Colour choice was easy – just follow the artwork – and I had the pre-cast base in my bits box.
Often with a single figure, as I use a wet palette, I just mix my own colours. So it was with this one. The blue is VGC Ultramarine blue with black added for the shading and VMC Ivory added for highlights.
The green was a Coat d’Arms Dark Elf Green mixed into VMC Dark US Green. Good old standby Goblin green for the highlights.
The Gold/Yellow is GW Snakebite Leather with more and more VMC Golden Yellow added. In parts I went too light so a very, very thin glaze of SL was applied in parts.
This figure is made by Foundry.

You have achieved such strong and vibrant colors here, he looks like he just stepped out of an issue of 2000AD! Nice base as well.

Great job...very vibrant. The face an the gun are perfect, but the rest of the mini seems to lack a little contrast. However, the style you've chosen for this piece is very fitting, and doesn't really require the insane amount of contrast found in other styles.
Great job, and best of luck!

Great vibrant look, I particularly like the gold. The base has a great gritty look to it.

Wow, really cool. That face is perfect!!! I do think the blue and green is a bit understated, but overall, a very vibrant mini and very true to the theme! Super job :D
