Tropical Beach Space Marine by therug on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

I wanted to try some vibrant colours so I painted this classic Space Marine. It's an old space wolves sculpt, so it has some nice accents like the fur (now seaweed) dangling from his belt.

Paint scheme:
The shoulder pads and helmet are Gauss Blaster Green, shaded with Caliban Green mixed with Lahmian Medium. They are highlighted with Gauss Blaster Green + white.

The body is an Ahriman Blue base, highlighted by blending towards Baharroth Blue, with the final highlight Baharroth Blue mixed with a bit of white.

The pink bits are Vallejo Model Color Pink, which I covered with Volupus Pink. That didn't really have the contrast effect I was going for, so I had to re-highlight with Vallejo Model Colour Pink, again mixing in a bit of white for the final highlight.
