Okay so started out with a black undercoat (I use p3 primers) they are the best and never caked up even without shading before use. They're my fav! The using a lisle e flesh/ Chadian flesh tone as a base coat.

From here a flesh wash was given liberally washed on to help me see where the highlights and shades would be layered onto the model. From here I've glazed on some rhinox hide and the base coat in several thin layer(round 10-15. Then did the same steps with layering into the deepest parts some p3 coal black. Again layerd around 10-15 layers as I use extremely thinned paints even very thinned even for a glaze. Because they're really diluted it helps then dry very fast allowing me to paint at a high rate of turnout. After this it was pure Abadon black again very thinned glazes applied in the recesses of the mini. Then ready for the highlights I started with a Chadian flesh tone and a coal black mix in about a 4:1 ratio (a Lil black goes a long way. After this I laid on Kislev flesh added to the 4:1 mix of the previous . It's here where it starts to pop nicely passing my 2 ft test. If all the details can be discerned by the eye if the viewer from 2 feet away it has passed the test and is popping nicely and highlights and shades are dark enough. But to make sure I added some ushabti bone to the previous mix . After that I used pure white from reaper and applied it sparingly as I never go up to white or down to black on their own. The lightest and darkest ill go are the black and or whites ADDDING them in small amounts to the previous highlight / shade colors. REMEMBER WE WANT BRIGHTER NOT WHITER AND DARKER NOT BLACKER. Hence is the eavy metal approach to mini painting. After all that I've ended with a yellow glaze(about 3-4 coats) brushed onto the model. Here is where I'm at.View attachment 30107

View attachment 30115 Mostly done here's where 10% is left and ill start detail work like the base and add ins things that ill add like those mischievous Lil buggers ... Nurglings!View attachment 30116 Their going to be hanging off his guts and 1 will be holding a skull in his hand then some shields broken on the ground along with a few arrows then done. REMEBER guys this is another tactic for placing as a finalist in a painting comp like golden demon. I've seen alot of technically perfect paintjobs that won atop 3 spit but also I've seen paintjobs that are good enough but it's the details and the conversions that really took the judges by surprise.even if your painting technique is still evolving all you need is an idea and a little luck with an entry and bam. You could be holding 1of these!

I so wish that GD was still in the States. As soon as I get into this hobby they do away with it. Of course.
I really, really, really like this piece. His bloody face sets off a ton of emotion. One of the better examples I have ever seen. Good job there buddy. Honestly may be my favorite mini of yours. And you crushed it in a day. Ur crazy. Love the arrow ideas, and how they are going to hang from his guy, contributing to it getting ripped open.

By the way, I use P3 primers as well and I must agree. They are the BEST out there. Even when I mess up and apply unevenly or too much, it somehow balanced out and it goes on completely smooth. Love them. I have black and white but I have used the white mostly lately as I feel it contributed to brighter colors. The best out there though, that's for sure.

Oh shit! Mind blowing!!! I LOVE it!!!
A suggestion. Put his pupils in the upper right side of his eye balls. That way it's as if he is looking back there and saying, "My head itches...I think I have a head ache. What's going on back there?"
