#Painting Vashtorr and lost on what to do next and what to improve.

I was thinking the chaos army would be a bastardization of the typical "holy" look. Pure white armor, golden/bronze trim (I haven't done highlights on any of that yet) with grotesque flesh and monsterous designs.
ancient tinsel
I'd go with grey. It ties in quite well with what he is. He's like a more dark character. Like scary

Was thinking of doing sickly burnt flesh with hot, red cindering parts but not even sure how that would work.
To contrast the brighter, cleaner armor.
Ok, I will try that.

Or you can get the best of both worlds and glaze grey on top of the white
It'll be kinda grey and kinda white

I was thinking colorful,.but I've painted a bunch of tzeentch stuff and that's all I know

White can work you just need to pick an appropriate skin colour
Too drab and it'll just get lost
A vibrant red could work, as could any of the combos jatbi posted

So something like this wouldn't work too well?
Just with darker black areas and brighter/more vibrant moltent locations.

If you have the ability to chuck than into Photoshop/whatever and change the knees/loincloth to white that should give you an idea
tidal moth
I'd say give him a grey skin with greenish tint. White, copper and green work well together, but since it's chaos, a sickly green or blue would probably be awesome to go with

Should I stick with the black basecoat and build up from there with brighter greys?
tidal moth
Probably works as well as going midtown all over and build up shadows and highlights

your whites look like they don't have great coverage and it's possible to see the texture already there.
If you decide to do some layering from grey it might be worth trying to level the texture with some brushed on varnish before hitting it with the grey

Perhaps. Would have to play around with the molten core, since the torso area is mostly covered by armor

Yea I was going to mess around with it being more prominent around the bits of his horns, try and make the metal bits look like they have been superheated.

Might be somewhat incongruous with having clean white armor. Like the gas mask being heat affected but the armor not. Might signify the holy armor as something special

Yea, that is what I was thinking, but not sure if that would work? As you said it doesn't make sense, but then again neither does Vashtorr.

Sorry missed this earlier. I noticed my whites really suck. Not sure how to improve it. Maybe just stick with a very light grey and use white only for thin highlights and edge highlights?
