Painting an alien sorcerer

From Reaper's latest Kickstarter. The noseless face and large eyes remind me of the T'au.

Painting

Prime Munitorum Varnish/Grey Seer. Paint the fur on the back.

Basecoat every furface using Contrast paints. Some experiments with pleasing results are detailed here.

For the yellow cloak, start with a basecoat of Heavy Goldbrown. Shade with a watered down mix of Beasty Brown and Orange Fire.

Add Dark Fleshtone to the mix for the deepest recesses.

Clean up a bit using Heavy Goldbrown, then highlight Bonewhite.

Apply some painting tips to finish him off:

Painting dark fire

Speed painting silver

Light leather (Contrast)

Dark wood

And paint the eyes Bloodletter.

Basing

Woodland base.

Finished!
