Justin was over at my house last night and, fully confident that a mere digital image could not convey the exquisite detail he had lovingly lavished upon his model one brush stroke at a time, he brought a single Chaos Warrior with him to show me. Alas for you, dear reader, I am afraid you must suffer through just such a misfortune, perhaps even unto your dying day feeling a woeful sense of unfulfillment permeating your soul- a small, Chaos Warrior-shaped hole in the very fiber of your being.
As you can see, Justin has carried his armor technique from his Chaos Knights over to the Warriors and produced a great result. Over the Gretchin Green base, he washed Devlan Mud and then went 'Eavy Metal on us and used red to shade the green further. Someone with a more professional art background can explain the color theory better than I (or my layabout brother who claimed he couldn't remember much of the color theory course he took in college), but by using a complementary color, in this case red, for the shading, the contrast of the red and green makes the green look, um, greenier. Anyway, just look at the figure and you can see what I mean. I think the right knee is a great example. The underside of the knee looks like a very natural shadow to me.
Good work, Justin. Only 11 more to go.
