It has been a while since I posted here last, glad to see everything back up and running.

I painted these for a commission.

Superb mate !!!  They do look dipped though, is this the case?  I have nothing against dipping at all and will be doing a load of dipping myself soon  :icon_wink:

Nope, they are not dipped.  I layered them.

Nice work. Good to see you back :occasion14:

Perv its the limited color pallet that makes them look thatway.

I thought as the shading on the flesh looks very similar to the shading on the clothes they could be dipped but not the case.  I think that colour scheme is probably one of the best prospects for dipping though.

Sorry, I only got a front shot of them before I sent them off.

I think the lighting might have something to do with the color.  I ran the photo through Picasa, but it still isn't perfect.
