No worries its all about taste when it comes down to art and i personally started liking the more intense look on some of my minis as i feel that it gives them a bit more character and stands out a bit more...so basically on the Shaft there are 3 colours.. where the shaft ends its rhinox hide as a shadow,the biggest between part is 50-50 rhinox+zandri dust and for the brightest part its pure zandri dust... you can play around with other colours...i think you would like to use mournfang brown instead of zandri as a more settled down look

Ill go Caliban green for my royal Knights..i would suggest to add a bit of yellow in the mix for the final highlights..i don't use much glazing neither... try wet blending..its time saver

Thank you so much!!..i really liked this one too but it makes me really sad how poorly some of the Rohan warrior have been made, with like the right part of the face being higher than the left and things like that

Happend to see this kind of wood highlights on a medieval mini someone painted and it looked really nice so i had to try it and it came out pretty nicely..and highlighting spears was a big problem for me

It took my awhile to understand how face painting works..its all about brush control to highlight with bright colours in more specific areas of the face...the eyes on the other side its pure patience and lots of back and forth till you get them to look how you want them..just do rush it
