has been watching some documentaries lately set in the Western Desert, and was inspired to create this...
Tyler was pure fun to paint. My instincts told me to paint him as if he was attending a meeting of the Young Republicans. I love the way the pale blue shirt works with the khaki shorts. As a bit of flair, he's got army green socks (they look too big for him, so they may be army issue).
The shirt is a mix of GW Ice Blue and grey, highlighted up toward white. The pants are VMC Leather Brown to C Spearstaff Brown to white. The socks are VMC German Field Grey to P Olive Green.
The flesh is the GW method again, with less Bronzed Flesh for a more pink look. Also, added VMC German Orange to the joints and cheeks. He looks flushed with exhilaration.
The crowbar is black, with razor highlights of VMC Dark Grey, then VMC Light Grey and various splotches of rusty browns — VMC Flat Earth and P Hellhound Brown, for instance.
The hair is VMC German Cam Black-Brown up to C Bestial Brown. Highlights are C Snakebite Leather, C Badmoon Yellow and white.
