Dark Elf Shades

There are several things I tried on these minis: * I tried painting the crossbows in a realistic wooden colour scheme, using two complementary brown colours. * It's also the first time I really tried the blending technique on the cloaks. A good blend is something I found very hard to achieve. To a lesser extent I also blended his pants and tunic. * I'm not really good at painting NMM (something I've tried a few times) so this time I tried using some techniques on how to paint realistic metallic colours on the swords. As with my Witch Elves (ID 87946) I didn't paint their skin as pale as the GW ones, because I think they look sick (and not in a good way ;-) ). Please let me know what you think, I would really appreciate it!! Cheers!!

The skin is looks OK, the xbows look different, try using the darker brown as wavy lines to ive the impression of grain rather than what looks to be rough patches. The trousers look good but I would have used a different colour for the boots/shoes as they now clash, you could try a swamp/beastial brown with a scorched/chocolate brown thin wash. the blue of the tunic and purple of the cloak look good together but I do not like the heavy black colours in the folds, for the tunics you could try a marine blue and work t up to a blue/grey and the cloak start with a to 1 purple and black mix and work up from there but keep all the coats after the base coat very thin but not quite a wash. Hope this helps, they are looking good so I will be looking out for more from you :D
