Another Zombie

Hey it has been a while!; another Zombie and it isn't even Zomtober (and no doubt there will be another Zomtober! Maybe I could make a suitable logo for Zomtober 2013? But I digress...).

Anyhow, I have recently been painting quite a bit of Anima Tactics (as can be seen on my Anima Tactics blog here) and a bit of stuff for Pulp City like my Hadrons (which can be seen here on my Pulp City blog), and I thought I needed to do something else.

Time for a zed then. Well I tackled one and found I am a bit rusty at painting my Zombie flesh recipe; I also tried a different wash (Army Painter Soft Tone; back to Devlan Mud for as long as my stash lasts...), and I was trying out my new Lava Orange from Army Painter. A great base orange, but I need to work out how to work with it, both shading/washing and highlighting. In the mean-time it is another Zombie done, and will have two more with the orange colour theme to continue my Zombie threesomes. Oo-er - that sounds worse than I meant it to!

The red around the neck wound is a mix of TCR and Secret Weapon ruby red; the glossiness will go (I hope) when the Purity Seal is applied. When the darn weather permits...

The mini is from Hasslefree, but not sculpted by Kev White as far as I know - not sure who the sculptor is. I prefer the Studio Minis ones generally speaking, but if I ever paint all my Zeds, at least they should be varied!

    1. Thanks, very kind.

      I don't think it is my best, but I am pretty happy with it nonetheless. :)
