Capes and more

I painted Eln's cape a week ago. Because I primed white I got this lovely shading effect with one single layer of green. For the Half-Elf I wanted a brown cape until I realized, that that cape must get a red lining. So he also got a green cape, but there I have to do much more shading due to the dark color and due to the liquidness of that color. I took again an older color which was going to dry up in the pot. Curses to the producer of cheap color pots. My 15 year old Games Workshop colors are still fine. But my 2 years old Games Workshop colors become (almost all of them) useless.

As you can see on the picture above, the red lining looks excellent. I made this picture at night. Sorry for that.

I did not paint the lining around the head part, yet. I need a better mood for that more difficult part.





The lady will maybe get a white robe. I just put a base layer "bleached bone" from the really old color range on it. So I can either highlight it more and more to get a white rag. But I can also put some chestnut ink on it to get a brown cloak. I bought a new red ink. Then it will become a red clothing.... No final decisions are done, yet.

The little guy on the left got some jade green on the pauldrons because they will be made of bronze. The axe will show no green when finished, for sure.
