Here's a few shots from the Black Heart Models bust that I painted during a live session last week.
It was a lot of fun, experimenting with new colors, in addition to the Mig Ammo Oilbrushers! This link will take you to that broadcast:
While I could not follow these reference pics exactly, they were a handy guide. I might still try to do the lacquered effect on the skin, but I have to make sure everything is completely dry.
I used a Badger airbrush on the pedestal base, starting out with light primer colors, and then going over the top of those with a few of the Ghost Tints. You can see that I emphasized the blue and magenta, as I thought this might be a perfect compliment to all of the greens and tans of the bust.
It was a tricky balance, since the colors on the bust were somewhat muted. There are some areas that have a deep blue green or dark red, but those are in specifically designated areas. Using Pthalo Green and Quinadridone Magenta really added some extra punch, very similar to what I do with the Reaper Clear and Liner paints.
I had been waiting a long time to test out these brighter and more intense tones. This bust was certainly a great candidate!

I will be painting many more of these busts, which I will be turning into various tutorials. Some of these will be "hard copy" recorded and edited videos available only to my patrons on the Patreon Page:
