3D print?

[fallow depot]

Yeah

The drybrush is picking up the layer lines. Maybe some intentional stippling some highlights will mask that.

Stipple on a lighter red (or more yellow red) onto the tops of the folds of the dress.

As for the face. Maybe painting the eyes and mouth would help.

I don’t know if stippling will actually help. Just an idea to try.

Also more contrast on the noose would break up the skin/dress looking like they blend together.

Something like this on the fabric maybe?

Trying to find an example of undead skin… but it’s been forever since I did a zombie. Maybe add a little desaturated green into the skin would help the contrast too.

Oh. Magic had a red fabric that goes way harder than mine https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1146276043410382959/1146276043662037125/image.png

Highlights to almost a warm white.

Ha, I wish that was my work. That was something I found online, as a "goal" for what I'll be attempting in my next project. This is the video where they show the walk through of it (looks like they used citadel paints):

Yeah I think you'll need brushwork for the face.

Layering in some blue-grey in the shaded areas should make it more interesting - below the eyes and in the triangular areas below the cheekbones.

Changing the eye color would help too. Glowy green would contrast with the red dress. Magic blue would be more harmonious.

Something like this on the dress

And used some foul green on the face

[fallow depot]

Something like this or i overdid it?

[untold olive]

I was thinking greyer for the skin shading but that also looks good.

Really it's whatever you're happy with. It's definitely more interesting and it draws the focus to her face.

Did you get rid of excess paint for drybrushing on a paper towel?

[fallow depot]

I did

[lapis sage]

Ive been hearing often that by using something absorbant to you get rid of all the paint medium and moisture leading to a chalky effect when drybrushing
