Conan's legs are finished.
OK, so despite my shaky iPad shot here, you can see the difference between Conan's upper body and his legs. I cooled off the base flesh tone with green and used that as the base tone beneath the Belit's body, where Conan's legs would be in deepest shadow. Then, I warmed up and brightened to give just a hint of light and something for the viewer's eyes to look at.
Here's a closer look ...
I used the same principle on the back of Conan's legs. However, the shadow aren't nearly as deep because he doesn't isn't shielded by Belit. So, the base color here is just a tad darker than the highest highlight on the front of Conan's legs.
Here's the demarcation line between the shadow front and rear shadows. Remember the black and gray primer? Those helped me determine where this line would be. I softened it up and I think it's turned out all right.
I flat coated Conan to protect him from the masking I'll have to do before starting on Belit. I also blocked in his hair with a mix of Vallejo dark blue gray, medium blue, red, and black. I'm glad I laid that flat coat down because I put a swath of black across his chest and had to scrub it up with water and a cotton swab. How's that for thinking?
