Yeah, if you want a less intense color, it may seem like a good idea to add white. But a grey can create some very nice desaturated results. As I said to BAM, I try to mix in greys that have a similar light/dark value to my color. So for the basic red, ideally a medium grey. For the red highlight, a light grey. And for the red shade, a dark grey. That way you aren't changing how light or dark the color is, just how saturated it is. Also, that way you can also more easily control the saturation for the highlights and shadows too. You can decide if you want to go 50/50 color and grey for all three or perhaps you want the color to be more saturated in the shadows (75/25 color to grey) and less saturated in the highlights (25/75 color to grey). I used a similar approach on the coat for my dwarf pirate.

By the way, when I initially suggested the color shift, I was thinking how the weathering would look over the desaturated red vs the strong red. But, seeing this stage, it also contrasts very nicely with the blood on his face. I feel like that red stands out more than before. I think the new color definitely fits the piece well. Going to be a strong entry at CB to be sure!
Great plan on the colors (especially to make the weathering pop), but it seems a bit bland at this point. Would it help to add some texture or a patern to the cloth as well?

There is much going on - a lot of humorous comical type shit. The base that I have in mind will have a bi level set up. IOW the back row of all stars will be about a half inch higher so that all of the hijinks will be seen without running into the others. It will be a plain base drilled out - this year instead of a diorama movement tray I will rely on the 9 tiny vignettes and the simulated plays going on in each. Without further ado-View attachment 62587View attachment 62588View attachment 62589

If you have a royal chubby breed called corgis you’ll know what I mean how when their paws get cold in the snow they have a cute defense called the corgi freeze: hence:View attachment 62612and none can deny with their fox like faces , their bubble butts and their bodies that are basically daschunds with hair only stumpier paws- my Sammy ,David’s Chloe etc etc are the most amazingly cute dogs around. That’s why the queen of England has 5 of them at all times from whence she was first coronated up til now!!!
