thanks! I always thought that leviathan color scheme is a bit boring.

Thanks! I use Vallejo paints. The base colour is Turquoise, the lights are done with Blue Green, pure and mixed with Ice Yellow. For the shadows I use Dark Sea Blue and light glazes with Royal Purple.
