Cyber Troll Heavy Gunner

This picture should look familiar, as it was at the top of the previous post. Today though I'm writing about the "cyber troll" in the back there. The big guy, with the big gun, who doesn't exactly scream "cyber" but more "dakka! dakka! dakka!" as he unloads rounds in rapid fire mode.

Unlike the space henchman, he suffered from some mold line issues, so after being washed, he got additional cleanup work. He's also kinda… flat, though the gun does a good job hiding that fact. 

After being primed with blue liner, I started working on his flesh. I used Ogre Skin as the base color. My initial coats of paint made it look rather cartoonish. Not the worst looks, but not what I wanted. 

The eyes worked through. Don't remember for sure, but I think I used ruddy flesh under the ogre skin. The gun was painted first with the same airbrush metal tone paint I've been using a lot. 

Then I added the sample blue metallic paint to the gun, painted the chaps/overalls with ruddy flesh, highlighted up with leather brown and Osirian Sand. 

The shirt and paints were painted with Denim Blue. 

As I was unhappy with the cartoonish flesh, I mixed up a shadow using Runic Purple. I then used the same purple for the hair undercoat, and then brought it up with Breast Cancer Awareness Pink. The gun got a wash of blue liner. The horns and elbow spikes were brought up with the Osirian Sand I used with both the leather and the denim. 

The bandana wrapped around his wrist was painted with Holly Berry red, with a touch of Candlelight Yellow to highlight it. I also used the red for the lights/buttons on the gun, and on the space henchman's gun. The same Candlelight Yellow was used on the skin as the final highlight. 

The metal plates on the legs and gloves, and the clasps on the belts and boots were also painted with the metal tone airbrush paint, and washed with blue liner. 

And now these two mercenaries are ready to be hired for your crew. They aren't really who you'd want, but they're who you can afford. Good luck.
