lederhosenI'd be tempted to say "I'm never painting fishnets on an ogre again", but the thing is, I have a second copy of that figure somewhere around.
(Head-thumpy moment: drawing the fishnets on with a felt-tip, with great difficulty since some of them are rather tricky to reach, then using an ink wash to shade the flesh around them, and discovering that the solvent in the wash also dissolves the ink I'd been using to do the fishnets.)
Anyway, it looks good now, and I remembered an important painting trick from Johann the Necromancer: an awful lot of imperfections can be hidden simply by adding dirt and grime to the model. And if an ogre can't be grimy then who can?
