Garrus Vakarian Play Arts Kai repaint finished

The repaint on Garrus went rather easily. I worked through several highlights then worked in shading using Army Painter Dark Tone (the new Devlin Mud) to define his facial features and the horns from the face plates. A good wash over his neck and plates on the back too. Then the tricky bit of smoothing it all out then adding in the tattoos. Considering the ease of finding reference it wasn't too hard. I'm just unsure if he should have been more warm toned, pics range from very tan coloured to almost white grey. I kept him grey but tried to keep it at the warm side using Menoth highlight rather than straight white.

  3. Sorry for commenting on a post that's a year old, but this gave me the courage to have a go and repaint my Garrus, even though I've never done anything like this before. So, thank you!
