There isn't much wiggle room. I'll probably add green to pouches, packs and such. Natural lobster shell with bleary streaks and spots, blending up to almost a bone colour on edges and raised areas might be the thing. I have to bear in mind this will be the scheme on the purestrains too.<br /><br />It's a pickle alright. I think if I get the carapace right it could be the thing to lift the whole scheme.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-51519294832611649472014-06-05T20:45:21.036+01:002014-06-05T20:45:21.036+01:00I was thinking of using something like that, perha...I was thinking of using something like that, perhaps edge highlighting to mimic what you might see on a lobster shell.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-76676790044755367182014-06-05T18:23:11.984+01:002014-06-05T18:23:11.984+01:00I favour scheme 1.

No matter what happens with Mechanicum colour schemes they tend to demand a green spot colour (lenses and tech usually) and the addition of purple doesnt do anything to change that. The large expanses of red force a path I think.<br /><br />Being metallic, the gold mask doesnt really change anything in the rest of the palette, although as a yellow/brown in the sketches it can appear to have more effect than it will on a finished piece. You have a far better handle on schemes with lots of neutral tans and browns than I do though, so you may have something up your sleeve that I dont. <br /><br />I have always struggled to find an original take on Ad Mech schemes that didnt simply look like it was trying to be different for the sake of being different and ultimately worse than the red robes, black/gunmetal/silver tech with brass/gold trim and green spot colours though. Its a conundrum.<br />cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-70482962784664729082014-06-05T17:37:46.092+01:002014-06-05T17:37:46.092+01:00Chitin is basically colourless itself, modified by...Chitin is basically colourless itself, modified by whatever pigment-bearing proteins are found inside it. So you can take your pick! I like the palest flesh the most, no. 2 on your scheme. Maybe keep the chitin pretty much the same colour but add streaks or patterns like you might find on a lobster?
