I started out painting this guy with a light gray basecoat. Since I didn't really have a plan yet, I wanted to keep my options open.
With no better idea yet, I grabbed the first color that caught my interest - a darkish orange. I thinned the color down a good deal, and gave the figure about 3 coats to get it nice and even. Orange seemed to be the way forward, so I grabbed a brighter orange and gave the beastie a liberal drybrushing with it. He wasn't quite bright enough for me yet, so I mixed some yellow into the orange and gave him some highlights (I painted onto these more yellow highlights...I didn't drybrush them).
I decided he needed some more definition, so I gave him a heavy wash of thinned GW Chestnut Ink...this had the desired effect of more clearly outlining his musculature.
After the ink dried (I sped this up by putting him under a lamp), I went back over the muscles with a color similar (but slightly brighter than) the basecoat. I kept this color thin to keep from covering up all my previous work.
Next, I mixed some bright orange into my paint and added some highlights to the muscles. At this point, I felt he was starting to show some potential, and an idea was forming in my mind....
