A little progress on the retro elf from Citadel with all the flesh now complete and the hair blocked in. The hair still has to receive a wash of Devlan mud and then be highlighted with Rich Butternut B & C from Foundry.
The tunic will most likely start off with a base coat of Mechrite Red to cover the black before toning up to a brighter red.
There is one part of the figure that remains an issue as not entirely sure what it is; there is a breast plate or raised part of the tunic on the elf's chest. Don't think its a breast plate as there are no visible straps unless they are covered by the hair.
If its painted in the lines of a breast plate will opt for bronze or copper colours surrounding a red centre; if not will work the colours of the tunic to a brighter colour to show this more prominently. The colours of the chest piece will also be used on the bracelets and weaponry where appropriate.
Will decide which way to paint once the tunic is blocked in.
Will be returning to the Moors very soon.
Cheers for now
