As much as I would have liked, no brush painting was done today. Instead, I began assembling my acrylic palette. . .
Red's outfit is straightforward: black. Any variation will be introduced and executed in the lacquer and oils phases.
Her flesh, however, is not quite so straightforward. . . especially given the hue and tonal variances in the source material. Let us not forget that she is a vampire, thus we should not be surprised to see her in the ruddy radiance of health--or, for that matter, looking like "death warmed over". Per- sonally, I am leaning more towards the latter than the former. . .
To achieve a good chromatic foundation, I've selected three colours: Reaper's Bloodless Skin; and Vallejo Game Color's Bone White and Elf Skintone. The latter will be used only as neces- sary--to taste--to warm the otherwise deathly pallor of the former. Otherwise, I am not too con- cerned about temperature or tonal variance at this point: there will be ample opportunity to ad- dress this with the oils.
More to follow. . . !
