edonil Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 So, I'm currently working on the color scheme for my Kirai crew, and settled on a darker tone for it. Currently painting up an Onryo, and I've used a dark grey highlighted red for the outer kimono, and the same grey highlighted purple for the inner kimono. I'm curious if anyone had any suggestions on a darkish color for the skin tones of my ghosts? I want to do the white mask on the Onryo, but I don't want the skin tone to be as bright as the normal color scheme. I had been thinking just a flat out grey, but wasn't sure. Thoughts?

Stargazer Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Mix in some grey with a flesh tone, it will wash out the flesh colour and darken it down without making it too bright. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 It's definitely something to try, thanks! It looked like Wyrd went for a bone color, I think I'll try mixing in grey with bone and going that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naravus Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 As stargazer stated, desaturating your flesh colours with grey would look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twenty4seven Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Flesh colors with grey look great but I sometimes like to mix straight pink (the vallejo equivalent of gw's discontinued tentacle pink) with a codex grey type color. It should yield a pretty dark and almost purplish flesh and might go well with the kimono's color scheme you described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
