I’ve put some time
into painting the Dark Eldar Scrouge this week and made quite a bit of progress.
So far so good but I’m itching to get the wings finished as they will really
change the dynamic of the whole mini.
I’m really enjoying
experimenting with the brown/orange & blue/grey colour palette. I’ve always
liked using warm/cool colour contrasts but using them to create a warm
shadow/cool highlight effect is (for me) a totally new approach.
This approach is
inspired by the idea of reflecting the earth tones from below and the sky from
above as seen in NMM. The trick has been in finding a way to do this that felt
like a natural development of my own style rather than just copying the work of
others. Things seemed to click when I started to work up from a brown base
coat. I initially intended the overall look to have a far more neutral/greyish
tone to it but as I worked the brown/blue contrast started to pop and that felt
right for how I like to use colour.
