rediculously good
i feel beaten already

That is unbelievably good. One of your best ever - and that's saying something. Can you please, please tell us how you painted the face? I can't get over how awesome that looks.

Still lots to do including smoothing out that horrible highlight along the lower half.

I used a basic triad of khardic flesh, midlund flesh and idrian flesh all p3 paints along with vallejo light flesh for the extreme highlights and regal blue to mix into the shadows. I added 2 drops of thinning medium and a drop of water to all.

To start I applied several gentle washes of khardic. I say gentle as I don't want to flood the face. I normally with the brush against a piece of kitchen roll and then wipe it on my hand to remove the excess. I then applied a couple layers of idrian pulling the paint into the eye sockets and temples. For the final shadows I mixed idrian and regal blue and glazed the areas I wanted to be darkest.

For the highlights I layered first midlund and then pure light flesh. I think I thinned these a little more as it took a lot of layers.

And that's it! Nothing too complex really just a matter being patient. Admittedly I did practice painting skin a lot this year with loads of gw ogres so I don't need to think much about what I'm doing.
