entirely of women.

Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura!

Two weeks ago I introduced you to a couple gangers from my first Necromunda gang: The Unkindness. Last week we looked at their bases, and now I've got a few more lovely gang ladies to show you...

I mentioned the other week that I wanted to have a lot of variety of in terms of race and armour colour, but at the time had only painted the Caucasian models, so I couldn't really demonstrate what I was talking about. Today I can!

Lets launch straight in to my skin recipes:
African Skin: 
Base coat: Doombull Brown. 
Then I paint another base coat of Scale 75's African Shadow over the Doombull Brown. I then wash with Nuln Oil and then highlight with African Shadow with more and more of Scale 75's Pale Skin.

I really like the plum tones in Scale 75's African Shadow. 

Next is my super light skin recipe:

Pale Skin: 

Base coat: Cadian Fleshtone. 

Scale 75's Pale Skin > wash with 1:3 Reikland Fleshshade: Lahmian Medium > highlight with Pale Skin

I painted her lens twice. For the first attempt (on the left) I painted the lens-flair way too big, and didn't have as much contrast as I wanted, so once I'd finished, I started over. 

Next my recipe for Asian skin:

Base coat: Cadian fleshtone, then undercoat again with Golden Skin, wash with 1:4 seraphim sepia + lahmian medium and re-highlight with Golden Skin with more and more Pale Skin added. 

Finally, my recipe for the Caucasian skin of the gangers that I showed off two weeks ago. 

Base coat: Cadian fleshtone, re-under coat Scale 75's Basic flesh, wash with 1:4 Reikland Fleshshade + lahmian medium, highlight with basic flesh, and then 50:50 basic flesh + Light Skin

I hope you like the skin tones so far, lets get some snazzy looks at three more gangers this week. Just a note, I'm using a new camera from this week - which is technically much better than my old one, but clearly I need to work on the depth of field as some of the photos are a bit blurry. Sorry about that. As always, you can click on the photo for a higher resolution version.

First up is Gripp:

Next we have Trixy:

And the last model for today is Merlina:

Like I said, I hope you're enjoying our look at The Unkindness, I've got something special planned for the gang next week...
