This past Christmas I was gifted two very cool models by Skert through the In Rust secret Santa kitbash. I always look forward to it every year, and Skert did not disappoint. Working from my prompts (Which I believe were "vampyr", "primordial", and "bestial") they sent over not one, but TWO banger kitbashes.
After that, I added some spots of light blues and dark purple to the upper arms and legs, as well as painting the hair a dark base purple and transitioning up to an off white. The face, teeth, and claws also got painted in a blue grey.
To tie everything together, I covered the body model in a prussian blue ink wash. Seeing how the model turned out vs how it looked prior to the ink wash makes me wish I had thinned down the wash more. I lost a lot of the vibrancy I loved from the wet blending, which was kind of a bummer. To try and compensate for the toned down look, I added some jade and light blue striping on the arms and legs. After that I hit the leg wraps with some metallics, and painted the cloth. For the base, I left my original base coat over spray and added a light blue ink wash followed by a grey blue dry brush and some Valhallan Blizzard.
Overall, pretty pleased with how this turned out. I really liked not having to fret too much about a color scheme and just throw down what felt right. I'm going to make a point to have more one off models like this in arms reach to paint when I get burnt out or art blocked on bigger projects.
