The red skin and scales could work but the difference between the two would have to quite drastic - so one dark red and one bright. I think you might need to reconsider the colour choices a little bit. It is your choice, but I feel that red and red will just blend too much together.Kuffehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362276686961154685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758748334232026238.post-36775923335939775772010-09-07T13:08:48.965-04:002010-09-07T13:08:48.965-04:00Nuclear gives GREAT advice here- mechrite red make...Nuclear gives GREAT advice here- mechrite red makes painting red (a difficult color!) so much easier!Asmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555809677595527426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758748334232026238.post-90981214140927245802010-09-07T03:53:47.072-04:002010-09-07T03:53:47.072-04:00For painting red- If you want to base the model in...For painting red- If you want to base the model in blood red, start with a coat of mechrite. that color, as a foundation paint, has the pigment to cover white primer. Personally, I find white just as problematic as black for building up solid color as instead of looking too dark, the white ends up showing through, thus necessitating another coat anyways. <br /><br />Using foundations and washes where ever possible is always a good thing. If you are doing any bright, primary color, always base with the foundation of that hue first.<br /><br />I like the idea you posed in the second to last paragraph. If you are going to do each breed of lizardman a different color, why would temple guard be different from saurus? They are both saurus, just one is more veteran. Of course the models would have you believe there's more than just a pt of WS and I different between the two, but I digress.Nuclearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515333278341428068noreply@blogger.com
