What you've never heard the galaxies greatest poet! Oh your education is sadly lacking! Let me remedie that right now
"Ode To A Small Lump Of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit One Midsummer Morning" is a poem by Grunthos the Flatulent.
[h=2]Excerpt
Edit[/h]Putty. Putty. Putty.Green Putty - Grutty Peen.Grarmpitutty - Morning!Pridsummer - Grorning Utty!Discovery..... Oh.Putty?..... Armpit?Armpit..... Putty.Not even a particularlyNice shade of green.As I lick my armpit and shall agree,That this putty is very well green.During a reading of the poem, 4 of his audience died of internal hemorrhaging and the president of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos was reported to have been "disappointed" by the poem's reception.

Ha 10 asked me yesterday it's just three paints here I'll copy and paste the txt I sent
Cheers mate (brushes away a tear)
Just the normal mix but I've thinned right down.
Base is Snakebite leather 3 very thin layers to give coverage but not obscure detail.
Then a 50/50 water to army painter dark shade all over to darken it down although badab black will do as well but DONT use the new GW black wash it's shit.
Then very thinly reapply snakebite leather over most of the figure but leaving darkest areas. I did very thin application just a moist brush and quite dilute.
Then snakebite plus Vallejo pure white just a dot of white to the mix kept very thinned almost a glaze then just keep on going like that adding more and more white to the mix covering smaller areas until your at almost white but not quite.
The only different thing I've been doing is thinning down a lot more and far more layers maybe 20 or so from base to finish. So paints just 3 snakebite white and the black wash.
Hope this helps.

Don't have to be shy arch, Andy paints in the nude so you can ask him anything
Is this a TMI moment or do I want to know more about this statement?

No that was, to quote "Questionable Content", a Drive-By Tactical Too Much Information.

Flips sake I leave the wip for five minutes and Lee is striping me off already! I only ever paint in the nude because that's what the great mini painters do........everyone knows that.......well it has to be true Lee told me.
Anyway I've started on the clothes quite similar to the box art at this point. I like the dark colours next to the gold adds a bit of contrast. Free hand to come last.

Cheers Bailey and thanks for all the help you gave it was very useful indeed.
Ive gone for a simple plait.
Heres a a few pics showing the process
1. Shallow arcs
2 dot in the centre
3. Cross the dot
4. Thicken the lines
5. Cut the line alternately to give the under and over
6. Bar the end
