Since my newest design, Petrus Holt is physically identical to his brother Nicodemus, I could use my earlier design as a base.
After a shave and a haircut and a diet, I started working on Petrus’s outfit. I borrowed boots from this nice pirate lady.
Once the aspects started coming together, I color-coded the parts so I could easily see which parts belonged together.
My first attempt at coloring him didn’t work so well. A bright purple like this is not a Warhammer 40k color at all. I also gave him armored trousers to show he’s wearing armor underneath all this high fashion.
After I felt I had a good color scheme, I started working on the shading and making some last-minute tweaks (like his nose).
More shading…
And the final version, with an added collar, power cord for his hellpistol, and a tweaked color scheme for the boots and the armor.
I think it turned out pretty good. I’d still like to see how your works progress from start to finish.
