Mollys greyish skin?

[BusterJ]

Pretty straight forward question, how would one go about getting that greyish looking skin for Molly? If it helps I use gw and pp paints.

You can look at my entry into the 2011 Rotten Harvest entry for my example. If you like the look of it I can tell you how I achieved it, but it was a lengthy process.

Dheneb Stone. Simply my favorite skintone. I use it as a base for flesh for my Dark Eldar, am using it for my Nephilim, and plan on using it for a long time to come. I usually just do one or two coats of watered down DS, followed by a wash (usually purple, but other colors can be used for different skin tones, I suggest watered down Badab black for grey). After the wash there is another coat or two of Dheneb to all the raised areas and a teensy bit to the recesses if you want to blend them a bit more. If you want lighter skin or are planning on striking highlights I would add some white to the Dheneb for another step.

Here is a link to some pics of my brood to show how it worked for me.

Thank you for this thread, have been wondering how to paint my dead justice, just need to test out what washes look best now:D probably go for the tip on using black for the greyish flesh:D

Well, the skin tone on the card is much better than mine, but...

I used P3 Frostbite, highlighted up to white, then washed with a wash of Fortress Grey. You can see her here.

EDIT: I used the same flesh tone on the Crooligans.

For my recipe I painted the skin a base of PP Frostbite, then gave it a wash of GW Sepia Wash, then once dry a very thin wash of GW Green Wash, then gave the recesses of her face another shading of GW sepia wash, then highlighted up with GW Rotting Flesh, then gave a final highlight of GW bleached Bone.

for GW paints, on the undead, I start with a base of Rotten Flesh (green) and use elf flesh for highlights/lowlights, depending on the look I'm going for.... sometimes I mix it up and START with the Elf Flesh and highlight/lowlight with the green... again, depending on the look...

Just did this on my Stolen and Hamelin. Then washed it with Ogryn Flesh. They don't look undead, but they don't look very healthy either (which was kind of the intent).

Great job on Hamelin though with a green or blue wash (vice the brownish Ogryn Flesh) they would look more undead for sure.

I thought the Rotten Flesh would make him look jaundiced, instead it just made him look pale.

Using GW paints I do a base of rotting flesh, then a flesh wash, and finially a very light drybrush of elf flesh.
