I just picked up the Church of Dagon set for Dracula's America and I want to paint the Emissary as an albino ala Lavinia Whateley. Any suggestions on how to paint albino flesh tones? |

Perhaps painted in a "warm" white with a pinkish wash? |

I'm thinking of starting with a light pink base coat and layering up to shades of white. |

and red eyes. Some sort of clear, almost like you would paint colored glass. |

I don't see any use for red unless you are panting an albino mouse. |

Mutant Q, I think you are spot on. Start with a warm pink, and layer with an off-white, such as Reaper's Leather White. I believe a pure white would be too bright for what you are wanting to accomplish. Google "Albino Humans" and click on images. |

I started painting my Emissary last night. I started with Army Painter Pixie Pink over all the exposed flesh areas (i.e. face, arms, shoulders, etc.) then gave it a coat of thinned down AP Red Wash to give it a little depth. Once dry, I mixed some of the Pixie Pink with AP Mummy Robes and blocked out the forehead, cheeks, shoulders and arms/hands. After that, I mixed more Mummy Robes in to the mix and did some highlighting. I'm got a little more touch-up to do, but so far I'm very pleased with the results. I'll post a picture once I'm finished. |
